Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) took to social media moments after reports of a deadly active shooter situation in Maine broke out Wednesday evening, criticizing Republicans for voting down a bill that would have created a waiting period for gun purchases.
Newsom quoted a post on X from MSNBC shortly after the mass shooting, writing, “Republicans in Maine rejected a bill this year that would have required a waiting period for firearm purchases. They seriously could not fathom waiting 72 hours to buy a gun.”
