Gun control bills proposed at local, national level in wake of San Bernardino shooting
WASHINGTON (KGO) -- At the United States capitol Tuesday House and Senate Democrats are trying to force Republicans to discuss and vote on gun control bills targeting extremists.
The bills would prevent anyone on the no-fly list from buying firearms, something the President suggested in his address Sunday.
Democrats in the House, mostly from California, are continually making motions to adjourn if there's no gun control debate and vote.

Locally, the Oakland City Council will hear a proposal supporting the California Safety For All Act to reduce gun crime Tuesday night. Two city council members want to ban all magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
