California Ranks Number One with the Strongest Gun Laws in the Nation
California continues to rank best in the nation for strong gun reform measures, according to a new state analysis by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. California received an A- and ranked number one in this year's, "2013 State Scorecard: Why Gun Laws Matter" produced by the organizations.
“This year California Brady Chapters sent 18 bills to the Governor and a record eleven bills were signed into law, including measures to keep guns out of dangerous hands and closing loopholes in California’s law prohibiting large capacity magazines. The research shows that strong gun laws can keep people safe from gun violence. We know that California’s strong gun laws are saving lives,” said Amanda Wilcox, the Legislation and Policy Chair for the California Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
