Gov. Newsom laments 'rinse and repeat' of mass shootings
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday lamented the “rinse and repeat” motions of the U.S. between mass shootings, during which the nation mourns but doesn’t make changes.
Newsom called large-capacity magazines “weapons of pure, mass destruction,” and said it’s “disgraceful” that the U.S. does not address it.
“The No. 1 killer of our kids last year was guns. The hell's wrong with us?” Newsom told reporters Monday.
Americans should have the “freedom to walk the damn streets without being fearful,” he said.
The governor said he didn’t hold a news conference on the Monterey Park shooting on Sunday because “I can't do those again … saying the same thing over and over again. I mean, it's insane.”
