In the midst of a massive budget deficit and an energy crisis that caused rolling blackouts around the state, California recalled Gov.

California is the most regulated state in America when it comes to restricting the sale, use, and ownership of guns. Gun-control advocates call it the national leader, the “tip of the spear” setting the tone for other states, as Christian Heyne of the gun-control advocacy group Brady puts it.

The tally is in. Opponents of California’s progressive governor, Democrat Gavin Newsom, have collected enough signatures – now verified by election officials – to trigger a recall election of the governor this year. Recall elections in the United States are rare. With 19 states allowing them, this will be only the fourth for a governor in U.S. history.  It’s going to be a biggie, and not just because California is a colossus. This is America’s main electoral event...
