Gov. Gavin Newsom Signs 24 Gun Controls in California
California is already No. 1 for gun control among states in the Union, according to Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety, yet Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed 24 new gun controls on Tuesday.
Prior to Tuesday, California already had an “assault weapons” ban, a “high-capacity” magazine ban, universal background checks, a ten-day waiting period on gun purchases, gun registration requirements, a limit on the number of guns a law-abiding citizen can buy each month, a ban on campus carry for self-defense, a ban on K-12 teachers being armed for classroom defense, background checks on ammunition purchases, and more.
