Los Angeles passes law banning "large-capacity" gun magazines


Recommended Posts

As Ol' George Strait sang: "That's why I hang my hat in Tennessee."

 

In California, the state's Penal Code reserves most gun ownership and carry issues at the State level, not the local level. Three times in my lifetime San Francisco has tried to ban guns only to be overturned immediately by the state appelate court system for this reason. Like others here I can't see why the locals are acting against large capacity magazines when they are already outlawed at the state level. Maybe they ran out of the really important stuff to outlaw - like declawing cats and using plastic grocery bags. Or like Garufa says maybe they're after the ones made before they were grandfathered in - which tends to put LA Ordinances into conflict with state law.

 

I left California 19 years ago because I could see the ship listing heavily to the left and I wanted off before it sank. The latest trend is for the State's 43% conservative minority to pack up and leave like I did. I just hope I live long enough to see the situation arise out there where the only people left to pay for all the entitements are the people receiving them.

I think the real surprise here is that LA didn't already have a law like this on the books, or that state law didn't take care of it for them.

 

No big deal, out of any potential places I might want to visit in California, LA wasn't even on the list to begin with.

Perhaps a ban on Illegal Immigrants would be more effective.

I am thrilled that California has the Illegal Immigrants protected. That way they will keep sneaking in and running to California and less will show up in Tennessee.................. :up: :up:

So does this mean that all the gang bangers in California are going to take their UZI 30+ magazines used in drive by's and turn them in or throw them in the ocean?????................ :shrug: :shrug:

 

Why YEAH!! How can you doubt it? Surely you don't think they'd enact this kind of stuff to throw restrictions on law abiding gun owners, do you? :rant:

Los Angeles did the right thing. The magazine capacity restriction will force terrorists and the criminally insane to surrender their high capacity magazines. Moreover, they will have to buy 10 round mags or less on the street and may have buy or steal a new gun. When the mentally ill or Islamic terrorist engage in a mass shootings, the new law will result in fewer people being shot. Aren't these far left Progressives really brilliant!

I was in a meeting last week where a big company with 500 employees is leaving CA and setting up shop in TN. The are letting some of the higher ups move with them but most will be getting a pink slip. The only comment I had was "they get what the deserve". I hate it for the people loosing their jobs but when they elect the idiots that make CA very expensive and restrictive to do business in, what do the expect?

Does California not already have a statewide ban on everything that holds over 10 rounds.


Taken from the posted article ... "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 law would take effect 30 days after Mayor Eric Garcetti signs it, a move that he was “eager” to make, he said in a statement."
