From Breitbart: 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.
Despite all the extant gun controls, Breitbart News pointed to FBI figures showing California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” in 2021 and 2023.
