Craig J. DeLuz, a spokesman for the Firearms Policy Coalition, a gun owners’ rights group, denounced political commentary about gun control.

"Gavin Newsom and Kevin de León are nothing more than opportunistic politicians who prey on tragedies for headlines, so it’s not surprising that they would try to rush to promote gun control before the police have finished their investigation,” DeLuz said. “They treat anti-gun laws as magic talismans that will ward off evil. It hasn't worked in California and it won't work in other states.”
