Personally, I really don’t have an issue with high-capacity magazines as a general thing. The great majority of people who have them aren’t the problem. That’s to say, I doubt very much that mass shootings will increase simply because of the availability of a particular piece of hardware.

I've talked this over with a couple first responders - and the scenario that scares the shit out of them is close quarters with lotsa victims and a couple of guys with riot shotguns with low light optics....
At close range (under 50 meters) a shotgun with light buckshot is devastating. (The Germans felt a shotgun violated the Geneva accord....)
(Emphasis mine)
Yup, at the same time they were themselves using mustard gas and chlorine gas, not to mention saw-toothed bayonets.
Oh, those wacky Germans.
