Good morning.

For the second week in a row, Monday’s news was dominated by horrifying accounts of mass violence.

My colleagues have been on the ground in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, where more than 30 people were killed in back-to-back shootings. You can read their coverage here.

For Californians, this weekend’s events again spurred discussions about gun control. But as my colleagues reported last week in the wake of the shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, even relatively tight restrictions didn’t stop the gunman from bringing a weapon he’d purchased legally in Nevada over the state line.

And CalMatters published this thorough history of gun policy in California earlier this year.

The El Paso shooting also renewed focus on a rise in white supremacist language that frames immigration as an invasion. Latinos — a group that the authorities said the El Paso gunman apparently targeted in a manifesto posted just before the shooting — are particularly on edge, The Los Angeles Times reported.
