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.
High capacity magazines are easily made with a 3D Printer,
