California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a 2016 ballot initiative Thursday that would require background checks for ammunition sales, prohibit possession of large-capacity magazines and close loopholes in California gun laws, thereby curbing gun violence.
Newsom, who was formerly mayor of San Francisco and who plans to run for Governor of California in 2018, stood outside 101 California St. in San Franciscos Financial District this morning to announce a package of common-sense gun control laws.
On July 1, 1993, a deadly shooting took place in a law office on the 43rd floor of the tower known as 101 California, leaving eight people dead and six wounded. The gunman then took his own life.
Out of that tragedy was formed the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which is teaming up with Newsom to draft the initiative that will be filed in the next couple days.

(96,551 posts)3. Common sense is the key word. You are correct, if they go too far it will
not help anyone
However, the NRA is not the same group it was 40 years ago. Today they will oppose anything no matter how reasonable
