The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 7 unanimously approved a series of gun regulation measures—including the sales and possession of guns in unincorporated areas—following the recent rash of mass shootings that killed 18 people in California.

The first one forbids the sale of .50-caliber handguns and ammunition in the unincorporated area. The second would prohibit the carrying of guns at county facilities such as beaches, ball fields, and parks, with an exception for law enforcement officers. Two ordinances are expected to take effect soon.
