California is taking actions tackling gun violence. Governor Gavin Newsom signed a number of other gun control bills on July 21 and July 22. Senator Dave Min (D-Irvine), Senator Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara), and Assemblymember Steve Bennet (D-Ventura) announced that Senate Bill (SB) 915 is signed into law. This legislation bans the sale of firearms, ammunition, and precursor parts on all property owned and operated by the state. This builds on SB 264 from last year that brought an end to gun shows held at the Orange County Fair & Event Center.
SB 915 comes at a moment where gun-related deaths in the United States have swelled to crisis levels, with increased fatalities in 2020 and 2021 according to the Gun Violence Archive.
“Last year, we laid the foundation for this moment with a ban on gun shows at the Orange County Fairgrounds. Today, I am proud to announce that California will become the first in the nation to enact a total ban statewide. This is a clear and decisive step to address the persistent threat of gun violence that has surged since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. For too long, gun shows have become synonymous with underage sales, cash-and-carry transactions, and the sale of unserialized ghost guns. At a time when the specter of gun violence looms everywhere, even in churches in communities like Laguna Woods, we must say that enough is enough. Our communities and our state will be safer because of this new law, and I would like to thank Governor Newsom and my legislative colleagues for their support in passing this landmark legislation,” said Min
Other gun control bills include allowing private citizens to sue manufacturers who sell, transport or distribute illegal assault weapons and ghost guns; a 10-year prohibition for firearm possession on those convicted of child or elder abuse; a reduction in the number of guns someone is allowed to manufacture without a license and a requirement that the state justice department inspect gun dealers at least every three years beginning in 2024.
加州針對槍支暴力問題，採取行動了! 州長 Gavin Newsom 於 7 月 21 日和 7 月 22 日簽署了多項槍支管制法案。橙縣選出的州參議員閔大衛 Dave Min (D-Irvine)、參議員 Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) 和議員 Steve Bennet (D-Ventura) 宣布，參議院法案 (SB) 915 已簽署成為法律。該立法禁止在加州擁有和經營的所有財產上銷售槍支、彈藥和前體零件。這是建立在去年的 SB 264 法案之上的，該 SB 264 結束了在橙縣集市和活動中心舉行的槍支展售會（gun show)。
SB 915 發布之際，根據《槍支暴力檔案》信息，2020 年和 2021 年的死亡人數上升，美國與槍支有關的死亡人數已激增至危機程度。
閔大衛說：“去年，我們在橙縣各集市禁止槍支展售會，為這一刻奠定了基礎。今天，我很自豪地宣布，加州將成為全美第一個在全州範圍內實施全面禁令的州。這是應對自 COVID-19 大流行開始以來激增的槍支暴力持續威脅，而做出的明確而決定性的步驟。長期以來，槍支展售會已成為對未成年人銷售、現金當場交易，和未註冊幽靈槍枝銷售的代名詞。在槍支暴力的陰影無處不在的時候，甚至在像拉古納伍兹這樣的社區教會裡都存在時，我們必須說，我們受夠了！由於這項新法律，我們的社區和我們的州將更加安全。”
其他槍支管制法案包括允許普通公民起訴銷售、運輸或分發非法攻擊性武器和幽靈槍的製造商；對那些曾被判虐待兒童或老人的人實施 十 年禁止持有槍支；減少未經許可製造的槍支數量，並要求州司法部門從 2024 年開始至少每三年檢查一次槍支經銷商。
