I will not sit idly by when there is action that we can take to save lives from this epidemic of gun violence. Yesterday our Board voted to draft new common-sense gun regulations for unincorporated LA County. We have instructed our County lawyers to draft ordinances that would: ➡️ Ban the sale of sale of .50 caliber handguns ➡️ Create buffer zones between gun/ammo stores and places like schools, daycares, and parks ➡️ Implement regulations on guns/ammo dealers, including restricting minors’ presence in the stores ➡️ Prohibit the carrying of firearms on County property These measures are common-sense and under our authority at the County level to implement. For the sake of our communities we must move forward with them. More on @LAist: https://laist.com/news/criminal-justice/supes-will-ban-large-caliber-handguns-in-unincorporated-la-county
