LA wants to confiscate legal magazines over ten rounds

[n2sooners]

They couldn't decide what to call a magazine, so they called it something different each time hoping to get it right (they did eventually sorta kinda almost).

A draft ordinance proposed by the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office would declare large-capacity ammunition magazines a “public nuisance” and authorize police to confiscate and destroy them.

KNX 1070′s Pete Demetriou reports the proposal from City Attorney Carmen Trutanich was met with some skepticism.

In a report delivered to the City Clerk’s office, the proposed municipal ordinance would provide for high-capacity ammunition clips of more than 10 rounds to be taken off the streets by law enforcement, confiscated and destroyed as a public nuisance that threatens the public health, safety and welfare.

Trutanich filed the ordinance in response to a motion by City Councilmember Paul Krekorian and at the request of the City Council’s Public Safety Committee on Feb. 22 to draft a municipal law that would authorize a ban on large-capacity magazine clips.

Under California law, the manufacture, sale or exchange of large-capacity ammunition magazines of more than 10 rounds is prohibited.

“We believe this ordinance supports Councilmember Krekorian’s interest in getting high-capacity ammunition magazines off our streets,” Trutanich said. “Cities across the country must stand up to America’s gun violence epidemic and do whatever possible to save lives and spare families from the needless tragedy of firearm death and injury.”

California gun rights groups have already signaled they would challenge such an ordinance if passed by the City Council.

Coming from California I'm not at all surprised. One of these days someone with enough clout or money will challenge all these unConstitutional laws the states keep passing. It has to be illegal on some level weather the local governments are allowing it or not.

The bizarre thing is that it's what a majority of the people who live out there want. They continue to give up their rights a piece at a time. The next thing you know they'll outlaw copulation on any day other than Saturday and Wednesday and require the man to wear a codpiece and the woman to wear a silk scarf.

I think ultimately all you'll see is revolvers in some states.
