Councilman Paul Krekorian pushed for the ban aimed at addressing a loophole in a California state law that prohibits the sale, manufacture and importing — but not the possession — of such magazines.
“It’s important that this council act today to prohibit the possession of large-capacity magazines, which our state legislature said 15 years ago were so dangerous that we shouldn’t be able to sell, manufacture or import them,” Krekorian said. “Once and for all, after 15 years, let’s close this loophole.”
Magazines kill.
