A slew of gun ordinances are up for a vote at tomorrow's city council meeting. They're touted as ways to help disarm gangs, but as anything goes with restricting the use of guns, groups such as the National Riffle Association (NRA), the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA), the California Association of Firearm Retailers (CAFR), and other interest groups have threatened to bring forth litigation, which Mayor Villaraigosa vows to fight.
Among the laws under consideration tomorrow, two of them would hit alleged gang members at home and in their cars. One would allow the city to seize vehicles used in gang-related crimes; another would allow landlords to evict tenants using or possessing illegal weapons and ammunition.

Why isn't the confiscation of vehicles and property being performed when gang related crimes are present?
Don't be shy. Do you want to end the violence or merely talk about it.
Isn't it time for "serious, responsible" folks to address this issue?
Looking forward to hearing great advances with your new mentality.
:)
The first one seems like a no-brainer. I thought the LAPD already did that.
The second one: Good in theory, but man, it's going to be abused. :(
Who wants to be the landlord who walks up to an apartment door and informs the drug dealer/gang member/tenant that he is evicting him for possessing illegal weapons or ammo?
Yeah.... that's a great idea. Better up that life insurance, landlords. And get your affairs in order.
