I hate to say it but at this point, I have no more sympathy for anyone who still resides in CA voluntarily. The state has gotten dumber and dumber over the past 30 years; the bad part is that it has taken the country with it.

[Great-Kazoo]

How their mentality works, is beyond understanding. Especially since 1994, a 10 round mag limit has been the law in CA.

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah, they ban "hi-cap" magazines here in Idaho, too. Oh, wait... No, they don't! I can buy whatever I want.

[HoneyBadger]

Meh. You reap what you sow.

[theGinsue]

Whew. I've been hoping that this would happen for a long time. Now all of those criminals and gang bangers will voluntarily turn in all of those illegal magazines to make us all so much safer. Or, NOT!

Idiots.

[brutal]

A common thread in mass shootings is also a crazy MF. Ban those assholes.

A common thread in all vehicular deaths is the size of the gas tank. How about those 24" spinners? Ban all those big fuckers too they scare me.

[wctriumph]

Well, I guess they're right. No law abiding free citizen needs an automatic weapon and a 100 round drum to defend their families and property from the gangsters now that this will become law. Right? I mean, this new ordinance will make all law abiding citizens so much safer. The insane will not commit mass shootings because the law abiding free citizen will turn in all of there greater than 10 round magazines therefore preventing the gangster element from being able to steal the high capacity magazines that they would use to kill school children or others in the gun free safety zones. Right?

Makes perfect sense to someone. I guess.

Not me.

I agree.

And then I realize someday someone might be saying that about us here in CO. We too are living under a limit and when Libtard policies fail, they demand even more, because dammit they have to be right.

What is to stop Rapsheet Rhonda from proposing a 10 round limit because she lost her little angel (who freely associated with gang bangers)? What is to stop Denver/Boulder from making anyone a felon who disobeys?

Exactly. California is our future, like it or not. Don't always count on LE not enforcing gun control laws they don't agree with. I imagine that will only last 5, maybe 10, years until a new crop of sheriffs take the reigns through out the state. Then enforcement and restrictions will become progressively stricter. Have an exit strategy for your currently grandfathered standard capacity mags. There's no guarantee they'll stay grandfathered. All gun control laws, no matter how small and stupid, are always a vital part of a long term strategy to take us to a legal magazine capacity of ZERO.

Beyond gun control laws, the watch phrase during the next 4 elections should be "No more Californias!". Openly ridicule anyone who votes for a California-style liberal. The Socialists are trying to brainwash the next generation into thinking EVERYONE agrees with them. I realize sober-minded individuals and Constitutionalists in Denver find themselves in a minority but they have got to fight back loudly and openly and point to California, its water crisis, and ongoing budget crises as a reason to vote against Rap Sheet Rhonda and her ilk.

[02ducky]

You guys are missing the whole point of CA doing this, CA is a much safer state now and they did it for the kids. Bunch of insensitive jerks on this forum. Saracsim....

I am sure the gang members have all lined up to turn in thier "high cap" mags.

[HoneyBadger]

[hahhah-no]

[Great-Kazoo]

It's a political ploy from someone running for office, SURPRISE. Unfortunately the fukyness of this way of thinking had poisoned the water supply years ago.

Death by 1000 cuts has us hemorrhaging, rather rapidly.

I'm seeing this more as a Chicago situation. Another place we can point to and say "these laws don't work."

As a former area resident I already know how little of a difference this will make in the number of evil magazines. It will likely be one of those things that gets passed, annoys all the shooters for a while, and is then forgotten. After working at a range there for a year and even taking up 3-gun in that place I know the bulk of the community can get through it. Don't worry too much about them.

This can go either way though. If it doesnt work, the rationale could be that the laws need to be MORE restrictive.

Next up - an outright ban in LA

[BladesNBarrels]

In the 80's, there was a bumper sticker:
"Don't Californicate Colorado"
Should be revived.

[Rucker61]

It also violates California state law, which is what those opposed will use to hopefully block it.

[BlasterBob]

Well, it is certainly NOT my choice but we are going to be moving back to "wonderful" state of Illinois within the next six weeks. They have some wacky/goofy/crappy/stupid firearms laws there too but so far I will still be able buy high capacity magazines. Probably, with my luck, Illinois will come up with a magazine ban of anything over 5 rounds or perhaps just ban ALL firearms magazines...... [Sarcasm2]

[Circuits]

or perhaps just ban ALL firearms magazines......
Ah... the "Barney Fife" school of gun control.

Well, I doubt anyone's going to turn anything in. The other options, as stated in the article are "remove, sell or transfer" out of LA. Note that this is an LA City ordinance, does not apply to CA as a whole.

Not saying I like the law, I don't, but as laws go this one is pretty innocuous. Honestly I'm surprised there are any law abiding gun owners left in LA but if there are, all they need to do is store the magazines with a friend or rent a storage locker outside the city limits.

Kind of like what I did when I was stationed at Army posts in CONUS. I lived in the barracks and per Army regs all firearms and ammo had to be stored in the arms room - IFthey were brought on post, that is. So, my first stop when traveling to a new duty station was to a self-storage place off post. Guns and ammo would go in there and then when I was asked "did you bring any firearms or ammo with you to your new duty station" I could honestly answer that no, I did not. ;)

Again, I agree it's a stupid, toothless law that serves no purpose but the way it's written it's pretty easy to get around.

I wonder if all of those private security providers employed by the rich and famous will be exempt from this law. [Flower]

Of course. "Lex Bovis, Non Jovis" = "The law is for cattle, not for the Gods."
