Really OP? Your really asking that question seriously? If you want to look at how gun grabbers work I will direct you to the New Zealand arms code. Notice how more than 7 rounds makes a weapon in NZ an MSSA (Military-style semi-automatic.) This is the direction the gun grabbers are heading. In NZ even certain airguns are restricted. So in short, no magazine limits are not okay.

WARNING: By putting a magazine which holds more than 15 rounds into a .22 semi-automatic rifle, or more than seven rounds to a centre-fire semi-automatic rifle, it changes its definition to that of an MSSA.

Military-style semi-automatic (MSSA) firearms
Are firearms that require an endorsement on your firearms licence (E endorsement) and are subject to special security conditions. Only an E endorsed person may have or use an MSSA and it is an offence for anyone without this endorsement to fire one, even under supervision. Only persons 18 years of age or older can have an endorsement for one of these firearms. A permit to procure the MSSA must be obtained from an Arms Officer before taking possession of it. MSSAs require greater storage security than for standard sporting firearms.

An MSSA is a self-loading rifle or shotgun with one or more of the following features:
•Folding or telescopic butt
•Magazine that holds, or has appearance of holding, more than 15 cartridges for .22 rimfire
•Magazine that holds, or has appearance of holding, more than 7 cartridges for others
•Bayonet lug
•Military pattern free standing pistol grip
•Flash suppresser

You need a permit from the Police to obtain one of these firearms.
