It passed the Assembly in a bipartisan manner
It passed both houses with over 2/3rds majorities, and neither was Republican controlled... so your attempt to make it a partisan thing is confusing.
- kasey_junk 7y agoIt’s fairly straight forward, Republicans have traditionally been anti gun control. But when push came to shove they abandoned that position when it meant allowing black men to be armed. That said the GOP was much less strident in their gun worship back then generally.
- masonic 7y agoName one gun control measure opposed by CA Republican assembly members or senators that term. One. CA Republicans of that era were not anti gun control.
- iudqnolq 7y ago> so your attempt to make it a partisan thing is confusing. I said it bipartisan. Both Democrats and Republicans supported it. But it's more intesting to me and many others that Republicans supported gun control, because Democratic support is a given. I wasn't aiming to say either party acted better in this specific case.
