And the idea that laws will be broken by bad guys so we shouldn't have stricter laws is maybe the weakest argument of all. With that reasoning why have laws at all?

Laws should not be based in stupidity. Reducing the ability of people to be able to defend themselves is exactly the wrong thing to do.
Reality:
If you're a gang member, or other violent criminal, sitting there with your weapons of choice and large capacity magazines, you would LOVE to have stricter gun control laws that your law abiding victims will have to follow.
Fantasy you seem to be living in:
Gang Member #1: Whatcha doing?
Gang Member #2: Loading up so I can jack a car and knock off a gas station. Getting a little low on funds.
Gang Member #1: Yeah, that's cool, but don't you know, that magazine you're still using is now illegal.
Gang Member #2: Oh, man, thanks for reminding me! I'll stop by the police station to turn it in on my way, and use a compliant magazine.
Gang Member #1: It'll save me a trip if you'll turn in my clips too.
