DC -
I wish I could tell you the Bill but I am not certain of it. I have seen the number and the Bill, but never memorized it. I have talked with numerous gun shop owners and one of them has a binder on his shelf of all the pending laws. The 10-round limit is said to very likely pass because of the people "we" have voted in. (Davis, Boxer, Feinstein).
It will outlaw the mere possession of "hi-cap" mags in California, even in your home, and even limit the number of rounds you can have on your person. In other words you can only have ONE ten round mag on your person, or two five round mags etc. Even in your own home, if you are wearing your gun, you can only have a total of ten rounds on your person. As you can see, if someone comes in your home and you shoot them, you better only have ten rounds on your person. All hi-cap mags must be turned in or sold out of State.
If I get down to the gun shop, I will look up the Bill number, but the gun shop owners here have told me that they are assuming it will pass. There may be other things tacked on about assault weaposn, but I am unsure. The gun shop owners have nothing to benefit by telling me this, because they are telling me NOT to buy their hi-cap mags, so I don't think it is an exaggeration.
It is a very shocking trampling of our rights, and apparently it is going to go through. I don't think that Californians are going to do a damn thing. Most are weak and brainwashed. Most people that have a spine and want their rights are simply moving out.
