Remembering ’97 Caltrans Tragedy
- Share via
* It is now a year since the terrible tragedy at the Caltrans yard in Orange (Dec. 19).
We still tolerate 30-, 50- and 100-round magazines. All of our Orange County state legislators in 1998 voted against limiting the number of rounds in a magazine, and our governor vetoed the bill.
