Weiss Seeks Ways to ID Ammo Buyers
From Times Staff Reports
A Los Angeles councilman asked the LAPD and city attorney’s office on Friday to study ways to identify those who purchase ammunition.
The request by Councilman Jack Weiss follows a Rand Corp. report, released Thursday, that found dozens of ex-felons and others legally prohibited from buying ammunition purchased more than 10,000 rounds of bullets and shotgun shells during a two-month study period in 2004.
The rounds, the report said, were purchased at 10 businesses in Los Angeles that sell ammo.
