Just Newsom doing some new smoke & mirrors ballyhoo/agitprop. Don't know that the Navy has ever done Naval Gunfire Support (NGFS) across I-5 onto shore targets at Camp Pendleton. While the Navy would know how to conduct NGFS over an Interstate Highway safely, no NGFS Team, GLO, ship CO, or Fleet Commander would want the headache and PAO nightmare. Back in the early 90s the Navy was told to shut down the two NGFS training facilities on the East Coast at Bloodsworth Island, MD in Chesapeake Bay and at Vieques Island in the Caribbean near Puerto Rico. In 2003, they shut down the only NGFS training facility on the West Coast on Kalo'olawe Island in Hawaii. Have no idea how the Navy does realistic NGFS training anymore, since they no longer can fire at "safe" shore targets. But I can tell you for sure that whatever Navy OS2/OS1 or LT who might have been assigned to a ship's NGFS Team or GLO are breathing a sigh of relief and not worrying about the liver damage that handfuls of Ibuprofen and gallons of coffee might do, as that's the only way to get through an NGFS mission ('68, '69, '70-71, '76, '84, '90-'91).
Newsom was trying to make political points. The Lamestream media didn't cover it. The Salem Media Group did cover it. Fox might have had a bit on it, I can't remember.
Gavin Newscum is the governor of the lowest-info voters in the nation. They only believe what the DemoRat machine tells them. Add to that he's running for President with no real accomplishments except excrement and needles on the street with the homeless encampments. As the epitome of the "rules for thee but not for me" (remember the French Laundry?) he's a poor alternative to anyone the Republicans will run in 2028.
In other words, more propaganda from a man who wouldn't know the truth if it smacked him in the butt.
Just Newsome needing his diapers changed. The man is scum and everything always has to be about him.

It's Newsom stomping his feet and holding his breath to get attention. Embarrassing.
Here's a link to the Salem Media article. NewScum accused Vance of wanting to shut down I-5.

And if I-5 were closed there, the detour would be over 150 miles.
Typical DemonRat malicious compliance.
I will file this away with my examples of Irish democracy for possible future use.
