Also: Gavin Newsom signs new gun safety laws targeting illegal weapons, marketing to kids
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law two California bills to further restrict ghost guns in the state and prohibit the marketing of certain guns, such as semiautomatic weapons, to children.
Newsom’s office on Friday said the newly signed California laws directly target the gun lobby and manufacturers “that are preying on our children.” “The lives of our kids are at stake and we’re putting everything on the table to respond to this crisis,” Newsom said in the news release.
Newsom also signed Assembly Bill 2571, which prohibits marketing of certain categories of firearms to minors, such as advertising of a JR-15, which is an AR-15 meant for kids, adorned with cartoon child skulls with pacifiers, according to the Governor’s Office. “Guns are not toys – they are deadly weapons,” Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, D-Orinda, said in the news release. “California has some of the strongest gun laws in the country and it is unconscionable that we still allow advertising weapons of war to our children. Our kids have a right to live long, happy lives, free of gun violence.”
