They squashed it recently, to avoid a costly lawsuit which would have squashed it anyway.



LA's ban on possession of magazines over 10-rounds was also near being squashed, when the state adopted its own; however, once the State adopted it, there was a provision it must be squelched, and it was; then surprise, surprise, the State's enforcement of its possession ban got an injunction against it (awaiting review) and the City of LA can do nothing about that.



. Well, no, and sort of no. They can pass laws within their cities that run parallel to business ordinance, such as restricting sales of an item within their city, where a guns store may open (or not) or use of an item, or impotently address "nuisance" misdemeanors which carry little weight, but their laws on banning possession of a legal to own item in conflict with State law has been repeatedly found unenforceable and illegal.Los Angeles by example, banned the sales of ultra-compact handguns within its city limits, but could not ban ownership; that had been around since 2001 (Mike Feuer, when City Council) however that was recently forced to be overturned when revealed their little pointless ordinance ran against the State's Roster protocol for handguns regulating those same guns, regardless of safe, whereby if on the Roster, they were safe; showing no just cause to retain that ordinance.They squashed it recently, to avoid a costly lawsuit which would have squashed it anyway.LA's ban on possession of magazines over 10-rounds was also near being squashed, when the state adopted its own; however, once the State adopted it, there was a provision it must be squelched, and it was; then surprise, surprise, the State's enforcement of its possession ban got an injunction against it (awaiting review) and the City of LA can do nothing about that.
