How about this instead

The Colorado shooting has led to renewed calls to ban or otherwise restrict access to large-capacity magazines (see, for instance, Elliot Spitzer’s proposal, though that one is likely to be ineffectual). I think such bans might well be constitutional, for reasons given in my Implementing the Right to Keep and Bear Arms paper (p. 1489):
A gun with a larger than usual capacity magazine is in theory somewhat more lethal than a gun with a 10-round magazine (a common size for most semiautomatic handguns), but in practice nearly all shootings, including criminal ones, use many fewer rounds than that. And mass shootings, in which more rounds are fired, usually progress over the span of several minutes or more. Given that removing a magazine and inserting a new one takes only a few seconds, a mass murderer — especially one armed with a backup gun — would hardly be stymied by the magazine size limit. It’s thus hard to see large magazines as materially more dangerous than magazines of normal size.

Still, these same reasons probably mean that the magazine size cap would not materially interfere with self-defense, if the cap is set at 10 or so rather than materially lower. First, recall that until recently even

because I believe that's enough words... you don't need to use more words than that to get your point across
