California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott's remarks on gun violence in an interview on Fox News Sunday. Newsom pointed out that Texas' gun death rate is 73% higher than California's and called for federal gun safety laws. He also criticized Abbott for cutting $211 million in mental health funding from the state's budget. Newsom has been targeting Republican governors, including Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, in his crusade for gun reform.
