California lawmakers send 13 gun control bills to Gov. Brown

The California Assembly on Thursday approved a legislative package pushed by the state’s powerful Senate president to beat Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ballot initiative to a gun control body slam.

The proposals, marched through both the Senate and Assembly by Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León include a number of measures crafted from gutted and amended zombie bills left behind by the resignation of a fellow Democrat.

All passed in robust party-line votes as De León, is locked in race to deliver his package to the governor’s desk before Newsom’s Safety for All voter referendum is decided in November.
