Every time there is a mass shooting, the liberals renew their efforts to disarm those who didn’t do it.

I think some of these brilliant, crime-preventing ideas are already state law in low-crime California.

RE: would require new signage

Thought me oft repeated joke would not re-appear in real life.
Why would anyone heed a sign?

Cartoon of terrorists with automatic weapons reading sign at building entrance: “Darn it. We have to go back.”
Gun Free Zone.

...study the feasibility and legality of implementing a countywide gun registry.

Illegal.

I’m sure all the gangbangers, about 98% of whom have outstanding warrants and/or felony convictions, will wait in line to register their guns.

Horvath and Solis say that the current system for gun tracing is a slow and tedious process and a countywide registry would make it easier for law enforcement officers to track down criminals.

Maybe a reason the tracing is slow might be that most of the crime guns are, um stolen? The genius that emanates from this bunch is truly breathtaking.

In a state with so many illegal g “laws” that there’s almost zero respect for law of any type left there.

Glad I got the hell out of that state some 45 years ago.

Sounds like more harassment of lawful gun owners. Should be a half dozen or so left in LA County. /s

All designed to make firearms ownership bothersome and expensive.

More gun control on the law abiding folks who didn’t commit, nor have ever committed, gun crimes.

Working out so good so far. Keep doing the same stuff that doesn’t work, you dont want to solve the actual problems you just want to disarm unprotected citizens. If you solved the problems you couldn’t have a pretext to push for more gun control laws.

"If passed, the County would require new signage that warns of the dangers of firearms to be displayed at businesses where guns are sold.

Salesman: Do you know that this item is dangerous?

Me: Umm...yeah, that's why I'm buying it.

Illiterate politicians. Only the state of CA can make gun control laws inside the state boundaries. It's call pre-emption. The illiterates are showboating for the press and demonstrating their ignorance to the rest of us who understand the state law.

“a countywide registry would make it easier for law enforcement officers to track down criminals.”

Impossible criminals don’t register their guns. They don’t have to. According to a 1968 Supreme Court ruling, it violates their constitutional protection against self incrimination

As with many other 5th amendment cases, felons and others prohibited from possessing firearms could not be compelled to incriminate themselves through registration.[3][4] The National Firearms Act was amended after Haynes to make it apply only to those who could lawfully possess a firearm. This eliminated prosecution of prohibited persons, such as criminals, and cured the self-incrimination problem.

IF I need to grab a gun in the middle of the night due to a break in-—I cannot protect myself with trigger locks & locked boxes.
