California, which has some of the most stringent gun laws in the U.S., has vowed to pursue multiple avenues to keep its residents safe, setting an example for other states.
also ranked California as No. 1 on gun laws. Bonta attributed the state's decline in mortality rates related to gun violence to laws that “work.”
The Supreme Court’s decision in the Second Amendment case, however, made a major component of California’s concealed carry law unconstitutional. The long-established New York law required gun owners to obtain licenses to carry concealed handguns in public for self-defense. License applicants had to demonstrate “proper cause,” in other words, justifying a special need for the concealed carry license because they face a"special or unique danger to their life.
But Bonta says there are even more bills heading toward the desk of California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, that he says will strengthen their gun laws. He called on elected officials across the country to act. "While this reckless decision erases a commonsense gun safety law that existed for decades, California anticipated this moment," he said."Our Administration has been working closely with the Attorney General and the legislature for months.
Bonta emphasized that many of California’s commonsense gun laws remain untouched, despite the Bruen decision.
