California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a package of legislation to prevent gun violence, a problem confronting not just the station but the entire country.
On Friday, Gov. Newsom said, “Gun violence is an epidemic in this country, one that’s been enflamed by the inaction of politicians in Washington. While Washington has refused to act on even the most basic gun safety reforms, California is once again leading the nation in passing meaningful gun safety reforms.”
On the other hand, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, co-founder of Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence, commented, “California continues to be a leader in fighting the threat of gun violence. The legislative package Governor Newsom signed today will help make California safer for all who call it home, and it shows the nation what committed, active, and thoughtful leadership on gun safety looks like.”
The former lawmaker added that her organization is “proud to have played a strong role in helping craft this package” of bills to become law.
