The City of Sacramento is preparing to initiate some
local ordnances which are theoretically designed to reduce "gun
violence" without being able to say exactly what "gun violence" is.
(Personally I am unaware of a gun ever committing an act of violence
since they were invented.)
These
new proposals are modeled after some initiated in the city of San
Jose. They don't bother to tell the people that the San Jose ordnances
have never been implemented due to various legal and technical
challenges.
One of those
proposals is a mandatory liability insurance by gun owners. The fact
that this sort of thing is not available in the marketplace is an
issue. Also requiring insurance for a constitutional right has some
issues attached. They are also trying to implement a $25 per year per
gun "harm reduction fee." Same issues with this notion. Another one is
to prohibit any person under 18 from entering a gun store. A further
ordnance would shut down residence based firearms businesses that
currently exist.
The city
council legislation committee has unanimously approved ALL of these
proposals. They will be considered at the next city council meeting.

Texas sells ammo from vending machines. 18 to buy a long gun and 21 to buy a pistol. That sh*t in Sacramento will never be enforced.
