No. It’s a simplistic fix. You never address the fact that you’re treating a single action, ten shot revolver as if it’s worse for society than an ultra compact .380 semi auto that has a six shot magazine. It’s not just capacity, it’s concealability, and the ability to rapidly reload. Rimfires that reload manually, one bullet at a time through a loading gate or tubular magazine, are far less conducive to criminality than ultra compact swing out revolvers, Saturday Night Specials and assorted semi automatic mouse guns that don’t trip your six shot rule.

But no one engages in Mass Killings with those guns. They use guns with lots of bullets. And I like simple fixes. They are easy and cheap.
