He used a Glock-19 with 15-round and 33-round mags (mostly the former, a few of the latter) for most of the killing.

While I am of course pro-RKBA, I'm really not so sure I like the whole "there's no difference between a 30-round mag and three 10-round mags" argument. I mean, the fact is, if 30-round magazines didn't offer any advantages in firepower, they wouldn't have been invented in the first place.

Well, I think generally speaking, the logic isn't that shooters are trained marksman or former servicemen, but untrained idiots (in some cases, idiots who fire their guns sideways). Therefore, the question is usually along the lines of, "What types of guns allow a person with the least training possible to do the most damage for their skill level?" I don't exactly fault the gun controllers for their logic, just their goals. :-)
