Last night Rubio was asked about large capacity magazines in CNN’s townhall, where he admitted that he’s changing his position on whether large capacity magazines should be allowed:
Student Chris Grady: “Would you agree that there is no place in our society for large capacity magazines?”

Rubio: I traditionally have not supported it, but “after this and some of the details I learned about it, I am reconsidering that position”https://t.co/EjObz2456f
Rubio says he doesn’t know what the right number is, but after some of the specifics that he’s learned about the shooting in Parkland, he is reconsidering his position on large capacity magazines.
He admits that banning large capacity magazines wouldn’t have prevented the attack, but the shooting would have been less lethal.
Note that the number the kid cited as being large capacity was anything over 15 rounds, and Rubio seemed to agree with that.
