Do you think Kalifornians will turn in their High cap mags?
If the ban stays in place do you think most Kalifornians will turn in or sell out of state their high cap mags? I think there was also a provision to make them 10 rounds. I wonder if you can put in a block. If so it could be removed later. If I lived there I would hide well my high cap mags.
Where exactly is *Kalifornia*? I've never heard of that place however if you do not live in California does it really matter since it has impact on your life?

Just to be clear we are discussing laws and not politics here of course.
My answer to your question is - from what I have read - Of course not. No one will be turning in or destroying high capacity magazines, the law will be ignored outright. Reading the Calguns forum they are treating the law as a joke - group efforts to send back issues of Guns and Ammo Magazines to the office of Kalifornistan Governor Jerry Brown on July 1st. The state will get magazines turned in all right, just not what they expected.
Many of the states rural County Sheriffs' are refusing to enforce this law.

I just saw a video on how you can glue in a pen shaft, empty into a pmag to make it legal. You can pull it out later if you want. I bought some old colt mags years ago and they had bent band strapping bent in a U shape to make them legal for hunting. I just removed them and wallah 20 and 30 rounds again.
A federal judge on Thursday blocked a California law set to take effect Saturday that would have barred gun owners from possessing high-capacity ammunition magazines.
The judge ruled that the ban approved by the Legislature last year takes away gun owners' Second Amendment rights and amounts to the government taking people's private property without compensation.
The judge said he was mindful of voters' approval and government's legitimate interest in protecting the public but added that the "Constitution is a shield from the tyranny of the majority."
I don't understand the allure of the hi cap mags. I much prefer the 10 round mag in my AR.
I do own 2 30 round pmags.
I can't afford to fill 2 hi cap mags.
OH!
Then you must have missed the one day sale last week where they were selling Federal .223 at 1000 rounds at $299.
Pity.........as it was, I missed that sale, too!
Now, let's talk practicality for a moment of the hi cap magazines and the .223 round. Say you are out hunting and you get lost. Let's complicate the issue a little bit more and say you break one of the arm bones.
Which would you rather have at that moment, a couple of pre loaded 30 round magazines on you or the 10 round magazine that you have to reload from a box?
A, B, and C.
A: If you are going to be out in the wild, plan a little ahead for the just in case. Such as carrying water and rations in case you don't make it back to your camp as you planned. Such as carrying extra ammo in case you need to fire off distress signals.
B: Don't shoot yourself in the foot for the AR-15 rifle is an excellent compartminized system......if it's not limited.
C: We are talking about the -15 here, mind you. Carrying a few 20 round magazines for the -10 is heavy as heck!

High capacity magazines have been around for decades. Many have come standard with a lot of commonly owned semi auto rifles and pistols. There really is no allure about them. It's only been during the last decade or so that there has been a concerted effort to ban them. Some states have succeeded, most others have not, I thank God for that.
I don't know? If you can't afford 60 rounds then maybe owning a gun might not be for you. As it takes many more rounds than that to become proficient with any type of firearm. Not only that how in the world could you afford to buy an AR in the first place? Why not just a single shot rifle if that's all you can afford to shoot. Hell, if you go out shooting one round a month that should last you 60 months or 5 years.
You may prefer 10 round mags, but others may not and for whatever reason. Its not up to you to make that decision for others. Or for me to tell you what you can or can't own.

If you could afford to live in California, you could.
As for me, if I were lucky enough to possess any 30 rd mags, no way I'd turn them in.
