California Governor Jerry Brown said Wednesday that authorities had arrested 21,372 people and shut down 985 radical mosques under emergency laws passed in the wake of Tuesday's terrorist attack in San Bernandio.
The governor said authorities had carried out 2,235 raids across the state during the past 24 hours. He said 133,335 weapons were seized, including 102,224 military-grade weapons. Brown said that the number of weapons seized would have been much worse if California didn't have some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.
