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.
The gov’t wants to take your weapons in the name of “Public Safety”. The truth is and most people do not want to believe it. How do you conquer a nation? You disarm its people… It’s all about the politicians and their goonies attempting to conquer and control us. What can you do about it? Refuse to comply, start gathering your friends, then bring more people into the circle and more, before you know it entire towns including the police officers will all be on the same track in refusing to carry out these unlawful Laws. The key to all this is going to come down to which side your local police department supports. They are the last line of defense. If that falls through, there is really no where else to go but a revolution. No one wants to see that…
Too many people think California is all LA. It isn’t remember we have the Sierra Nevada’s and we are dug in like an Alabama tick. GL DHS you’re gonna need it if you think you’re going to disarm this nation.
i figure if obama can pick and choose the laws he and his attorney general will enforce I choose to ignore some of his.
$#%&!@* the gun-grabbers. Make it known that you will NEVER comply, and do so in large numbers. Inform the $#%&!@*sticks that they are not up to the suffering that will be inflicted upon any LEO that decides to try to enforce such bull$#%&!@*, and that they, by their actions, are not in any way different from the idiot who dares to knock down a door. The politicians are targets just like the home invaders.
You never know, this just may be the straw that broke the camel’s back, or should I say, the actions that will finally drive honest law abiding citizens to refuse to obey “illegal laws” and then be classified as criminals. It is clear that those who insist on taking Americans guns just might be getting themselves in trouble. Americans will not allow socialist communist politicians to take their guns, you can bet on it.
Stand your ground….
They Should not Comply, How many round magazine you have is your Business and no one else’s !!
stand your ground soldiers
Read, know and embrace the United States Constitution. The fathers of our country where very smart men and the Constitution was very well thought out. We have rights, we have freedom, “WE ARE THE PEOPLE”. If “We The People” don’t stand up for our Constitution and Bill of Rights then people in power don’t care, they will just continue to defecate on our freedoms and rights all while laughing at us stupid brain washed idiots for allowing them to have the power over the people. Really it is “We The People” who should have the power over them. From the President all the way down to the police (law enforcers), they are all public servants of “The People” and they have all (to my knowledge) taken an oath to uphold the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. Most of them have violated their oath. Sad. Gun owners, keep your guns, keep your rights. It is time we stop letting our right be taken away from us.
I think we will sooner or later have to just stop them from even uttering a single word …. Sick -n – tired of the tyranny ….
