WHEREAS, the Rosemead City Council has stated its concern about
the proliferation of violence involving the use of automatic and
semiautomatic assault weapons; and
WHEREAS, current controls on.the manufacture and sale of
automatic weapons are essentially non-existent, thus resulting in a
situation wherein persons convicted of crimes previously, mentally
disturbed persons, and members of illegal gangs are able to purchase
such weapons with little or no intervention; and
WHEREAS, the use of automatic weapons has been linked to heinous
crimes in Los Angeles, Stockton, and other areas of California; and
'WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the Rosemead City Council that the
provisions of SB 292 (Roberti) will assist in combatting the use of
automatic weapons by criminals; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Rosemead City Council to support
the spirit of SB 292 with the stipulation that it does not support
the concept of a permanent Assault Weapon Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Rosemead City Council
supports SB 292 (Roberti) as a viable method of combatting the
widespread use of automatic weapons in crimes against the citizens of
California.
