Gavin Newsom and Sen. Kamala Harris called for increased gun control efforts Monday in the wake of the mass shooting in Las Vegas that left at least 58 people dead and more than 500 injured. Newsom, who is running for governor, blasted President Trump and GOP leaders as he offered condolences to those who were killed and injured. We are heartbroken that we can’t pass commonsense gun laws in our nation,” he said in a statement. "If the Republican leadership of Congress and this President continue with their moral and intellectual abandon, California has and must continue to chart the path of rationality." “We must honestly acknowledge the epidemic of gun violence and work together, now, to curb it.”
