Council tackles home-gun dealers

Attending the Long Beach City Council meetingwas an eye-opening experience.

I watched the members pass a measure regarding guns in Long Beach.  

One of the members proposed a measure that would ban federally licensed dealers to sell firearms from their homes, require these dealers to attain a million-dollar liability insurance to "protect" the  city. 

If this is how the council deals with serious issues, I would hate to see how they might act on less important items.

I hope that gun control lobbyists will realize the negative effects of their legislation and begin to focus on real solutions to the problems in our society.
