A new gun store is causing an uproar in Burbank, but a weekend protest didn't stop a long line of customers from showing up for the grand opening.
The legislation will toughen background checks for the youngest gun buyers, keep firearms from more domestic violence offenders and help states put in place red flag laws.
Kat Fisher says her daughter is terrified to walk past the gun store to Roosevelt Elementary School nearby. "For responsible gun owners, if you want a handgun for safety I'm okay with that. I'm not trying to take that right away," Fisher said."We don't need AR-15s. You're not going to hunt a deer. You're going to destroy the meat. I feel that there's too many gun stores out here."
"There needs to be background checks, we need to have regulations in place," Fisher said."We need to tax people that are buying these weapons.""We help support and supply law enforcement and security personnel with the equipment they need to perform their duties. We provide the public with a means to protect their family and enjoy shooting sports.""You can't defend yourself in a stressful situation.
