California Enacts New Gun Control Measures
------------------------------------------

A number of states have implemented their own gun control measures
recently, including California, which has just signed bills that
increase the minimum age for purchasing rifles and shotguns from 18 to
21 and ban the possession of firearms for people convicted of domestic
violence and those who have been hospitalized for mental health issues
more than once in a one-year period.
