California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) got fact-checked Monday after blaming the Hollywood, Florida, shooting incident on constitutional carry law.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) office quickly called out Newsom, asking him how a law that does not go into effect until July 1, 2023, could have been causal in May 29, 2023 shooting?
DeSantis signed a permit-less carry bill in April that removes requirements for:
-background checks
-instruction
-training+oversightUntil our leaders have the courage to stop bowing down to the NRA and enact common sense gun safety this kind of senseless violence will continue. t.co/iX6ryxsPwv

DeSantis office responded: “How does a law that doesn’t take effect until July 1st change this outcome?”
Breitbart News reported Hollywood’s Police Chief Chris O’Brien blamed a “group of criminals” for the shooting incident
Also, I’m pretty sure permitless carry doesn’t stop requirements to legally purchase a gun like background checks
