high capacity magazines

From the San Francisco Chronicle, “For one week, high-capacity ammunition magazines were legal in California. Hundreds of thousands may have been sold.”

A ban on the sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds has been a linchpin of California’s efforts to prevent mass shootings for nearly two decades.

But in the span of a single week after a federal judge temporarily set aside the prohibition, hundreds of thousands of the devices, if not millions, made their way into the hands of state residents, industry leaders say.
