Newsom signs new gun control laws, including one requiring owners to take a 4-hr class

Have a gun? You’re going to need to take another safety class after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a package of bills last week that are a boon to gun control advocates and anathema to Second Amendment groups.

The law, Senate Bill 948, would apply to current residents with newly purchased guns starting in 2029. The class would need to be at least four hours long. Starting in 2028, people moving to California with guns would need to obtain a firearm safety certificate within 180 days of arrival. Berkeley Democratic Sen. Jesse Arreguín wrote the legislation.
