That's a very tiny step forward.

Tiny to b e sure but it's a step nevertheless and may inspire other legislatures to bolder action.

Just a feel good measure.

Depends, mebbe more if the NRA forces a ruling from the courts and they side with the city. Then it's a precedent.

Stupid ban.

Accomplishes nothing except to piss gun owners off.

Why not, since most gun owners are pissing people off and are basically stooges for the NRA. Par for the course. Keep them busy fighting in courts and that will keep the issues in the limelight.

By the way, LA or for that matter California has no shortage of lawyers.

.... in and of itself, a worthwhile outcome.

So.... These large capacity magazines.... Is this what is used in automatic weapons?

Would someone mind educating me a bit in this?
Thanks, in advance.

"Large capacity, rapid fire" defines tactical weaponry, which has no practical civilian use outside of urban warfare.

I still say it's stupid.

Take the full sized H&K USP .40.

The gun is designed for a 13 round magazine.

So when the federal ban was in it was sold with 10 round magazines, which were simply the 13 rounders with a spacer in the bottom and a shorter spring.

That was my sons personal handgun and it pissed him off to no end that he couldn't get the 13 round magazines that the gun was designed for. It was the principal of the thing. He said it was like driving around in a car with the doughnut spare on one wheel. It's just wrong. He stocked up on the 13 rounders when the ban was taken off.

I agree with him. I have two revolvers. My snub nosed .38 is a five shot. And my full sized .357 is a six shot. I'm fine with the snubbie being a five shot because that the way it's designed. But if one of the chambers of my six shooter were plugged because some gun grabbing libtard said it had to be I would be pissed as Hell.
