Why This Vote Matters
Richmond's city council unanimously endorsed the Safety for All Act, a 2016 California ballot measure that would require background checks for ammunition purchases and ban high-capacity magazines. The resolution joins Richmond with other cities formally supporting the statewide gun safety initiative. This is a symbolic measure that expresses the city's position but doesn't change any local laws or cost taxpayers money. All seven council members voted in favor of the endorsement.
