California’s strict gun laws don’t eliminate violence, but they have helped

"But Saturday night’s horrific mass killing at a Monterey Park dance hall shows how the state’s strict gun laws are incapable of fully preventing gun violence in a country where gun ownership is widely considered a constitutionally protected right, [b]firearms move freely between states[/b] with vastly different regulations and gun-control measures are dotted with exceptions."

"Still, with its restrictive state laws, California has among the lowest firearms mortality rates in the nation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It ranked seventh lowest nationwide with 8.5 deaths per 100,000 people in 2020 — well below the nationwide average of 13.7. Texas posted a rate of 14.2. Georgia had a rate of 17.7. The highest rate was in Mississippi, at 28.6 deaths per 100,000 people."

But, shocker, the NRA and their crazies oppose gun control at every turn. So people continue to die. And those people who support guns have blood on their hands. [/quote]
It's not about other states.  It's about illegal guns flowing freely when it comes to organized crime and criminals being able to get access to weapons.  What do you propose? Do you think that if you confiscate every single handgun from every single household across the US crime will stop and criminals won't find ways to obtain weapons? They have caches of weapons most likely, ghost guns that are untraceable.  [/quote]
