They will do anything except properly regulate guns huh
No, California already does lots of gun regulation.
If anything, I think this is the result of a culture in which they’re looking for ways to do more when there’s no much more they can really do without federal changes.
It’s fucked up. California legislators just do not really care about surveillance or civil rights at this this point.
All gun control is about controlling the actions of citizens who already abide by the law.
Poverty, unemployment, drug abuse, mental health, and income inequality are the causes of gun violence. Treat those root causes, and it doesn’t matter how many guns there are.
If gun ownership directly translated to gun violence, Finland and Switzerland would have many times the rates of gun violence as the US. In those countries, the total number of guns owned might be smaller, but the overall percentage of people who own guns is nearly 100%. Those countries don’t have the same problems with gun violence because they address the real root causes of gun violence.
Well, except for actually effective policies like better access to mental health care and reducing socioeconomic inequality. Because that would take actual effort.
but if we built a bunch of housing my property value might go down - average parasitic nimby
this is a fair concern for any politician because landowners are primarily voters, but sometimes politicians need to fo things that are political suicide for the good of what they represent.
It’s California, you ignorant swine.
