Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state's legislative leaders announced swift action to pass new gun control initiatives Wednesday, including a bill allowing lawsuits against illegal gun manufacturers and distributors.
which allows individuals to sue clinics to stop abortion procedures. SB-1327 would allow Californians to sue gun manufacturers for at least $10,000 in civil damages for each weapon. It was introduced in December after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowed Texas to enforce its abortion ban. It now heads to the Assembly.
Another bill, SB 906, would compel school districts to investigate any school shooting threats and report them to law enforcement. An Assembly bill would allow the state Department of Justice, local authorities and victims of gun violence to also sue gun manufacturers and dealers for"irresponsible, reckless, and negligent" selling or marketing of guns in the state.
Even with California's current stringent gun policies, the state has seen some of the deadliest mass shootings in the nation. A gunman attacked a lunch banquet at a Taiwanese church in Laguna Woods earlier this month, killing one person and wounding five others. That mass shooting came just weeksthat killed six people and injured a dozen more just blocks from the state Capitol.
