There are \u2018real\u2019 gun laws in New York. There are \u2018real\u2019 gun laws in California,\u201d Abbott <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statesman.com\/story\/news\/politics\/state\/2022\/05\/25\/texas-school-shooting-governor-gregg-abbott-gun-laws-beto-uvalde\/9924442002\/\">said<\/a> at a press conference at Uvalde High School. \u201cI hate to say this, but there are more people who are shot every weekend in Chicago than there are in schools in Texas. We need to realize that people who think, \u2018Well, maybe if we just implement tougher gun laws it\u2019s going to solve it.\u2019 Chicago and LA and New York disprove that thesis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At a press conference, Newsom <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/greg-abbott-gavin-newsom-sacramento-california-texas-82dbead26557a047080d5c63ed3ef2f4\">called<\/a> out the Texas governor, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/politics\/article\/Gavin-Newsom-calls-out-Greg-Abbott-17198996.php\">told<\/a> people not to \u201cgive in to the cynicism and all the crap you heard today in that press conference around evil and mental health, [which] completely belies the fact that there\u2019s only one nation on planet Earth that separates itself from all other nations, and that\u2019s the United States of America, in the perversion of a Second Amendment that begins around \u2018well-regulated\u2019 gun policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He added, \u201cWe\u2019ve completely lost our senses and lost touch with that reality, and we need to change that reality and we have the capacity to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI wasn\u2019t even going to bring him up. But Governor Abbott just name-checked the state of California. I would caution them from doing that,\u201d Newsom said. He spoke about the gun mortality rate, saying it is higher in Abbott\u2019s state than California, referencing statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cJust reflect on the seven laws that [Abbott] celebrated last year \u2014 25 just in the last few decades \u2014 that have been rolled back,\u201d Newsom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/politics\/article\/Gavin-Newsom-calls-out-Greg-Abbott-17198996.php\">said<\/a>. \u201cCommon sense that\u2019s been rolled back in the state of Texas alone as it relates to common-sense gun laws. It\u2019s not a surprise, in many respects, what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Newsom also <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/greg-abbott-gavin-newsom-sacramento-california-texas-82dbead26557a047080d5c63ed3ef2f4\">said<\/a> he anticipates that Democrats in the California legislature will deliver \u201cwell over a dozen\u201d gun bills by the end of next month.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/newsletters\/whatmatters\/2022\/05\/california-gun-control-bills-texas-school-shooting\/\">CalMatters<\/a>, some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/politics\/article\/Gavin-Newsom-calls-out-Greg-Abbott-17198996.php\">gun proposals<\/a> going forward include <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB906\">legislation<\/a> making school officials immediately report a \u201cthreat or perceived threat of an incident of mass casualties at a school\u201d to law enforcement personnel, among other requirements. Another <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB915\">bill<\/a> would prohibit state employees and others from selling firearms on state property,\u00a0while <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB1384\">another<\/a> would require licensed firearm dealers to have certain surveillance and security equipment, training, and insurance. Another <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2571\">bill<\/a> would block marketing or advertising \u201cany firearm-related product, as defined\u201d to those under the age of 18 who live in California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The California Senate is already underway on Newsom\u2019s promise, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/california-senate-passes-gun-bill-based-off-texas-pro-life-law\">passing a measure on Tuesday<\/a> based on Texas\u2019 pro-life law regarding guns in the Golden State.
