Tracee Larson on NPR program discussing "high-capacity" magazines

Our former Vice-Chair, Tracee Larson, was on Monday's episode of NPR's On Point with Tom Ashbrook discussing proposed legislation against over-10-round magazines along with Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign, and attorney Robert Levy. Please click on the link if you're interested in hearing the program.

You can also read more of Tracee's own comments on her blog, The Well-Heeled Shooter.

Those of you who attended the Caucus Meeting last June at the TDP State Convention may remember the Caucus awarding a 30-round AR magazine as one of our door prizes. Your Chair disagrees with Tracee's position on gun magazines holding more than 10 rounds (and he owns a few 30-round magazines himself), but he supports Tracee's right to speak her mind on this issue.

All my best to Tracee.
