Next week, Oakland, Calif., could be the only city in California with the right to make its own rules governing gun licensing and registration. A bill called AB180, sponsored by Assemblyman Rob Bonta, is on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk. For the bill to become law, it must be signed by midnight on Sunday.

The ordinance would track guns from their origins to their current owners, making it easier to identify illegal gun traffickers, and give the city the right to remove guns from people whose names appear on a statewide list of those prohibited from owning firearms. The state list is currently backlogged with tens of thousands of people.

“This is a bill that provides authority that is now exclusive to the state,” Bonta told Chip Johnson at SF Gate, “because Oakland is unique in the state and the nation in the way gun violence has affected the community.”

Not surprisingly, the N.R.A. is urging the governor to veto the bill. Here is today’s report.
