One year ago today, Los Angeles County experienced its deadliest mass
shooting in history when a gunman killed eleven people and injured nine
others in Monterey Park, California. This tragedy took place at a Chinese
American-owned dance studio where community members were gathered to
celebrate Lunar New Year.

The Monterey Park shooting was sadly one of three deadly mass shootings to
take place in California in a single week in 2023: days earlier, six
people were killed at a home in Goshen, followed by a third mass shooting
in Half Moon Bay that took seven lives.

Since this horrific week, hundreds of additional mass shootings have taken
place across the country. People should not have to fear losing their
lives by going to school, work, parades and holiday celebrations, movie
theaters, places of worship, and other community spaces.

We cannot go on like this.

While gun violence prevention is largely stalled at the federal level
thanks to the GOP, here in California we’re taking every step to stop this
deadly epidemic.

Last month, I joined 21 other attorneys general in support of a federal
law that prohibits selling handguns and handgun ammunition to anyone under
the age of 21, which the gun lobby is trying to overturn in the courts.
This law has been on the books for six decades; we can’t afford to repeal
it now and allow more weapons into the hands of young people when gun
violence is high enough.

This week, I’m hosting the DOJ’s inaugural Office of Gun Violence
Prevention roundtable in Sacramento, and oral arguments begin this
Wednesday in my legal case to reinstate California’s decades-old assault
weapons ban.

I’m also urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the nationwide ban on
bump stocks, which convert semiautomatic firearms into machine guns.

As a dad and as your Attorney General, I will not sit idly by and let gun
violence continue to ravage our communities and keep our families living
in fear.

gun violence prevention measures to stop future mass shootings and save
lives.
