Reuters) - California Governor Jerry Brown signed several gun control bills into law on Friday, including one measure that raises the minimum age for buying rifles and shotguns from 18 to 21.
The new laws come seven months after a gunman opened fire with a semiautomatic assault-style rifle at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, k*****g 14 students and three adults, the second-deadliest mass shooting at a public school in U.S. history.
The rampage, which authorities say was carried out by a former student who was 19, has spurred unprecedented activism by victims and their families to prevent future gun violence and demanding stricter gun control across the United States.California already has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. State Senator Anthony Portantino, the Democrat lawmaker who wrote the bill, said the rampage in Florida along with other shootings at high schools motivated him.
"No parent should have to worry that a gun gets in the wrong hands and commits a heinous and violent tragedy on our school campuses," he said in a statement.
The new California laws, which go into effect Jan. 1, exempt law enforcement officers and military service members.
Federal law already prohibits people younger than 21 from buying a handgun from a licensed firearms dealer.
