California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed a new round of sweeping gun control laws Friday, including a measure expanding the state’s red flag law by granting new authority to prosecutors. The bill, AB 1344, allows district attorneys in select counties to petition courts to confiscate firearms from individuals they deem dangerous.
A combat veteran has been arrested in connection with Saturday night’s deadly mass shooting at the American Fish Company in Southport, North Carolina. Authorities say the attack, which left three dead and five injured, was “highly premeditated.”
Gun control activists are using the August 8, 2025, shooting near Emory University to renew calls for a statewide red flag law in Georgia. The attack, carried out with stolen firearms, left DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose dead before the suspect, identified as Patrick Joseph White, took his own life.
Joe Biden is shifting blame for the rise in crime across the country while also claiming it’s Republicans that are lying about who’s behind the push to defund America’s police departments.
According to the White House, on Wednesday President Joe Biden will outline new gun control measures, as the administration seeks to tie gun ownership to the sharp rise in violent crime in major American cities.
Public support for prioritizing new laws to reduce gun violence has declined from a high 3 years ago, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Wednesday.
