Limit Clip Size in Response to AZ Shootings?

Worth considering.

From the article:

The assassination attempt and mass killing in Tucson, Arizona, last Saturday was reportedly committed with a Glock 9 mm semiautomatic handgun equipped with a high-capacity magazine that held 31 bullets.

The shock of having a member of Congress shot in the head at close range has led many Americans to wonder: Was it a mistake in 2004 for Congress to sunset the assault weapons ban, which, among other things, banned the manufacture or import of new magazines holding more than 10 rounds? Is it a mistake for America to have such weak firearm regulations more generally?

I suppose the counter argument here is that if someone breaks into your house with a 31 round clip, you need a 31 round clip too. How to determine which policy results in the greater good? This article deals with the statistics surrounding these incidents.
