California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been criticized by the National Rifle Association (NRA) for claiming that the Second Amendment is becoming a “suicide pact” while he was surrounded by what appeared to be at least four armed security guards.

Newsom made the comments during an interview with CBS News in the Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park on Jan. 24 following two mass shootings within the state within just days of each other.
