Text of what I posted on the local councilman's facebook page.
Interesting new and worthless law. The state already bans 10 round magazines. But, I don't care, because I don't live in L.A. City. I live in L.A. County. But here's the rub. Anyone legally possessing a higher capacity magazine can't enter the city without committing a crime. Does this cover the freeways that pass through the city? Now my particular case is very interesting. If I walk across the street and step up on the sidewalk to put the state legal magazine into the passenger side of my vehicle, I have now committed a crime. Seriously, did anyone think about this legislation, or was it simply a knee jerk reaction that will only succeed in costing the city a small fortune in legal fees when they are taken to court. This should get a rise out of him, he's a former police officer. |

In the long run, these ordinances are really designed to harass the legal gunowner.
Didn't the decision on making the 10 day waiting period unconstitutional for known gun-owners unconstitutional some what speak to this. That the burden on the Second Amendment needs to be minimal, and an ordinance won't meet that test, I hope, just in the city. That it makes legal travel for gun-owners, with or without permits (etc etc etc), through the city a legal hazard, is really an unjustifiable burden and will never fly. |
