His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

It was also about wondering whether you or someone you love would be attacked simply because of the way you look.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the pandemic is easing, that fear still resides in the Asian American community, said Bonta, the state’s first Filipino American attorney general.

The definitions have been expanded at various times in recent years. Each hate crime event can include more than one related offense against more than one victim, and by more than one offender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such crimes targeting Latinos increased from 110 in 2019 to 152 last year, while those against white people rose from 39 to 82.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While hate crimes based on race increased, those prompted by religion dropped 13.5%. Anti-Jewish incidents fell from 141 in 2019 to 115 in 2020, and anti-Islamic incidents decreased from 25 to 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those involving sexual orientation fell from 233 to 205.

The definitions have been expanded at various times in recent years. Each hate crime event can include more than one related offense against more than one victim, and by more than one offender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such crimes targeting Latinos increased from 110 in 2019 to 152 last year, while those against white people rose from 39 to 82.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While hate crimes based on race increased, those prompted by religion dropped 13.5%. Anti-Jewish incidents fell from 141 in 2019 to 115 in 2020, and anti-Islamic incidents decreased from 25 to 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those involving sexual orientation fell from 233 to 205. However, those with a gender bias increased, led by a jump in anti-transgender incidents, from 29 in 2019 to 54 last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Bonta noted that more than half of hate crimes are believed to go unreported, he said he has confidence in local investigators and prosecutors to address the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He nonetheless distributed a new law enforcement bulletin and guidance for prosecutors intended to help them identify and investigate hate crimes, increase immediate and consistent contact with victims and their communities, and promote alternative forms of sentencing and restorative justice approaches when dealing with perpetrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carl Chan, president of Oakland’s Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, praised Bonta's office for also releasing updated brochures in 25 languages advising victims on how to report hate crimes and seek assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan, who \u003ca href=\"https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/04/30/carl-chan-asian-american-attacks-oakland-chinatown-arrest/\">was attacked\u003c/a> from behind and knocked to the ground in April, said the brochures will help spur more reporting of such incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinatown has seen \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/cfd77ca7d4b0c63890f2a087c160d03a\">a decrease in visitors\u003c/a> amid anti-Asian rhetoric, said Oakland City Councilmember Sheng Thao. \"People are fearful of walking the street.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov.

