Los Angeles County officials are considering toughening local gun regulations, including a possible requirement for gun owners to buy insurance.
The supervisors voted Tuesday to ask county lawyers, public safety and mental health officials to report back on proposed gun control measures along with other options to "further prevent violence and improve safety in the workplace and public settings."
As part of that request, they asked for an analysis of ways to "adopt stricter gun control restrictions and penalties," including further background checks, a potential local tax on guns and ammunition, and an insurance requirement for gun owners.
