An illogical but highly effective plan to further divide us. Only in a state like California, with its endless supply of delusional liberals would this be considered. Get rid of your taxpayer funded armed security first, you hypocrite coward.

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday will introduce a measure for next year’s ballot that aims to stanch the proliferation of gun violence, including a provision to require ammunition buyers to undergo background checks.

Newsom, a Democrat running for governor in 2018, will announce the measure in San Francisco, where he’ll be joined by co-authors from the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, an organization that grew out of the mass shooting at 101 California St. in 1993.

The proposal follows a cascade of shootings around the U.S., including an average 92 gun deaths each day and four dozen school shootings this year. A renewed assault weapons ban, background checks and other suggested laws regulating the sale, possession and use of firearms have failed to garner support from Congress, which is under pressure from the powerful National Rifle Association and other gun lobbying groups formed to protect the Second Amendment.

California has among the nation’s toughest gun restrictions, including a 1999 ban on assault weapons such as the AK-47 and importation, manufacture and sale of large-capacity ammunition magazines. However, several more recent planned laws in the wake of the deadly 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., faltered in the state’s Democratic-run Legislature, or have been vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat with a mixed record on firearms.

“In the last 72 hours – 68 people have been killed and 129 people have been injured due to gun violence in America,” Newsom wrote online Wednesday.

His measure, which requires nearly 366,000 signatures to qualify for next year’s ballot, incorporates provisions of bills that stalled at the state Capitol. It would ban the possession of large-capacity magazines – more than 10 rounds – and require anyone who currently has them to sell to a licensed firearm dealer, transfer them out of state or relinquish them to law enforcement to be disposed of.

The pending measure also would force those selling ammunition to be licensed like firearm dealers and require the purchasers to go through a background check. It would establish a process to recover guns from people prohibited from owning them because of their criminal record; mandate individuals whose guns were lost or stolen to report to law enforcement; and compel the state Department of Justice to notify the federal government when someone is added to the database of people barred from buying or owning a firearm.
