This new piece of gun control legislation would ban the sale, manufacture, transfer, importation, and even possession of firearms magazines that can hold more than ten rounds.Gun Magazine Ban: Why It Won’t WorkHowever, the Department of Justice (DoJ) conducted a study in 2004 that concluded that such a ban actually did little to reduce gun violence.“Should it be renewed, the ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement,” the study concluded.

Even it if it passes there is no way to control the number of magazines already in circulation.  Many, if not most, sidearms have magazines that hold well over 10 rounds.  Additionally, if your mass shooter is a law abiding sort he will just carry MORE magazines.  Only takes a second.  Take the VA Tech shooter.  He killed 33 and shot 17 others with two handguns.
