SACRAMENTO (Worthy News)– California has banned the sale of single-shot handguns that can be altered into semi-automatic weapons, handing a modest victory to proponents of tougher gun laws while striving to protect antique collectors, Reuters reported.
The new rules ere signed into law on Friday by Governor Jerry Brown.
