The KCRA 3 documentary “Liberty and Limits: Guns in California” has just been honored as a selection for the Oakland International Film Festival.<\/a> <\/p>\n The documentary takes a look at two pivotal, historical events in California that have influenced the discussion over the Second Amendment, along with the regulation of guns and ammunition.<\/p>\n On May 2, 1967, the Black Panther Party came to the California State Capitol armed in protest of a bill eliminating open carry in California.<\/p>\n | FULL INTERVIEW | Fredrika Newton on the Black Panthers and husband Huey Newton<\/p>\n On Jan. 17, 1989, Patrick Purdy opened fire on a Stockton schoolyard, killing five children and injuring dozens.<\/p>\n | FULL INTERVIEW | Cleveland Elementary shooting survivor Rob Young<\/p>\n Both events were decades apart but left a lasting impact on both sides of the gun debate that “Liberty and Limits” explores. California’s impact on the argument that the 2nd Amendment provides an individual right to bear arms and the regulation of guns and ammo comes directly from these two events that were seen around the globe.<\/p>\n The Oakland International Film Festival runs from Sept. 9 through the 19.<\/p>\n See more coverage of top California stories here<\/a> | Download our app<\/a> | Subscribe to our morning newsletter<\/a> | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel<\/a> | Make KCRA a preferred news source in Google<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Liberty and Limits: Guns in California’ selected for Oakland Film Fest Special Projects Producer OAKLAND, Calif. \u2014 The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[163226,163229,163228,7,28729,1790,70718,14545,473,11139,66599,66602,163227,163225,163223,1301,101,103,102,104,106,105,163224],"class_list":["post-407068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-48d7-a916","tag-82aadde70825","tag-9a6bc97338e8","tag-california","tag-documentary","tag-gun","tag-historical-event","tag-impact","tag-kcra","tag-liberty","tag-liberty-and-limits","tag-limits","tag-mediaid5cb10e2d-9ff9","tag-oakland-film-fest","tag-oakland-film-festival","tag-regulation","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-theoakland-international-film-festival"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