Flanked by California Attorney Rob Bonta, San Francisco Mayor London Breed and anti-gun violence advocates, Newsom called the judge “a wholly owned subsidiary of the gun lobby and the National Rifle Association.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the briefing, Bonta announced his move to appeal the ruling, calling it “disturbing and troubling and of great concern.” He said he also intends to ask the U.S. 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to extend a hold on the decision throughout the entire appeals process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ban on assault weapons will not put an end to gun violence, but is one important tool the state has to protect the safety of Californians while also respecting the rights of law-abiding residents who choose to possess firearms,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During an hour-long KQED radio special this week on gun control and gun violence, hosted by Marisa Lagos and Katie Orr, Bonta said the judge's decision runs contrary to six previous federal court rulings upholding assault weapons bans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only do I disagree with the court's ruling, the overwhelming weight of the federal courts that have addressed this issue disagree with this judge's ruling,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benitez is no stranger to California lawmakers: The state is already appealing both his 2017 ruling against its nearly two-decade-old ban on the sales and purchases of magazines holding more than 10 bullets, and his ruling last year blocking a 2019 state law requiring background checks for anyone buying ammunition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite those challenges, Bonta said, California has passed and upheld some of the most important “common sense” gun laws in the nation, yielding one of the lowest levels of gun deaths, per capita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, while gun violence claims the lives of roughly 3,000 Californians each year — the state, which has among the nation’s strictest gun laws — ranks 44th nationwide in per capita firearms deaths, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so our assault weapons ban in California has been a cornerstone of our regime here to keep California safe for over three decades,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Benitez and other critics of California’s assault weapons ban argue that the target is misguided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the point the judge is trying to get across is that among the guns that are most dangerous, it's not these rifles, it’s handguns,” said Josh Blackman, a law professor at South Texas College of Law Houston, noting that \u003ca href=\"https://maps.everytownresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Every-State-Fact-Sheet-2.0-042720-California.pdf\">more than half\u003c/a> of gun deaths in California are suicides. Handguns are “far more dangerous than the AR-15 [semi-automatic rifle] in terms of total number of deaths and woundings. AR-15s are not used for suicides. It's very hard to shoot yourself with a rifle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The assault-style weapons typically used in mass shootings, Blackman said, draw the most public attention, but are far from the biggest concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These guns are not responsible for a large share of gun deaths, but they're scary and they're useful for marketing purposes” for gun control groups, he said. “The issue of mass shootings captures the national zeitgeist. But if we can be candid for a moment, it's a very, very small percentage of gun deaths.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's an argument that Bonta and many other gun control advocates bristle at, particularly in the aftermath of horrific incidents like the one two weeks ago in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think, statistically minimizing mass shootings does not really recognize the horror and the devastation of them and the fear that they create,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, these are things, mass shootings, that are happening in everyday places, in schools and workplaces, in churches and movie theaters,\" he said. “And people are afraid to do everyday things because they think they can be a victim of mass shootings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said California’s gun control policies have proven effective in significantly reducing firearm deaths in the state. But he noted that more needs to be done, particularly in minimizing other types of gun deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While he stopped short of advocating for any new state legislation, Bonta told KQED he planned to better promote and enforce existing rules that are too often underutilized, including the state’s so-called red flag law, which allows family members and police officers to ask a court to take firearms away from those believed to be a risk to themselves or others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]“This is a multifaceted issue. There's no one panacea. There's no one cure to our gun violence epidemic and to America's disease,” Bonta said. “But every time we can take a step to make progress, we should.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that mass shootings only account for a small percentage of overall gun deaths in California is poor justification for deterring lawmakers from doing everything within their power to prevent them, Ari Freilich, state policy director for the Giffords Law Center, a gun control advocacy group, told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Research is out there that shows that when assault weapon bans are in effect, even if shootings occur, they are less likely to be mass murder events,” he said. “This shouldn't be an either or. It is wrong when people murder and it is wrong when the state doesn't take really modest action to reduce the lethality and likelihood of those tragic events.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alongside that, he added, there’s an urgent need for “massively” increased investments in community-based gun violence prevention programs focused on reducing retaliatory violence and self-harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California could do much more to prevent gun violence, Freilich said, but because of the state's robust efforts, residents here \"are much, much safer than most Americans from gun violence, and that's not an accident.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"Definitely more work to do. But California is making progress at a time other states are seeing spikes in gun violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But despite its strong gun control laws, California certainly has no shortage of guns. An estimated 4.2 million residents here own some 20 million firearms, including 9 million handguns, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://health.ucdavis.edu/vprp/UCFC/Fact_Sheets/CSaWSBrief_InjPrev_Kravitz-Wirtz.pdf\">2018 analysis\u003c/a> by the Firearm Violence Research Center at UC Davis. That amounts to one in four California adults who live in a gun-owning home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"gun-control\"]In addition to guns acquired lawfully in-state, a large number of the firearms in California are brought here illegally from neighboring states with looser restrictions, like Arizona and Nevada, explained Alain Stephens, West Coast correspondent for \u003ca href=\"https://www.thetrace.org/\">The Trace\u003c/a>, a publication that investigates gun violence in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is very much an intake state because of our robust gun control laws,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s gun control efforts, Stephens added, have also been stymied by various other legally questionable means of obtaining firearms. That includes transactions like straw purchases, in which guns are bought legally and then resold to other people, along with ghost guns — made from kits — which can be purchased without a background and have no serial numbers, and so can’t be traced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his city still reeling from the recent mass shooting at the VTA rail yard, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo this week proposed a series of local measures aimed at reducing gun violence, including one that would crack down on gun straw purchases in the city, and another that aimed at banning ghost guns. Liccardo also proposed legislation — sure to be challenged in court if it passes — that would require all gun owners in the city to be insured and to pay a fee to “compensate the public” to help cover the steep cost of emergency services linked to gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's my strong belief that certainly the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to own guns, but it doesn't require taxpayers to subsidize that right,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo said the recent tragedy in his city has thrust the gun control debate front and center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of members of the community are just recognizing this really can happen anywhere,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers aren’t looking to take firearms away from law-abiding gun owners, Liccardo insisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we're trying to do is recognizing that we live in a country with 300 million guns,\" he said. \"How can we make it safer?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>KQED’s Marisa Lagos and Katie Orr conducted the interviews for this story.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It is wrong when people murder and it is wrong when the state doesn't take really modest action to reduce the lethality and likelihood of those tragic events.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alongside that, he added, there’s an urgent need for “massively” increased investments in community-based gun violence prevention programs focused on reducing retaliatory violence and self-harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California could do much more to prevent gun violence, Freilich said, but because of the state's robust efforts, residents here \"are much, much safer than most Americans from gun violence, and that's not an accident.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"Definitely more work to do. But California is making progress at a time other states are seeing spikes in gun violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But despite its strong gun control laws, California certainly has no shortage of guns. An estimated 4.2 million residents here own some 20 million firearms, including 9 million handguns, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://health.ucdavis.edu/vprp/UCFC/Fact_Sheets/CSaWSBrief_InjPrev_Kravitz-Wirtz.pdf\">2018 analysis\u003c/a> by the Firearm Violence Research Center at UC Davis.

Liccardo also proposed legislation — sure to be challenged in court if it passes — that would require all gun owners in the city to be insured and to pay a fee to “compensate the public” to help cover the steep cost of emergency services linked to gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's my strong belief that certainly the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to own guns, but it doesn't require taxpayers to subsidize that right,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo said the recent tragedy in his city has thrust the gun control debate front and center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of members of the community are just recognizing this really can happen anywhere,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers aren’t looking to take firearms away from law-abiding gun owners, Liccardo insisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we're trying to do is recognizing that we live in a country with 300 million guns,\" he said. \"How can we make it safer?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>KQED’s Marisa Lagos and Katie Orr conducted the interviews for this story.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
