File - Gov. Gavin Newsom discusses a 2016 voter-approved ballot initiative that will require Californians to undergo criminal background checks every time they buy ammunition starting July 1 during a news conference in Sacramento, Calif., Tuesday June 25, 2019. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli) California Gov. Gavin Newsom says it is inexplicable that a weapon “of godd—ned mass destruction” was used over the weekend during the Gilroy Garlic Festival mass shooting.
The Democrat told a Santa Clara audience that a semi-automatic rifle that Santino William Legan, 19, used to kill three and wound 12 others exists in the U.S., in large part, because of “completely bankrupt” Republican lawmakers.
“You can’t put borders up, speaking of borders, to a neighboring state where you can buy this damn stuff legally,” he said Monday at a local medical center, the Los Angeles Times reported. “How in the hell is that possible? I have no problem with the 2nd Amendment, you have a right to bear arms but not weapons of godd—ned mass destruction.”
The weapon used by the gunman, who was fatally shot by police on the scene, was described by authorities as an “AK-47 variant.”

Did Newsom happen to mention that the shooter was half Iranian? I didn’t think so.
...who was anti-Capitalist.
What? Put a fence around each state and have an entry control point like CA does?
Let’s build a border around Cali. That’s the first good diead I’ve head from these bozo’s in years!!
I’d contribute.
The Illicit Drugs coming over our Southern Border kill more people than Semi Auto Rifles do. Build the Wall.
How about checks on progressives to stop weapons of mass stupidity?
Maybe something called HUAC?
what an abject, total embarrassment to the once-great State of Californication
What a drama queen. The drunk illegal alien drivers on our highways have killed thousands of US citizens. BUILD THE WALL!
So...there should NOT be a border between AMERICA and people who have absolutely no interest in AMERICA other than as a dispenser of goodies, but, there SHOULD be a border between one part of AMERICA and another because one of the (ostensibly offending) parts actually adheres to the founding BILL OF RIGHTS???
Sure, leave it to California to ban one of the higher quality AKs available.
Stop importing crazy people into our country.
We have enough of our own.
Borders? Borders? He said BORDERS?
Ohhhhh ..... what a filthy person. He would control who comes and goes?
I am so glad he will never be elected to public office./s s s s s s
Calif used to have ag inspection stations on the borders.
Hey, kali has ag chk stations. Add firearm chk stations too.
Drugs kill more people in a day than guns do in a year.
“weapons of godd—ned mass destruction.”
I never thought an AK variant
was considered a WMD. They
must be the mother of all rifles.
Illegals are weapons of mass destruction to our country and HE trafficks in them.
