Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Hilda Solis have proposed a motion that would direct the County’s legal counsel to study the feasibility and legality of implementing a countywide gun registry.
The registry would be created in partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and would use existing data and records to create a database that is “easily accessible for law enforcement first responders.”
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.
Even if the Board of Supervisors agrees to move forward with the proposal, a countywide registry would not be immediately implemented and it would likely face many legal challenges.
Additionally, the motion directs Los Angeles County to look into the possibility of requiring gun owners in the county to carry some form of liability insurance for their firearms.
The hope, according to the motion language, is that the insurance requirement will encourage firearm owners to “take safety classes, use gun safes, install trigger locks, or utilize chamber-load indicators.”
While those two proposals are quite ambitious and abstract at the current juncture, there are two additional items that appear likely to move forward with some immediacy.
If passed, the County would require new signage that warns of the dangers of firearms to be displayed at businesses where guns are sold.
Additionally, a requirement could be instituted that would require firearms at a gun owner’s home be securely stored in a locked container or disabled with a trigger lock.

Such as? How many gun laws does CA have already on the books?
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.
Illegal.

Yes, this will make a suburban husband and wife tucking their two children into bed and watching TV before going to bed think twice about spraying gunfire into a crowd./S
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.
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.
“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.”
They are home scot-free, because the constitution says they don’t have to, as it would be self-incrimination.
Sounds like more harassment of lawful gun owners. Should be a half dozen or so left in LA County. /s
Ha.
Family can cower in safety-——unless a Chinese balloon with a 2,000 pound payload falls on them from above.
Yeah, that’ll work.
They believe in windmills, solar energy, and socialism, too.
Gotta keep an eye on those sneaky balloons. ;-)
All designed to make firearms ownership bothersome and expensive.
I’m sure all the gangbangers... will wait in line to register their guns.
So, and elderly g—k goes ape crap, and white people have to give up their guns?
Glad I no longer live in The People’s Republic of Californi-cated.
