It would be interesting to find out what the
shysters will charge for this one....
Contra Costa supervisors take step to ban big gun
Associated Press
Martinez - Contra Costa County supervisors have taken the first step toward banning the sale of fifty-caliber rifles in unincorporated areas.
The board voted unanimously yesterday to have county attorneys draft an ordinance. The board will look in October at the proposed ordinance -- which will be based on a law approved by the Los Angeles City Council earlier this year.
Supervisors say the law is needed to help protect the county's refineries and chemical plants from terror attacks. They say the rifles could turn refinery storage tanks into huge fireballs.
Supervisor John Gioia conceded that a county ban on the weapon couldn't eliminate the threat of terrorism, since the guns are available from gun stores across the state and the nation.Gun advocates at the meeting said the board was exaggerating the threat posed by the weapons to further a gun-control agenda.
National Rifle Association volunteer Mike Haas told the panel the rifles pose no real threat to refineries -- and said law enforcement officials would support him on that point.
