The magazine issue is moot point, if you can't carry 30rd magazines then someone would just carry 10 / 10rd magazines. Sure they would have to reload more but with most weapons it can be done in a short amount of time.
I also think that even the sale of firearms from person to person should be regulated more. Because any Joe blow can go buy one from a buddy.

I thought the same as you about the magazine size when I first heard about it. I'm not necessarily pro-smaller magazine, but I found some merit in the idea after thinking about it.
The reason I think there is something to the idea is because of the adrenaline factor. I still get a bit of a rush when firing a gun. I have to imagine that a person who is on an insane shooting spree is going to have shitloads of adrenaline coursing through their veins. Adrenaline makes precision movements hard. Unless a person has prepared and has the movement of removing and inserting a magazine down by rote, I would bet they are going to fumble it and leave a possible opening for kill or capture.
Other than that, we're pretty much on the same page.
