July 28-- LOS ANGELES-Defying the warnings of gun rights groups, the Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to ban the possession of firearm magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds.
Backers of the plan said it would help minimize the bloodshed of mass shootings by forcing attackers to interrupt their rampages to stop and reload.
Juliet Leftwich, legal director for the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, called such magazines "the common thread" in almost all of the mass shootings that have devastated the country, from Newtown to Virginia Tech to Columbine.

I'm sure it will be a court fight, but at least LA is trying.

It is a small step, but one in the right direction.
