Personally, I really feel that banning semi-auto military-style rifles, standard and high-capacity magazines will not provide a lasting solution to the problem. Bad guys will simply carry more magazines.
You are not looking down the slippery slope far enough. They'll eventually get to another step where they'll limit the number of 10 round magazines any one person can possess. They won't stop where they're at, assuming they'll get there via congress, which is doubtful at this time. They are always thinking ahead, down the road. They patiently wait until a trigger event occurs. Then, they push for their next steps, while we complain about how the existing laws they've passed over the last 40 years are not working. They'll acknowledge that they're not working "well enough" and that more needs to be done, or the laws need to be "tightened up". See New York. They just went from a 10 round limit in the magazine to a 7 round limit. They'll eventually get around to a 5 round limit.
