Sacramento mass shooting renews calls for stricter gun control laws
The shooting that left six people dead and 12 wounded in downtown Sacramento on Sunday has sparked renewed calls among California officials, city leaders and activists for new legislation that they say could help prevent more bloodshed.
Bonta is sponsoring a proposal to more stringently regulate marketing and distribution by the gun industry and allow the state and victims to sue those who skirt firearms laws.“Angry that there is more we can do to stop gun violence like this from happening in the first place,” Hertzberg said. “Just blocks from the Capitol, this mass shooting will be a reminder of action needed to save lives. The Legislature will act.
A second person also fired a gun, although it was not clear whether that person was also in the car or in the crowd. “There is a video out in the community that appears to depict rapid fire,” said Zachary Eaton, spokesperson for the Sacramento Police Department. “But we are still working through the investigator report, so I can’t confirm that right now.”“In what sane society do we allow the proliferation of assault weapons in the way that we see being used indiscriminately, not just in Sacramento but in other parts of the country?” he asked.
