-

63 Question: Should California enact gun control measures, including a ban on large- capacity ammunition magazines, a requiremen­t for background checks on ammo buyers and the creation of a system to get newly convicted felons to surrender their firearms? Money raised for “Yes” campaign: $4.7 million Money raised for “No” campaign: $742,376 What you should know: The measure was proposed by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom in response to a string of mass shootings. Proponents say it is necessary to keep guns and bullets out of the hands of criminals. Opponents say some provisions duplicate existing state law and others would make it harder for law-abiding California­ns to have and use guns.
