Your six round solution is just as much magical thinking. There’s no external difference between a plugged mag and an unplugged magazine, no way to tell that the fix has been done except by magic wand or personal inspection. Magazines aren’t serialized or tracked, there’s no record of who has what. Your law just ensures that millions of them get stashed, and possession of the rimfire lever action rifles that are neither associated with crime or mass killing will become grounds for suspicion of a felony. Owners of hundred years old antiques, curios and relics will get caught up because in your worship of simple, easy, quick fixes (that in reality will fix little if anything) there can be no exceptions due to some absolutist orthodoxical belief in the six shot rule for it’s own sake.

Fine, then make those exceptions. But capacity makes the single shooter a mass killer. True fact. How would you deal with it?
