Ralph Northam has called for a special legislative session to address gun-related violence. Using the shooting as a call to action, he then proposed a variety of restrictions on lawful gun owners – not one of which would have prevented or even mitigated the very shooting used to justify them.   TOWNHALL Newsom's Coveted Ammo Background Check Law is Set to go Into Effect – And CA Gun Owners are Prepping Gun owners in California are buying ammunition en masse as they prepare for a new ammo background check law that is set to go into effect on July 1.
