Since I don't personally buy into the Large Magazine Scare/moral panic- I'd go with either "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" (the magazine enables spree killings) or plain old animism (the 'big' magazines
somehow impel people to go haywire).

I rather doubt it- the VT and Luby's massacres both had more dead than in Tuscon, and both shooters in those cases used
"O'Donnell Approved" magazines. We need to try and avoid 'solutions' that are simple, obvious- and wrong.
