Senate Bill 1100, authored by State Senator Anthony J. Portantino, D-La Cañada Flintridge, would raise the required age to purchase a shotgun or a rifle, collectively known as long guns, from 18 to 21 throughout California
“I am proud that this important piece of legislation has passed the California State Senate,” Portantino said. “This bill sends a clear message to those in Washington who continue to ignore the cries for change to our gun laws. Here in California we create change and respond to gun violence with sensible control.”
