If you’re coming to San Francisco, forget the flowers in your hair, bring a lawyer instead.
The measure….expands San Francisco’s existing ban on sales of large-capacity gun magazines. Effective on Dec. 8, it gives owners of those magazines 90 days to turn them over to police. Law enforcement officers and armored-car personnel are exempt.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that law-abiding Americans have a constitutional right to possess handguns in their home for self-defense. In the lawsuit filed in federal court in San Francisco, NRA lawyers argued that weapons holding more than 10 cartridges are in the same category.
“These magazines are typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, including in-home self-defense,” said the suit, filed on behalf of the San Francisco Veteran Police Officers Association and four individual gun owners, led by a retired police officer.
“Limiting magazine capacity for law-abiding citizens to 10 rounds decreases public safety by giving violent criminals an advantage and thus decreasing the likelihood that a victim will survive a criminal attack,” the suit said.
