S.F. committee approves gun-control measures

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors' public safety committee today approved most of a package of gun-control measures introduced by Mayor Gavin Newsom in May.

The committee sent to the full board measures that would require handguns to be kept in a locked container or disabled with a trigger lock; prohibit the possession or sale of firearms or ammunition on property controlled by the city and county; and require that licensed firearms dealers provide an inventory of their firearms to the Police Department every six months.

Some places want only police and criminals to have guns.
