The White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter bought his gun from Turner’s, which regularly sells guns that turn up at crime scenes in CA.
Yet the state hasn't effectively inspected these stores. When inspections don't happen, crime proliferates.

Yesterday marked a crucial victory for gun safety in CA. @CAgovernor signed three Brady-sponsored bills into law. These laws strengthen safe storage requirements, increase oversight of gun dealers, and mandate the full destruction of seized firearms.🧵⤵️bradyunited.org/about-us/pre…
What are some good event spaces in SoCal that folks recommend? Looking for any suggestions on conference spaces
Roughly 1/3rd of recovered crime guns are ghost guns, however a downward trend has been in place since 2021.

JUST IN: @AGRobBonta released a gun trace report with critical data on the origins of crime guns recovered by law enforcement in California. This data is a result of hard-won legislation by @ca_brady and more. It will inform urgent solutions to gun trafficking. 🧵

BREAKING: In historic move, @Surgeon_General Vivek Murphy declares gun violence a public health crisis.
This comes just weeks after our @ThisIsOurLane Advisory Council, led by @JosephSakran, announced an initiative pushing for such action. #ThisIsOurLane

The strongest safe storage bill in the country (SB 53) just passed the CA Assembly's Public Safety Committee🎉
Safe storage saves lives. Many, including @GriffinDix' son, Kenzo, would still be here today if all guns were safely stored. Thanks to @Portantino & @AsmKevinMcCarty!

Gun dealers who sell guns irresponsibly should not be receiving taxpayer dollars, and we're thrilled to see that San Diego agrees.
We're grateful for the passage of the Ira Sharp Firearm Dealer Accountability Act to prevent the spread of crime guns. 🎉 cbs8.com/article/news/local/…
“Thank you to @bradybuzz’s San Diego chapter, and all the grassroots gun violence prevention activists for your tireless advocacy, your passion, and your hard work to free San Diego and to free California from gun violence.”
