Hi, everybody, Cheryl Ackison here. Welcome to another edition of full measure after hours.

Today, all eyes are on San Jose, California,

and a first-of-its-kind gun control law that may surprise you.

It has plenty of supporters and opponents.

We'll tell why it could have implications for all of us.

Music Sunday, March 26, 2023, on full measure, I'm off to San Jose, California for a look at a unique and controversial new gun control law.

After a Supreme Court decision last summer threw out New York's longstanding gun control law and laws like it in other states, many cities and states have been looking for new ways to restrict

guns in a fashion that is defensible under the Constitution. First, you'll hear from the brains

behind San Jose's law, San Laccardo, who was mayor of San Jose when he came up with the idea

and continues to work on it now that he has term limited out of office. Then we'll hear from

someone in a group that opposes the law. Here's Sam Laccardo.

Well, like all big city mayors, we had been thinking hard about how it could reduce

violence from gunshots here in our city because, like every big city, we're afflicted

with violence.

And the mural behind me is a mural of a 13-year-old girl.

Her name is Kayla Salazar.

She was the victim of the mass shooting just outside our city,

Gilroy Garlic Festival a couple of years ago.

She was a San Jose resident.

One of three sisters who lost her life.

And her life is memorialized behind me.
