Kelly O’Brien, who was engaged to Gabe Zimmerman, appears on Good Morning America to say that the Arizona Legislature should limit the sale of high-capacity magazines for for guns:
Nearly one month after she lost her fiancé Gabe Zimmerman to a bullet in a Tucson, Ariz. parking lot Kelly O’Brien called on the Arizona state legislature to pass a bill that would reduce the amount of bullets in a magazine to 10.“I absolutely support it…And it is so sad to see 19 people gunned down in just 15 seconds by one of these extended capacity clips,” O’Brien said on “GMA.”
I asked her if she thought passing that law would limit constitutional rights under the Second Amendment. But O’Brien compared it to free speech and yelling “fire” in a crowded theater, saying that “everything within reason should have limits.”
“As you know Jared was stopped when he ran out of bullets. And I believe, even if not Gabe, other people could have been saved that day,” O’Brien said. “And absolutely more people could have not had the injury and stuff that they had to sustain.”

I thank God that Jared in Tucson used one of those huge foot-long magazines making it harder to reload and making it easier to grab, than Cho at Virginia Tech and George Hennard at Lubys when they used short “regular-sized” magazines which no one could grab, and reloaded several times…..think about that a minute.
This was the only “bystander stoppable” mass shooting because the magazines were easier to grab.
Those “high capacity magazines” … probably saved lives.
As you know, Jared was only stopped because someone was able to grab that “foot-long” magazine.
Colin Goddard, a Brady Campaign employee was unable to grab any of Cho’s 10 round magazines because they were too short and the short 10-round ones can be reloaded in less than a second so the Virginia Tech body count was higher.
That is what this lady wants? Shooters which are impossible to stop?
