Diana Degette pushing for Magazine Restrictions

Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette introduces bill to ban large magazines Associated Press Posted: 01/03/2013 01:56:38 PM MST Updated: 01/03/2013 02:01:27 PM MST DENVER -- Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette is plunging into the gun control debate with new legislation to ban high-capacity magazines. DeGette introduced the proposal Thursday. The Democratic Congresswoman’s district includes the site of the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School. It is also adjacent to last year’s Aurora movie theater shooting site. In both of those attacks, the shooters’ rifles were modified with high-capacity magazines. Those devices allow attackers to fire dozens of bullets without pausing to reload.
