People in your country now commit suicide less with a firearm.
But - do more now step off a high building?

You might want to walk closer to the curb.
How would larger capacity magazines affect suicide rates?
But anyhoo.
The main problem with large capacity largely unregulated weapons is when they are used for mass shootings.
Mass shootings have stopped.
Other weapons have been used knives, cars and acid BUT they are much less effective and lead to less deaths and injury than people with guns have in the past.
Guns are efficient weapons of death and are why militaries don't go into battle with knives as the main weapon.
An idiot with high capacity.magazines will kill far less than if they had a big stack of 10 round magazines..
It's called stupid exuberance.
With high caps they shoot a bunch of holes in ceilings - and run out unexpectedly.
With 10 round (or smaller) they tend to aim more and keep better track of rounds expended.
Banning high cap mags is just kneejerk stupid legislation.
