Gun Control

California enacted a law to remove guns from people deemed too dangerous to be armed. But the measure, plagued by problems, has not achieved its promise.

State Sen. Lynn Findley opposed Senate Bill 554. Some constituents say he should have walked out over it.

Judge Rodger Benitez ruled that the state was unlawfully depriving Californians of weapons allowed in most other states and by the Supreme Court. Gov. Gavin Newsom has condemned the decision.

Senate Bill 554 requires gun owners to securely store their weapons when not in use, and will ban possession of guns in the state Capitol and Portland International Airport. It paves the way for public schools and universities to enact their own bans.

Senate Bill 554 is the first truly contentious bill of the 2021 legislative session.

With Democrats in full control of Congress, lawmakers hope that the legislation will find more support. Efforts to pass tougher gun control laws have repeatedly failed despite recent mass shootings.
