Mass shootings involving large-capacity magazines resulted in 135 percent more people shot than shootings *without* them, according to a 2009-2013 study from Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
The mass shootings at Columbine; Ford Hood; Tuscon; Aurora; Newtown; and Parkland (among others) all involved large-capacity magazines.
In the Tuscon incident (in which Gabby Giffords was shot), the attack ended when the shooter was tackled while trying to reload his gun.
