Friends -

Tuesday afternoon, the country watched in horror as a gunman walked into a Texas elementary school and killed 19 kids and 2 teachers.

It was the 3rd worst school shooting in modern American history.

And I want to say this to all of you today — because you need to hear it from me, your governor, directly:

California will not stand by as kids across this country are gunned down.

Guns are now the leading cause of death for kids in America. Can you imagine? More than car accidents, more than anything else. Guns.

The Second Amendment is not a suicide pact, folks.

So while the U.S. Senate stands idly by and activist federal judges strike down common sense gun laws, our state is going to act with the urgency this crisis demands.

Here’s what we’re going to do:

We are going to restrict the advertising of firearms to minors.

We are going to restrict ghost guns and the parts and kits used to build them.

We are going to allow governments and victims of gun violence to sue manufacturers and sellers of firearms.

And we are going to pass a bill that will allow any private citizen in California to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes, imports or sells an assault rifle or ghost gun in California.

Now, I am going to need your help to get this done.

Because if we do, we are going to save lives.

Thank you,

Gavin Newsom
