Among the list of things that needs to be allowed are high capacity magazines. The bans define high capacity magazines as magazines having over 10 rounds. This does not limit the power of the gun. The criminal could bring more magazines, or even another gun. In states where "high capacity" magazines are allowed, the crime has decreased to lows. The murder rate has dropped 52% since the amount of magazines has increased. Another thing that needs to be banned are "assault weapons". It basically bans any gun that simply looks like a military weapon, including the immensely popular AR-15 rifle, which is a semi automatic version of the M16. The rate of fire does not alter the power of the gun. The caliber of the gun does. Assault weapons are also not often used in crime, even before the ban.
