If Patton were alive today he'd slap your face!Depending on what politicians call "high capacity magazines", the outcome could be good or bad. IMO, 10-rounds is a bit tight, but if they made it 15 rounds that would not affect the majority of gun owners. (Simply because 15 is the standard on a typical compact hand gun and should be more than plenty for 99% of gun fights.) Really, unless the United States government gets into an armed conflict with its citizens, there isn't much civilian use for a 30-round magazine other than the fun of literally blowing your money away faster at the range. (And if the US did have an armed conflict that was worthy of the citizens retaking the Federal government, we'd have factions of our military/police siding with the citizens so there would be plenty of guns to go around.)
If politicians enacted a 10-round magazine limit and stopped there, we should all celebrate. There are a lot worse things they could do - such as requiring registration, THE precursor to confiscation.

It's my nerves sir!
It actually does concern me that the government is considering taking such action. I was not in favor of the Clinton ban and am glad that it expired. However, I believe that if Obama were to only pass a 10-round magazine limit and move on, we should consider ourselves lucky that he did not do worse damage to 2A.
