County officials approved a series of motions to strengthen gun restrictions Tuesday following a series of mass shootings throughout California.
The Board of Supervisors unanimously endorsed a new ordinance they say will strengthen gun regulations by restricting gun sales and possession"We know that blame for the gun violence epidemic lies with the failure of congressional leaders to pass even the most basic federal gun laws," board Chair Janice Hahn, who wrote the motions along with Supervisors Hilda Solis and Lindsey Horvath, said in a statement following the vote.
Another called for the development of an ordinance that would create a 1,000-foot buffer zone between gun stores and"child-sensitive areas" such as schools, . It also requested the drafting of an ordinance that would require all privately-owned firearms locked away, and one that would mandate liability insurance for gun owners.
