PROVIDENCE — Gun owners across Rhode Island have turned in more than 300 large-capacity gun magazines, after a new state law banning them took effect Sunday.All but seven police departments reported that people had relinquished gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, to be held for safekeeping by police, as a lawsuit trying to overturn the law winds its way through US District Court. Even in the self-designated 'Second Amendment Sanctuary Towns,' residents turned over their now-illegal gun magazines.
