Los Angeles County leaders approved gun control measures that would require firearms be safely stored and new restrictions imposed on gun store owners.

Twice as many likely voters think it’s more important to control gun ownership than it is to protect gun rights, according to a survey released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California.The county is working on zoning restrictions that would enact a 1,000-foot buffer zone between gun stores and “child safety zones,” which Hahn defined in the meeting as places where children gather, such as playgrounds.

Stacey Moseley, a volunteer with the California chapter of Moms Demand Action, said that of everything passed Tuesday, she believed the storage measure would have the largest impact. She said her husband survived an accidental shooting in a home when he was a child. But Steven Lamb, an Altadena resident and former council member, said he found the board’s package — notably the gun safety storage measure — “outrageous.” Lamb, who said he has owned a century-old .22 single shot Remington since he was 7, wanted easy access to his gun.

I’m sure a complete and thorough root cause analysis was performed to ensure law abiding citizens aren’t negatively impact by the measures. You know the criminals not, again the law abiding citizens. You might want to look up how many motor vehicles deaths happens last yr in LA.

Problem solved!

Bravo!

Cue gun fetishists who think improper storage of firearms is their god-given right under the seconamenmunt.
