assuming their only purpose was to go on a killing spree.

however for the rest of us responsible gun owners why should be placed at a tactical disadvantage to a threat(s).

Remember felons already cant have guns or ammo so what makes you think they will follow magazine size restrictions
.
the majority of all non suicide gun deaths is criminal on criminal and often times the shooter is a felon and already bared from possessing a gun.

Things like Newton are tragic in a unique way but are extremely rare. I am not saying we ignore them I do say we need to look at what causes a young man to do these kinds of things. The answer I admit may never be known. But it is obvious these men had sever mental defects. What can we do to help these young men before they go off the deep end? What can we do to restrict their access to guns.

keep in mind that Assault weapons are used in a very small number of gun crimes most gun crimes are hand gun related and criminal vs criminal with innocents caught in the cross fire.
