You have to draw the line somewhere. The line is currently drawn in the wrong place. It needs to move in the direction of fewer rounds, and a slower firing rate.

You have a valid point about large magazines - no one but the military/police has a need for more than a 10 bullet capacity.
I'm very much in favor of banning larger capacity magazines, for civilians - which is already the law in California, btw.
But evil people WILL find ways to kill us, without using a gun at all.
Witness 9/11 - there WAS NO GUN at all.
Think for a moment if a GOOD guy or gal had been on those planes, and carrying concealed?
Box cutters vs 9 mm?
I'll take those odds, any day.
"Armed People, not Sheeple" - don't think the wolves don't know the difference.
