City council condemns gun violence, assault weapons

The Morgan Hill City Council last week adopted a resolution condemning gun violence.  The resolution commits the city to “advocate for state and federal bans on both military style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, stronger background checks for all gun and ammunition purchases, revoking the prohibition on federally funded research on gun-related deaths, and rescinding the gun industry’s immunity.

The resolution also states that the council will consider local actions to regulate gun and ammunition sales in the City of Morgan Hill.
