One common left-wing claim is that California’s strong gun control laws prevent gun violence in California so effectively that it is a model for the rest of the country. Our Governor has been an outspoken advocate for more gun control laws to prevent tragedies like mass shootings, and as a result California has become the most heavily regulated state when it comes to gun ownership. So, what are the facts about gun violence and what are effective ways to prevent it? Should the nation adopt California’s model for gun control measures?

I also take a moment to pause and reflect on the life and legacy of a dear fellow conservative commentator and absolute force in this space – Charlie Kirk. His recent murder is an absolute tragedy. May we never forget the courage with which he fought for the values he held dear, and the love he exemplified for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
