Two bills that form a crucial part of the Lifesaving Intelligent Firearms Enforcement Act are now before Governor Brown. They are:

SB 374: strengthens and broadens the law on assault weapons.

SB 755: helps keep guns out of the hands of people who’ve shown dangerous or risky conduct related to firearms, ammunition or substance abuse.
