The powers that be in Redwood City, California are going to extraordinary lengths to keep gun stores from opening for business in their community, but while their anti-gun efforts may be making it more difficult for residents to legally acquire a firearm the prohibitionist policy is doing nothing to prevent minors from illegally accessing or using guns.
