Los Angeles passes law banning large-capacity gun magazines

[Jazzy]

The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to ban the possession of large-capacity gun magazines on Tuesday, following San Francisco to become the second major city in California to take that step.

The ordinance prohibits Los Angeles residents from possessing a handgun or rifle magazine that fits more than 10 rounds.

Residents would have 60 days after the law takes effect to remove, sell or transfer such magazines from city limits in compliance with state law, or surrender them to the LAPD.

The legislation comes on the heels of recent mass shootings in the United States, including a movie theater shooting in Lafayette, Louisiana, last week in which two women were killed by a lone gunman who took his own life.

Those who were opposed to this ordinance were represented by Chad Cheung, director of the Calguns Shooting Sports Association. "I think it's more of a people problem rather than a gun problem," said Cheung, who uses large-capacity gun magazines in various shooting contests.

The Los Angeles city council next week will take up a proposed ordinance requiring gun owners to lock their firearms at home and consider an amendment to the gun magazine ordinance that would exempt retired police officers.

Thoughts regarding this ban?

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

All I can hope is no one complies. But L.A. is a liberal bastion of idiots and more then likely they will fall on there knees and surrender.

Perhaps the city council missed the story about the gangs promising 100 murders in 100 days.

Those fine young gentlemen will most certainly turn in their mags.

I mean many of these left wing loons that shot people recently were carrying multiple mags so this limiting of how many is of course stupid just like most things coming out of Kalifornia.
