It's a step in the right direction. They really should drop the idea of limited capacity magazines as well, imho. Really, the only gun control reform that is somewhat acceptable to me is to make sure private sales are done through an intermediary to ensure that a FBI background check is conducted.
Other than that all violence is a question of personal responsibility. If an individual commits a crime then justice must be served, but removing the liberty of non-criminals in an misguided attempt to make criminality itself more difficult is an unacceptable imposition on a free people.
