Looks like California gun owners are following Connecticut residents’ lead: simply do not comply with gun laws.
At midnight on Thursday, Sunnyvale, CA began imposing a new law that requires residents with rifle magazines that holds more than 10 rounds of ammunition to dispose of them. But not a single resident has turned in their magazines.
San Francisco residents are also under the same new laws and must surrender their high-capacity magazines to police by April 7.
To defeat tyranny you don’t need and army, you only need non-compliance from its citizens.
SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Enforcement issues surround two Northern California cities’ bans on high-capacity magazines.
The Oakland Tribune (http://tinyurl.com/lvtufr3 ) reported Saturday that since Sunnyvale’s ban went into effect midnight Thursday, not one of the now-illegal magazines has been turned in. San Francisco police report that they have no system to track whether any magazines have been turned in for destruction under the new ordinance. San Francisco residents must surrender their high-capacity magazines to police by April 7.
The two California cities enacted laws similar to several other municipalities banning magazines that hold more 10 bullets in reaction to the 2012 mass-shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The National Rifle Association has filed legal challenges to the bans in Sunnyvale, San Francisco and elsewhere. Judges have so far upheld the bans.
California law has banned the sale of high-capacity magazines since 2000, but it allows owners who possessed the items before 2000 to keep them. Sunnyvale, San Francisco and other cities have gone a step further and made possession of the high-capacity magazines a misdemeanor crime.
High-capacity magazine owners in Sunnyvale can allow the police to destroy the magazines, sell them out of state or to a licensed gun dealer or move them out of town.
Leonard Fyock, a Sunnyvale resident who served as a plaintiff in the NRA-backed lawsuit seeking to halt the city’s ban from going into effect, said he moved his high-capacity magazines out of town even though the legal setback is being appealed.
“I just thought, ‘Well, this doesn’t look good,’ ” he told the Oakland Tribune. “So my high-capacity magazines are already out of town.”
It’s not too late for owners to turn over the high-capacity gun magazines to police, Sunnyvale spokeswoman Jennifer Garnett said.
“Barring any unusual circumstances, we wouldn’t cite people for voluntarily turning in their large-capacity magazines to public safety even though it is legally possible at this time to cite them,” Garnett said.
If ANY state or federal government makes a law that goes against or defies the United States Constitution .. then it is an illegal law & is NULL & VOID .. & ‘we the people’ do not & should not comply!
Agree! Who will protect us from this government? We will end up their slaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like some folks have finally overreached. And now, formerly law abiding citizens aren’t complying. Way to go!
Finally… a law to disarm the crimminal types who plan on visiting a school or crowded mall to shoot innocent people…. I’m really sure all these crimminals will promptly turn in their mags and won’t be able to carry out their evil plots…. our lawmakers are soooo wise. IDIOTS
I didn’t know that Californians had that much sense !!!
I was born and raised in the San Francisco, Bay Area. I joined the military and have been all over our country and overseas during my 20 plus year career. I am now 42 years old, have a wonderful family and have not lived in California for 24 years. I miss my home state while the cost of housing, taxes, bankrupted Capitol, inflated fuel prices, vehicle registration and strict gun laws while corrupt law enforcement infringe upon your rights has sealed the deal. We are moving back to and retiring in the great State of Texas!
LE is not corrpt in california. you use a broad brush to label all. its the legislature is cali that is completely corrupt – they make the laws that cops are forced to enforce…
GO PATRIOTS!
And the Commiecrats are wondering why so many people are fleeing The Peoples Republic of California. All the makers are leaving and only the takers will be left.
Many of us will bury our large-capacity magazines or take them out of state.
I have a brother that lives in los wages that can store mine.
The whole point in not turning them in is to leave the state wondering how many are out there.
If none are turned in the state will always wonder if there laws worked or not.
