California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday signed legislation to allow Californian victims of shootings to sue gun makers and sellers for the harm caused by criminals using guns.

The governor, a Democrat, said in a video statement that most industries are “held to account” when their products cause harm except for the gun industry.
