Any device capable of holding more than ten rounds must be surrendered, there is no grandfathering.
Its really sad to see that an area with such strict gun control has not been the subject of more high profile studies in regard to the long term effects in regard to crime rate. I would wager that of all violent crime committed in the county, less than 20% involves rifles, and even fewer involve weapons legally obtained through a standard purchase involving a background check.
Though its only been in effect a short time, it would also be interesting to see the contrast in effect that the Florida self defense law has had in reducing crime. That statistic though, would need to be accompanied by the amount of shootings ruled to be valid and legal invocations of the person's right to self defense.
I remember reading about a county (?) that dedicated a large amount of man power to simply arresting anyone with outstanding warrants, and the dramatic effect that immediately had on the crime rate. Perhaps it was in DamnYankee's police blotter thread? Does any remember, or have links to articles talking about that. That, in my opinion, would make much better use of State Police man power, opposed to being ticket machines and highway baby sitters.
