I Guess It's Time For Some Common-Sense Controls

Unfortunately, it is time that I reveal my inner Quisling and point you back over to PJ Media to read Rand Simberg's article on Common-Sense Publishing Controls:

There has been another mass shooting and a revival of the illogical attempts by the gun grabbers to pass legislation that would have done nothing to prevent it, but would punish law-abiding gun owners. One of their favorite arguments, no matter how often debunked, is that the Founders wouldn’t have written the Second Amendment as they did had they anticipated anything beyond muskets.
...
A decade or so ago, when Fox New’s Bill O’Reilly was ranting about this terrible new-fangled Internet thing, that allowed people to write whatever they want and insult wise and esteemed talk-show hosts, and have it read by other people, I decided to take on opponents of both the First and Second Amendments with a little satire, which was apparently lost on some people at the time:

...Let’s be reasonable–of course it’s fine to let people have typewriters, and copiers, as long as they don’t have a paper magazine of more than a quarter-ream capacity, and can’t print more than two pages per minute in high-density color. There are legitimate uses for such things–printing up book reports for school, making PTA meeting notices and party invitations, and the like. We respect the rights of those who wish to indulge in such innocuous, if pointless activities, long a part of the American cultural tradition (though it would certainly make sense to register such devices, in case they’re stolen, or lest they’re used to express some untoward or scandalous thought).

As always, I recommend that you read the whole thing, including the comments, where commenter W.J.J. Hoge mentions:

We need to ban high-capacity magazines. No one has any legitimate need for a copy of Mother Jones with more than 10 pages.

I haven't had a chance to read through all the links provided in the comments but there is one intriguing link to a Jaz McKay article provided by Anonymous:
