State Lawmakers React To Deadly Gilroy Garlic Festival Shooting

Publication: KRON 4

Several state lawmakers are demanding federal action following a deadly shooting at the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival.

Police revealed Monday the shooter purchased an AK47-style rifle legally from Nevada.

Though California has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, some say the state’s laws are only as good as those of its neighbors.

“No more thoughts and prayers. time to take more action so we can go to work, school and festivals without fear of getting shot,” Bay Area Assemblyman Phil Ting tweeted in part.
