Ban hi-cap. mags so the tens of millions of them already out there quadrulple in price and a nutbag just has to carry three 10 rounders instead of one 30 rounder if he's too dumb, lazy or poor to get a hold of the old ones? Wonder why these types of events never happen at places like gun stores, shooting ranges or police stations.....where everyone is armed? Really, what's your suggestion? Let me guess - pass more laws to restrict the honest, trained, mentally competent and law-abiding people like myself. Please explain how restricting my gun rights and hobby some more will make this kind of thing at all less likely to happen again tomorrow.

I can imagine a pretty strong argument that, "the smaller the clip, the smaller the body count". He was stopped when it was time to re-load. Most average nutbags can't reload in a crowd of victims faster than 5 people can tackle him.
Expanding the criteria for keeping guns out of the hands of nutbags would be an excellent idea. It sounds like the current safeguards in AZ. are a complete joke.
