Seattle shooter didn't have a gun with high capacity magazines

[Kaleva]

"A lone gunman armed with a shotgun opened fire Thursday in a building at a small Seattle university, fatally wounding one person before a student subdued him with pepper spray as he tried to reload, Seattle police said."

While he did kill one person and wounded two others, it's a very real possibility he could have done much more.

1. Hi capacity mags do damage for a lot longer, but a shotgun with the plug removed

can do a hell of a lot of damage, especially if loaded with 00.

2. One can buy shotguns that can accept 20 round detachable magazines.

3. Applause for student who didn't need a gun to subdue shooter.

4. Agreed

Just pepper spray and some real bravery, not gun style cowardice.

5. Obviously the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun ...

is a good student with pepper spray.

BTW what are the odds that the student with the pepper spray was female?

6. Magazine capacity can make all the difference.

Don't let any Gun Enthusiasts persuade you otherwise.
