In the last few hours of the California legislature’s session before adjourning for the fall, legislators passed a dozen new restrictions on gun purchases and access to firearms.

The Hill reports many of the measures aimed at reducing the risk of suicide and increasing access to mental health services passed on unanimous or nearly unanimous votes.

But other, over-reaching bills passed on a party-line vote by Democrats, who hold super-majorities in the state.

Democratic State Sen. Anthony Portantino sponsored two of the most controversial bills that limit gun sales to those under 21 and limit gun purchases to one per month.

The bills, along with hundreds of others now go to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk.

A spokeswoman for the NRA said the legislature’s priorities were misguided.
