The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Sept. 13 voted unanimously to support a motion put forward by Supervisor Janice Hahn and co-authored by Supervisor Hilda Solis to advance a series of gun violence prevention measures in unincorporated Los Angeles County.
The motion approved today directs county counsel to draft ordinances to ban the sale of .50 caliber handguns and .50 caliber ammunition in unincorporated LA County, to implement zoning regulations with a buffer zone between gun and/or ammunition dealers and sensitive areas (e.g., schools, day cares, parks) in unincorporated Los Angeles County, and to prohibit the carrying of firearms on all Los Angeles County property.
The motion also advances amendments to the county code to require gun stores in unincorporated Los Angeles County to implement common sense measures including maintaining a fingerprint log, submitting annual sales reports, maintaining and reporting inventory in real-time, installing and maintaining security cameras, limiting minors’ access, and providing gun purchasers with information about current gun laws.
Finally, the motion directs the county’s legislative advocates to support legislation that would prohibit individuals on the No-Fly List from purchasing or possessing a firearm.
