The gunman used only 10-round magazines.
The Parkland shooter did not use magazines larger than 10 rounds, but gun-reform lobbyists are calling on lawmakers to ban higher-capacity magazines after the Valentine’s Day tragedy.

The 19-year-old school shooter who killed 17 in Florida on Valentine’s Day had 150 rounds of ammunition in 10-round magazines. Larger ones would not fit in his bag, Florida state senator Lauren Book revealed.
After his gun jammed, the shooter threw it away and successfully blended into a crowd of students trying to escape the building, according to three sources close to the investigation.


Critics of high-capacity magazines have pointed to the shooting as an example of how they enable killing and ought to be banned, but the Parkland shooter used only smaller magazines.

All the more reason to ban low capacity mags also.

The gun grabbers always hold on to the belief if they can just ban this one gun-related item, they'll stop all future mass shootings/killings.
The unfortunate fact is unless they ban cars, gasoline, knives, clubs, etc., they will not stop mass killings.
 As have been proved numerous times in the last five years, there's virtually nothing stopping a nut from getting in a motor vehicle and running down numerous people. They just have to wait their chance, and the chance will occur.
The trick is to put them away (if possible) before they can do harm, and to be armed  to defend against them if possible.

The leaders of the anti gun movement harbor no such belief.  It's simply a tool they are using to sway uninformed voters with their propaganda.  They would ban them all if they could.  They can't so they do it one step at a time.

But, hey... more than 2 rounds in a "magazine" is "high capacity", these days!

Guess it's a good thing my wife and I have a couple revolvers and a shotgun in our collection.

Pretty soon that's all were gonna be left with.

Until the Libs decide those are assault weapons too.
