California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed several gun control measures Tuesday, including a bill that tightens the state’s concealed-carry rules and another that imposes a new tax on firearm and ammunition sales.

During a signing ceremony in Sacramento alongside lawmakers and gun control advocates, Newsom said California would resist legal efforts to dismantle its firearms laws and maintain its position as a national gun control leader, but called for greater federal action.

“We have a responsibility to do more and continue to lead in that conversation,” Newsom said. “I think we need to be screaming louder about this.”
