Huey entered a plea bargain for a misdemeanor charge of bringing an ammunition magazine able to hold more than 10 rounds into California. He was sentenced to four days in jail, ordered to pay fines and perform community service, court records show.

Though the law requires residents who buy guns and ammunition out of state to have the items delivered to a licensed gun dealer in California and undergo a background check, Becerra said the best solution is for Congress to act on tougher national gun regulations.

“We can’t enforce California laws in Nevada, but if there were a national law that restricted purchase or transportation of assault-style weapons, then the FBI and [Drug Enforcement Administration] and other federal agencies wouldn’t have to wait to start investigating, as in Gilroy, after people have died and been injured,” Becerra said. “It’s unfortunate that our federal leaders have been AWOL in taking action.”

The country went through the same thing back in the 1920s only then it was booze not high capacity magazines. It didn’t work then it not working now. Human nature wing what it is, by prohibiting them it made people want them even more.
