Over the past few weeks, a new wave of gun control bills has been signed into law in California and Maryland.
California and Maryland already have some of the strictest gun control laws in the country. These include bans on certain semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 and bans on magazines that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition.
