California officials gathered Monday in Monterey Park and proposed three new laws aimed at preventing more gun violence, three months after a mass shooting in the city killed 11 people and wounded nine at a Lunar New Year dance.
One of the measures would strengthen the process for removing weapons from people who are barred from owning them due to criminal convictions.
The second measure would prevent law enforcement or other government agencies from reselling seized guns and ammunition in the community. "These proposed gun safety bills will limit the rapid proliferation of guns on our streets and keep guns away from those who threaten our safety," DeBerry said.
