But if he had bought 200 rounds for each weapon, would the attack have been any less deadly? What is the function of concentrating on the number of rounds? It doesn’t really have a functional affect on the next “madman” attack.

It’s about narrowing the focus to those whose behavior warrants scrutiny. Cops would have reason to do an informal investigation, such as asking that gun club why they rejected him for membership or asking the psychiatrist if there might be reason to believe he’s mentally ill.
