I was listening to NPR and caught a tail end of a story about High Cap. Mags in L.A. Are the liars finally trying to over turn the 10 round magazine crap?

Problem for them is that CA reserves gun control laws to state level. Cities and counties can't enact their own gun control laws.
Too old to live...too young to die...
City wants to ban possession of over 10 round mags. Already illegal in state to import, buy or sell, but if you had any before 1989 law you could keep them. L.A. wants to make the illegal, period.
That should do it.
Now I'll be able to travel to LA without having to worry about crime and violence.
Oh so they're trying to grandfather them in. Seems like the effort could be focused somewhere else. Like making illegals illegal again instead of undoccumented citizens.
Los Angeles is a Sanctuary City. Right now, the only people who can own 11+ round magazines without being prosecuted are the illegals.

It's in California. Does it really matter what they do? If they don't care about their state why should we?
Yeah, really, Calif is only second to Texas in the number of gun owners, and there ain't one of us that gives a slime.
We didn't care about steel shot, now you have it too. We didn't care about 922r compliance, now you have that too. We didn't care about lead free bullets either, now all the lead producers are shut down.
High Cap mags? Ask New Yorkers how that's working out for them now.
You see Smitty, that's just a sample of what the socialist scum originated here. Since they have a stranglehold on this state through the corruption and unions, Calif gets used as the test bed for the anti gun incrementalist laws. Once they have all the legal bugs worked out, it comes to your state. That's why you should care.
Benjamin Franklin said, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately".
If you don't care, I guess we'll all hang separately.

So how are they gonna deal with them 10/30 round magazines? Most just needs a spring swap and they're 30 rounders. I guess I'll see how folks will be stocking up on magazines at the gunshow at the Cow Palace in August. Hey that's kind a smack dab in the middle for San Fran & Sunnyvale [:D].
LOS ANGELES (KABC) --
The Los Angeles City Council unanimously voted to ban the sale of high-capacity ammunition magazines Tuesday.
Dozens of residents attended the meeting to urge city leaders to support the ban. The proposal was sponsored by Councilmember Paul Krekorian.
"People who want to defend their homes, people who want to defend their families don't need a 100-round drum magazine and an automatic weapon to do it," he said.
He said the recent high-profile shootings with firearms that use high-capacity magazines have resulted in multiple deaths.
However, some critics say the ordinance won't allow the magazines to be used at legal events such as sports competitions. Other critics believe it won't deter criminals from getting weapons.
Krekorian expects there will be legal challenges on the ban. Gun rights groups have already threatened to sue the city, stating the ban violates the Second Amendment.
Mayor Eric Garcetti is expected to sign the ordinance, which will then take 30 days to go into effect. Anyone who owns those magazines will have a 60-day grace period to legally sell, surrender or remove the items out of the city.
