If you were able to limit the school killer to a single 10-round magazine, he still could have killed 20 kids, 10 with each gun. Or maybe he would have only killed 10, instead of 20.

So apparently, the “solution” to having 20 kids killed is to limit the total deaths to 10 kids killed. That doesn’t seem like much of a solution to me.

Or maybe 20, he just wouldn't have needed to shoot each child as often.

I trace the resurgence of interest in John Moses Browning's 1911 (the standard 1911 magazine is 7 rounds, 8 with a protruding magazine) and the .45 ACP and larger rounds to the 1994 AWB. Browning's last design, the Hi-Power, has a standard 13 round magazine, almost double the 1911. If you're going to be restricted in magazine capacity, wouldn't you want the largest rounds that could possibly fit?
