Activists who gathered in Long Beach for a volunteer mobilization to keep fighting for abortion rights also remembered the victims of the deadly Texas school shooting.

Hours after a deadly elementary school shooting in Texas, California senators on Tuesday approved giving people the power to sue those who traffic in illegal firearms, mimicking a Texas law that is intended to deter abortions.

"Here's what they should do at the national level - what California has done. If they did that, we'd all be safer. Period. Full stop," Bonta said."If they did, we'd all be safer. If they uplifted and used red flag laws like we do in California, if they banned large capacity magazines, if they had an assault weapons ban," Bonta said.

Many who turned out on Wednesday said whether it's about abortion rights or gun reform, it ultimately comes down to saving lives. "I want to tell you quality of life is being put at risk because of decisions that will be, can be made by not only Supreme Court justices, but by state legislators all over this country," said Rep. Maxine Waters.
