Cracking down on property crime
The Governor is cracking down on professional thieves. California made the largest-ever state investment to combat organized retail crime. Now, the Governor is going further by calling for new laws that give new tools to police and prosecutors. They will help prevent smash-and-grabs, retail theft, and car burglaries.
Fighting gun violence
California leads the nation with gun safety laws that work:
- universal background checks,
- 10-day purchase waiting periods,
- mental health reporting,
- requiring most gun buyers to be 21 years and older,
- allowing people to sue those who illegally distribute assault weapons and ghost guns,
- red flag laws, and
- an assault weapons ban.
