On July 1, in California, if you own a gun magazine that holds one more bullet than 10.......you go to jail...even though you haven't used your gun, or the magazine, to commit a crime. Simple possession of the magazine makes you a criminal and will put you in jail.
Notice...the gun grabbers in California didn't say..."use these magazines in a crime and you go to jail." No. they say just own one and you go to jail. See, the thing is...they don't care about criminals.....they hate guns, and they know the only way to get rid of those magazines is to make law abiding gun owners into criminals...otherwise, they can't touch those magazines...
Why California gun owners may be breaking the law on July 1
Sweeping new gun laws passed last year by California voters and legislators require those with magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition to get rid of them by July 1.
The question is: How many of California’s 6 million-plus gun owners are actually going to comply, even though violators face potential jail time if they’re caught?
Talk to gun owners, retailers and pro-gun sheriffs across California and you’ll get something akin to an eye roll when they’re asked if gun owners are going to voluntarily part with their property because Democratic politicians and voters who favor gun control outnumber them and changed the law.
In conservative, pro-gun Redding this week, Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko joked that gun owners were lining the block to hand their magazines in to the sheriff’s office (In reality, no one has turned one in). He said his deputies won’t be aggressively hunting for large-capacity magazines starting next month.
“We’re not going to be knocking on anybody’s door looking for them,” Bosenko said. “We’re essentially making law-abiding citizens into criminals with this new law.”
