The Palm Springs City Council passed a contentious gun control ordinance Wednesday, adding three new provisions to the city firearms code and potentially drawing a lawsuit from the National Rifle Association.

These measures will take effect in 30 days:

Lost or stolen guns will have to be reported to the police within 48 hours of when they are discovered missing or when the owner “reasonably should have known” they were missing; Guns and ammunition left in an unattended vehicle must be kept in a trunk or locked container; At home, people will have to store firearms in a locked container or disable the triggers with a trigger lock when a gun is not in the owner’s immediate possession.

Violators could be fined up to $1,000 per offense.

The NRA plans to sue.

1. All positive steps,

and none of them violate the NRA's apologists' precious Second Amendment "rights."
