Well, you just need to remember that the reason that three felons engaged in a shootout in downtown Seattle that injured nine people (and killed an innocent bystander) last month was because one of them was able to purchase a high capacity magazine. (Sarcasm of course).
That's the Seattle Mayor's opinion anyway.
“The tragedy that occurred in downtown Seattle illustrates a deadly loophole that currently exists in our state’s laws. Felons are prohibited from purchasing firearms, yet they can still legally purchase large capacity magazines. That is exactly what one of the Seattle shooters did on January 22, and all evidence indicates that he used that magazine 4.5 hours later to fire significantly more bullets than he otherwise would have in our downtown,” she continued.

I can't think of anything else going on in downtown Seattle that may have contributed. . .
