San Diego officials announced Tuesday that the city was pursuing an emergency permit that would allow it to ban visitors from another beach in the heart of La Jolla.
Authorities described the effort, which, they said, was informed by California Coastal Commission guidance, as an effort to protect visitors and marine life. The closure sought at the tip of Point La Jolla would start at Boomer Beach and end at a nearby stairway leading down to the bluff, and would be temporary, according to officials.

Readers are aware Democrats are coming for ghost guns and have already begun to ban these unserialized weapons.
Ghost guns are untraceable to the federal government and can be bought at gun stores or online in 80% lower kits. Since the lowers are unfinished and involve some drilling and tinkering, the lowers are not considered guns, thus don t need to be serialized.
Difference Between 80% Lower Vs. Firearm
The days of purchasing 80% lower kits are coming to an end in at least one city.
San Diego City Council leaders voted Monday to approve a bill to ban ghost gun sales across the city, according to local news ABC10.

The San Diego City Council voted Monday to approve a $293 million plan that would fund a variety of infrastructure improvement projects across the city, including road repairs, equipment replacement efforts and parks.
Mayor Todd Gloria championed the infrastructure investments to address the city’s infrastructure backlog, he said. “Repairing the physical infrastructure that our City needs to function at the highest possible level for our residents is one of the top priorities of my administration,” he said in a statement.
More than $97.7 million is earmarked for replacing radio equipment and 34 heavy-duty firetrucks. The city’s environmental services would get $50.4 million to put in place its new refuse and recycling collection system, and stormwater would get $49.6 million.
Eighth LAPD Officer Dies Due To COVID-19 Complications
An eighth Los Angeles Police Department officer has died from complications due to COVID-19, the department announced Monday. Officer Becky Strong, who joined the department in 1994, died early Monday after several days in the hospital. She worked as a police officer for 27 years.

In response to the proliferation of “ghost guns,” the San Diego City Council this week approved a ban on the sale and possession of gun frames and firearms that lack a serial number.
“Today we are here to take action to combat the proliferation of non-serialized, nontraceable ghost guns because we have had enough,” Councilmember Marni von Wilpert, who introduced the ordinance, said at Civic Center Plaza before the council meeting. She was joined by advocates of gun violence prevention, who urged the City Council to approve the measure.
In recent years, the number of ghost guns San Diego police have confiscated has skyrocketed. By July 28, police had recovered 255 ghost guns, more than the 211 ghost guns seized all of last year.
