73. I would have to disagree about mag limits.

My own experience indicates that it is quite easy to switch mags in under three seconds, and with minimum practice under two. Anyone sufficiently obsessed with killing a lot of people will have the motivation to acquire the skill to make rapid magazine replacements.

But more to the point, magazine replacement is one of a large range of factors that contribute to the effectiveness of an active shooter and most of those factors are controlled by the shooter. Adjusting the magazine limits on firearms will have little or no impact on the shooter's ability to adjust the time, place, or circumstances of his assault to adjust for those limits.

A mass shooting is just another ambush, and it's effectiveness depends much more on the planning and execution of the ambush than the ammunition capacity of the weapon.
