Los Angeles Times– The Board of Supervisors is expected to vote Tuesday on a motion that aims to impose stricter gun control laws in unincorporated parts of Los Angeles County.
The proposal, authored by Supervisors Sheila Kuehl and Mark Ridley-Thomas, asks the county’s legal team to analyze the feasibility of ordinances that would ban .50-caliber handguns and impose additional restrictions on the sale of firearms to people younger than 21.
It also asks the legal team to analyze challenges that might arise from ordinances that toughen safe storage requirements and impose zoning regulations preventing gun vendors from selling firearms near schools and daycare centers.
