Ammunition Curbs in California City Allowed by High Court

A U.S. Supreme Court justice refused to block a new law that bars the possession of high-capacity ammunition magazines in a Silicon Valley city, in a setback to gun-rights advocates.
Justice Anthony Kennedy yesterday let the Sunnyvale, California, law remain in effect while a constitutional challenge by residents goes forward. The law, which took effect March 6 after being adopted by city voters, makes it a crime to possess feeding devices with the ability to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
