McClatchy High School, Attorney General Xavier Becerra stood in front of students, parents and cameras Tuesday night to deliver the Democratic response to the State of the Union<wm> address and to re-emphasize his commitment to gun violence prevention and community safety.
Becerra's call to action came on what was essentially the first address of the Biden Administration since 2021, and his message of gun safety was a key part of the Democratic Party platform.

"My fellow Californians, we are at a time of great transition and great danger," said Xavier Becerra. "As your State Attorney General, I have dedicated myself to protecting you and to fighting for a world of</wm> greater safety for every member of our community."

Becerra also emphasized the need for stricter background checks
