Limits on Shotgun Purchases Among Calif. Gun Control Measures

By Eric Scheiner | January 22, 2016 | 11:20 AM EST
California state lawmakers are kicking off their 2016 legislative session with a push for more gun control.

KTXL-TV reports, a number of gun-related bills have been introduced this week.

“Hopefully all of us can agree there are too many deaths from guns,” said state Sen. Richard Pan of Sacramento.

Tuesday, Pan introduced SB 877, which would require the state to keep track of gun violence data.

The measure is one of several gun control bills introduced this week.

Another bill, aims to limit purchases of a shotgun or rifle to one per month.

Two separate bills, one in the Senate, SB 880, and another in the Assembly, AB 1664, hope to add semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines to the list of assault weapons banned in California.

Craig Deluz, spokesperson for the Firearms Policy Coalition, tells KTXL-TV this aggressive gun agenda following San Bernardino is a repeat of 2013 following Sandy Hook.

“Some of the things they're proposing are just as sweeping, and oh, by the way, some of these very same ideas were shot down,” said Deluz. "Basically what it does is it institutes an arbitrary limit on a constitutionally protected right.”

Good luck in 2016, Californians!
