And yes, shooters may still shoot people but if the magazine is smaller, they have to reload more frequently so not as many people die. The other issue is automatic vs. semi-automatic. The use of bump stocks to make a weapon virtually automatic is not illegal, and it is easy to add one on to a weapon. These are just 2 things that need to be looked at. You can't just keep on allowing people to do anything they want. We have to balance the gun owners' rights with public safety.

Evil people will find a way to kill. Bombs come to mind. As I have said before, when we are frightened we want to blame someone. DO something. This is a very, very complex issue. Those who are taught that killing is wrong, would only kill to protect their own life or to protect others. Or are gravely mentally ill.
