It prohibits the sale of pistols with a specific trigger design that allows them to be converted into fully automatic weapons using a small device known as a “switch,” sometimes made on a 3D printer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers pointed to a 2022 mass shooting near the state Capitol in Sacramento, which killed six people and wounded a dozen more, as an example of the danger posed by converted weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California won’t back down in the face of threats from Donald Trump and the NRA,” Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, D-Encino, one of the bill’s authors, said in a \u003ca href=\"https://gabriel.asmdc.org/press-releases/20260701-landmark-legislation-closing-diy-machine-gun-loophole-goes-effect-trump\">statement\u003c/a> on Wednesday. “As a parent and lawmaker, I refuse to stand idly by while our schools and communities are being threatened by illegal gun violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11962548\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11962548\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/AP23269726479806-scaled-e1783030536835.jpg\" alt=\"People dressed in business suits and dresses stand around a man in a business suit who looks up at a man to shake his hand.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

The complaint compares the law to banning shotguns because they could be illegally sawed off, arguing that the ability to convert a legal weapon doesn’t justify banning it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Gibbons-Shapiro, an assistant district attorney of Santa Clara County who oversees the office’s victim services unit, said the law addresses a threat he’s seen up close. His team has responded to two mass shootings since 2019, which includes the 2021 shooting at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11950765/we-have-a-long-way-to-go-says-vta-transit-union-president-on-anniversary-of-rail-yard-shooting\">VTA rail yard in San José\u003c/a> that killed nine people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You shouldn’t be able to sell a gun that can easily convert to a machine gun with a plastic insert,” Gibbons-Shapiro said. “It’s illegal to have a machine gun under federal law. Those are weapons of war.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the law is part of a broader local effort — including gun violence restraining orders and prosecutions of people manufacturing untraceable “ghost guns” — aimed at preventing mass shootings before they happen.[aside postID=news_12089236 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/04/GroceriesAP.jpg']“These laws do not prevent guns from being sold in California,” he said. “They are trying to make sure that people who buy guns buy guns that are safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adam Wilson, California director for Gun Owners of California, said his organization was “ecstatic” about the lawsuit, arguing the state is illegally banning a firearm in common use. He dismissed the argument that Glock-style pistols are uniquely dangerous simply because they can be illegally modified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the state of California is going to argue potential for misuse on one of the most commonly owned handguns in America, they can argue potential for misuse for any weapon that’s ever existed,” Wilson said. “Even things that aren’t weapons, like cars.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/usa-v-ca-glock-ban.pdf\">DOJ’s lawsuit\u003c/a> also revives a fight over the state’s handgun roster, and targets state requirements that new handguns include a chamber-load indicator and a mechanism that prevents firing when the magazine is removed. Those requirements have faced a separate legal challenge in \u003cem>Boland v. Bonta\u003c/em>. In 2023, a federal judge struck down its safety standards, including a microstamping rule — where handguns transfer identifiers like make, model and serial number onto fired shell casings — the state has since delayed to 2028.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson argued gun owners shouldn’t need government-mandated features on their weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gun owners are generally very law-abiding and responsible citizens,” he said. “They don’t need the government to babysit what kind of features should or should not be on the weapons that they choose for self-defense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adam Skaggs, chief counsel and vice president at Giffords Law Center, an anti-gun violence advocacy group led by former \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12075/breaking-arizon-congresswoman-gabrielle-giffords-shot\">Rep.

Gavin Newsom this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year, which begins Wednesday, includes nearly $1.9 billion in funding to relieve the high cost of childcare for low-income families. Most of that funding will be allocated for childcare vouchers, and the state determined there’s enough existing funds to offer school employees access to the California State Preschool Program, which provides free early education in a variety of settings for families who earn \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cd/ci/mb2603.asp\">up to the state median income\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providers were disappointed by some elements of the budget that they said don’t reflect the actual cost of providing care, but parents who \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12086244/california-parents-on-waitlist-for-subsidized-childcare-anxious-over-proposed-budget-cuts\">have been waiting for a subsidy to help with childcare\u003c/a> were encouraged by the news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can see a light in the tunnel,” said Carmen Perez, a Novato mom who has been waiting more than 18 months for an open slot for her toddler son. “I hope we can get off the waiting list. That would be awesome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final budget marks a recent reversal for Newsom, who had vowed in 2021 to dramatically increase access to childcare and fund more than 200,000 slots. But after an early push of adding almost 130,000 placements, the state paused the expansion for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state was supposed to resume the rollout this fiscal year, but in May, Newsom instead proposed cutting 6,800 slots as part of his push to eliminate the state deficit. The Democratic-led legislature countered with a proposal to add 44,000 more before settling on the nearly 23,000 spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12089607\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12089607\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/240215-PreschoolSuspension-37-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/240215-PreschoolSuspension-37-BL_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/240215-PreschoolSuspension-37-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/240215-PreschoolSuspension-37-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danielle Jorgenson, known to students as Teacher Dani, cheers for students as they jump during a preschool class at Los Medanos College Child Study Center in Pittsburg on Feb. 15, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Most of that funding will be allocated for vouchers, which families typically use to pay for home-based childcare, with a smaller portion for spaces at childcare centers for children under the age of 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Democratic lawmakers reminded the governor of his commitment to young children and families, and the governor somewhat reluctantly did agree to continue his own momentum to lift young kids,” said Bruce Fuller, an education policy professor at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fuller and his colleagues at the university’s Equity and Excellence in Early Childhood alliance found that during the period California expanded access to transitional kindergarten for all 4-year-old children, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12082904/as-transitional-kindergarten-grows-hundreds-of-child-care-centers-close\">nearly 10% of community-based childcare programs and preschools shut their doors\u003c/a>.

It would also extend to any workforce housing included on either site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It asks for the proposed shipyard to rely on a 2008 environmental impact report the county has already approved for that site.
