LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón called for stricter gun control in Los Angeles this week after a series of mass shootings occurred over the weekend in Milwaukee, Buffalo, and Laguna Woods.
“We are in this position today because we have leaders in our country who are willing to disregard public safety, sell assault rifles to 18-year-olds, [and] spread racist hate if it helps them win elections,” Gascón claimed during a May 18 press conference.
