In the wake of two recent mass shootings in California, Governor Gavin Newsom and Senator Dianne Feinstein are calling for urgent action on gun control.

The shootings, which occurred in both Orange and San Bernardino Counties, come despite the state having some of the toughest gun laws in the nation.

In a press conference, Governor Newsom criticized House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for not responding to the mass shootings and urged him to take action. Newsom also swatted down a reporter’s Second Amendment question, saying that the issue of gun control was not a matter of constitutional rights but rather a matter of public safety.

Senator Feinstein echoed Newsom’s call for action, saying that it was time for Congress to act to prevent further tragedies.

The shootings have reignited the debate over gun control in the United States, with many calling for increased background checks, bans on assault weapons, and other measures to help reduce gun violence.
