California may provide President Biden with a political victory this year by toughening gun storage requirements. State senators in California passed legislation aligning with a White House priority to prevent gun violence. The Biden administration wants gun owners to secure their firearms most of the time, particularly with children present. Statistics show that firearms are the leading cause of death for children in the US. While some other states have introduced similar measures, California’s bill is seen as excessive by Republicans and the NRA. If passed, the bill may face legal challenges but stands a better chance in California’s Democratic-controlled Legislature than in Congress. Governor Gavin Newsom’s stance on the bill is unclear.
