The ban is not only on Black Talons; but any product sold to military or law enforcement only, or something ballistically identical.

And read the last part of the ordinance, which is particularly disturbing... It sas SFPD will maintain a database of what they decide is "prohibited ammunition" but that the failure to maintain that database or the failure to not list a type of ammo in it, is not a defense to prosecution.

Essentially, they are saying that even if they don't list the ammo as prohibited in their database, they can still convict you. Sounds to me like the city of San Francisco is ready to paysome more gun attorneys money.
