Abstract

The article reports on the introduction of a legislation that would prohibit people with possibly harmful behavior to buy or own a gun by lawmakers in California in May 2014. The move is in response to a mass shooting at the University of California, Santa Barbara by Elliot O. Rodger which killed six students. It notes that the said bill might face challenges from the National Rifle Association (N.R.A.), gun rights advocates, and people concerned about the rights of mentally ill individuals.
