Dianne Feinstein Calls for Federal Adoption of California Gun Laws in Wake of California Shooting<\/a><\/p>\n

Federalizing California\u2019s laws is the answer to preventing future mass shootings like the one that happened in California this weekend, according to one of the state\u2019s senators.<\/p>\n

Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) called for a collection of new federal gun laws in response to a shootout in Sacramento, California, on Sunday morning, which left six dead and a dozen injured. She said Congress should adopt universal background checks, bans on \u201cassault weapons\u201d and \u201cghost guns,\u201d as well as an ammunition magazine capacity limit to prevent similar future killings.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongress knows what steps must be taken to stop these mass shootings, we just have to act,\u201d Feinstein said in a press release.<\/p>\n

However, all of the policies Feinstein advocated for are already law in California. The state has among the strictest gun laws in the country. It has long required background checks on private sales of used guns, banned a continually expanding list of \u201cassault weapons,\u201d limited the capacity of ammunition magazines to ten rounds, and outlawed unserialized firearms.<\/p>\n

Feinstein admitted many of the details of the shooting were \u201cstill being investigated\u201d when she issued her statement. Police hadn\u2019t apprehended any suspects when she weighed in on a solution. Details remain limited on what happened during the shooting, but reports indicate shots were fired after an early-morning fight outside a nightclub in a crowded downtown area of the city. Three suspects with serious criminal records have now been apprehended,\u00a0according to Sacramento Police<\/a>,<\/p>\n

Federal law precludes at least two of the men from possessing firearms due to their previous convictions. Additionally, one of the men has been charged with illegal possession of a machinegun, another federal crime.<\/p>\n

Feinstein was not the only one to call for new federal gun laws in response to the shooting. President Joe Biden (D.) advocated for many of the same policies during his comments on the killings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also continue to call on Congress to act,\u201d Biden said on Sunday. \u201cBan ghost guns. Require background checks for all gun sales. Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.\u201d<\/p>\n

The refrain has become a common response from gun-control advocates in the wake of high-profile shootings. They often argue while California\u2019s gun laws are strong, looser laws in neighboring states undermine those policies. Advocates say federal gun laws are required to ensure criminals cannot obtain banned guns or accessories across state lines and then illegally transport them back into California.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, this isn\u2019t an isolated event,\u201d Feinstein said. \u201cIt\u2019s the latest in an epidemic of gun violence that continues to plague our country. Enough is enough. We can no longer ignore gun violence in our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, there are no reports the suspects in Sacramento\u2019s shooting obtained their guns from outside the state. They would have been breaking federal law by obtaining them regardless given their criminal histories.<\/p>\n

Sacramento Police are asking anyone with more information on the shooting to contact them at (916) 808-5471 or the Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357). They are offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information, and callers may remain anonymous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
