The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to ban the possession of firearm magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

Mayor Eric Garcetti has already said he would sign the ordinance, which according to the council, will close a loophole in state law already banning the sale and manufacture of such magazines.

Anyone who owns the magazines will have 60 days to remove them from the city or turn them over to the Los Angeles Police Department for destruction, transfer or sale. Supporters of the measure believe it will help law enforcement officials prevent mass shootings in the city.

This won’t prevent a single shooting.

[Not now, Not ever!]

Los Angeles, The cancer that is destroying Southern California.

It’s okay if you’re a newsie showing it on TV.

There will, no doubt, be a flood of larger-capacity magazines turned in by the honest citizens of the City of Angels.

If the Former Twelfth Lady becomes President it's likely that we will see,thanks to her SCOTUS appointments,the end of the Second Amendment.

And the First,of course.

When the earthquake comes, I am not sending a single dollar to the Red Cross for ‘em.

Think the title is wrong.

Now if it said 11-round magazines....

So, they went the way of Canada, apparently.

[Jim Robinson]

The only time you need 11 rounds is after you’ve already fired 10 and your murderer is still coming.

[thackney]

It will prevent some return fire from law abiding citizens.

What part of “criminal” does California not understand? the bad guys already don’t follow the law, morons! You know what effect this will have on gun violence? absolutely none. Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

Fortunately, we can all take solace in the fact that all criminals are now planning to turn in all magazines in excess of 10 rounds. /s

[Not now, Not ever!]

The Rodney King riots of ‘92 proved that, ask any Korean store owner.

When the earthquake comes, I am not sending a single dollar to the Red Cross for ‘em.

When the earthquake comes, I will be on the border hopping up and down on the last piece of ground holding CA to the rest of the USA.

So exactly how many deaths did New York’s maximum of 5 rounds/magazine save? Bet it was zero.

[EXCH54FE]

I hear that MS-13 is sending out thank you letters to all the dumb ass’s that voted for this BS.

Now the Gangs are pushing for more “Gun Free” shops to hit.

If the Gangs can get rid of all the CC permits, life would be good. Just like back home!!!!

[strings6459]

“Tax and Ban” is all governments do any more.

[Rodentking]

We do not need magazines in excess of ten rounds to protect ourselves from criminals, but police, of course, do need those same magazines to protect themselves, that is clear. Any idea how that logic came about?

Another insanity from the National Socialists.

If you have a legal 15 rnd mag, can you drive thru LA with it?

Wow—crime should stop by this weekend! /s
