Brown also signed a bill that made it clear rapid-fire "bump stocks" like those used in the 2017 Las Vegas shooting are illegal in California.

He also vetoed a bill to expand the state's gun violence restraining order law, which would have allowed colleagues, mental health workers and school employees to seek restraining orders.
