SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A San Francisco Board of Supervisors committee Thursday approved two pieces of legislation targeting the sale and possession of certain ammunition in the city.

The ordinances would make certain military-grade ammunition illegal to possess in San Francisco and require businesses to notify police when someone buys 500 rounds or more of ammunition in a single transaction.

The board’s city operations and neighborhood services committee voted to move both items to the full board with a positive recommendation.

Supervisor Malia Cohen, representative of the Bayview District and other neighborhoods in the southeast part of the city, said, “I know all too well about the impact of senseless gun violence.”
