I'm pretty upset with the bill so I'm going to go out an buy the guns I've been holding off buying on top of buying a couple of AR 15 lowers before the ban goes through.
What really annoys me about gun control people is that they decide on what laws to pass based on watching Hollywood movies. What then happens is gun markers figure out a way around the laws since the lawmakers don't know how guns work, e.g. the bullet button. And the cycle continues with lawmakers trying to ban any new modifications along the way of their end goal of banning all legal guns.
First off, "assault rifles" murders are far less all other guns and including knives.

The new crime statistics released by the agency[FBI] reveal that out of 11,961 murders performed within the U.S. in 2014, 660 were committed unarmed, 1,567 were committed with knives and only 248 murders were known to have been committed using rifles of any type, including single-shot long arms and “assault rifles” routinely demonized by gun control groups.

Second, this idea of needing only 10 bullets and the extra time to reload will allow people to tackle the person reloading is absolute bullshit.
1) Only 20-25% of bullets fired by police hit. Of that group of hits, maybe 25% actually stop the assailant. [video below cites various critical hit rates]
So,
10 X 20-25% = 2-2.5 hits
2 x 25%= .5-.625 critical hits
2) It doesn't take that long to reload. Even an amateur girl can reload faster than someone can run 15 feet also shown in the video below.
However, most people don't carry more than the magazine loaded in their gun, and if they do, maybe one extra. The magazine capacity restriction affects regular people more than criminals. If you look at mass shooters, they always come with a shitload of magazines for easy swapping. Also it's not like they can't get the full sized magazines illegally.
