francisco. the chronicle on the front page had a picture of this lady and her daughter who had been waiting on the wait list for public housing for 5 years. it's sad that as you have families like hers waiting on the list that you have two hundred and 76 in public housing that remain vacant. we have to do better than that. this is truly outrageous and a travesty. again i'll leave the discussion for the hearing that will be taking place loofrpt this month are that i do want to note that i believe that whatever changes are made to the housing authority whatever the changes
4:02 pm
in this city we need to make sure there is transparency and how the authority operates and a makes decisions. last year a number of us in this body voted for a resolution that was offered by one of our supervisors to hold one of the meetings in city hall so the meetings could be televised. however, the housing authority has yet to take action on that. i am reintroducing a resolution. i want to thank my colleagues (calling names) calling on the san francisco housing authority to move it's meetings to city hall to record it's meeting so the members of the residents of the housing authority can see and to make

4:07 pm
the ordinance don't one it bans the high capacity of magazines. currently, we have limitations on the sale and manufacturing of high capacity magazines bus it's not illegal to possess them. previously they have an assault restriction. the guns were used in the virginia tech shootings as well as the arizona shooting that injured the congresswoman. and there were other incidents. the second part - point this legislation begins to cover it requires local firearm dealers
4:08 pm
to provide the purchaseers of the firearms requiring them the purchaseers that they must report the sale to the chief of police. and additionally it establishes ay bull that the owner of the firearm that has not reported it lost or stole is in position of that. if you are - currently if the - it presents a loophole when officers are going to investigate a case. so we're going electro strengthen the the reporting and hold gone owners accountable
4:09 pm
and it's unlawfully for youngsters to enter a shooting range without being with an adult. i've partnered with the chief of juvenile operation and he's showed me documents of juveniles at the shooting range taking target practice or so this tightens the fact that it makes it unlawfully to enter a shooting range without being accompanied by their parents or guardian. and it's been on the front page of many papers we're in a little bit of a better position but one license too many.
4:10 pm
but this is an instrument that the police department can use to keep us save. and the military justice improvement act for 2013. this is a page sticking out of supervisor camposs book. today on the capital in the united states senate the senator was talking about a position. and the papers talks about a recent pentagon study that will show a recent lies of sexual assault in the military. more than 26 thousand incidents of sexual assaults are amend to have occurred. that's less than 4 thousand of those were ever reported and less than he 10 percent were taken to trial.

doesn't accept monies from the public. it destroys the people's access to protect that abuse. the library is so an example of what happens to those institutions that are run by our increasing government by private partnership. the most believer impact it it depends on t depends on t depends on the destruction of democracy. and then the private partnership promotes the influence of private money. privatization is a failure but private money buys accountability. and in the library this there is no accountability for the money
4:15 pm
there's no accountability for where the money goes and where the sunshine and ethics. there are no repercussions because city hall is enslaved by private money. are you perpetrated for city hall where you can't criticize those folks. it's an open secret that the only benefit is the influence it buys in city hall. most of you know that david chiu had me arrested that's just one of the things to prevent criticism. await ethics social values are limited. they can do to the liable having me arrested didn't solve the
