I have to agree with JimmyR entirely and then add a little.

Think about it, the trained people who are respectable and responsible citizens prove that there is little use to magazine restrictions. They are window dressing that doesn't effect anything. However, the homicidal maniacs that commit these atrocities, tend to be less trained and poorer. In effect, magazine limits are prejudice against lower income and less than able-bodied civilians.

Joe blow next door would have severe problem with 4 intruders in his house with having to switch between 3 10 round magazines. However, a properly trained military vet in the same circumstance (or a rich guy with the time to train and practice) would have less of an issue.

(obviously 4 intruders vs 1 with ten round magazines is completely unfair in all circumstances, however that is not the point I am making.)
