The Redwood City Council on Tuesday approved an emergency ordinance temporarily banning retail establishments from selling firearms or ammunition in the city.
Growing community concern has led the federal government, the state of California and several local jurisdictions to consider additional options to mitigate gun violence.
As City Hall has directed staff to conduct community engagement and research potential local regulations on firearms retailers, the moratorium on retail establishments selling firearms or ammunition will be in effect while this research and engagement is conducted.
