Don’t let the right tell you gun control does not work because it does.

i didnt know that one of the symptoms of covid is the desire to be violent ... headache ,fever, loss of taste and smell ,and violent tendencies ?? Gun violence hits 15-year high in L.A., taking lives and erasing hard-fought gains
Lol and here you are giving data from pandemic years. It’s stupid. This has already been addressed in my sourced link. Crime is up all over the country. In any other years, California is below the national average for gun violence. Far less than Texas’s average. Your own link points out the reduction of gun violence in years before 2021 lol
 
California is a shining example of success for curbing gun violence with gun control legislation. It doesn’t come from one specific policy - but a combination of several.

“For the last 20, maybe even 25 years — except for the two years of the pandemic, which have increased homicides and suicides across the country — our rates of firearm violence have trended downward,” said Wintemute, who directs the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento. “And this has been at a time when most of the rates in the rest of the country have gone up.”

California’s rate of firearm mortality is among the nation’s lowest, with 8.5 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2020, compared with 13.7 per 100,000 nationally and 14.2 per 100,000 in Texas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported. And Californians are about 25% less likely to die in mass shootings, compared with residents of other states, according to a recent Public Policy Institute of California analysis.

….California has done a lot to prevent high-risk people from purchasing firearms. We’ve broadened the criteria for keeping guns out of the hands of people who pose a danger to themselves or others due to mental illness. If you’re convicted of a violent misdemeanor in California, you can’t have a gun for the next 10 years; that offense has to be a felony in most states….

….We require background checks, and not just from licensed retailers; in most states, purchases from private parties require no background checks or record keeping of any kind. We have a system, that we’re evaluating now, for getting guns back from “prohibited persons” — people who have been convicted of violent crimes or who are facing domestic violence restraining orders. And we enforce these policies, unlike a lot of other states.

Crime is rampant in California now. If anybody tells you different then they are lying to you.

Texas and California had identical gun murder statistics in 2015.


California and Texas both had a gun murder rate of 3.3 out of 100,000 people.
Gross firearm murders in California were 1,275, while Texas had 906 gross firearm murders.
 
Go ahead, all Democrats voluntarily turn in your guns to government. Put a sign in your yard proudly proclaiming your home is gun free. Hang a gun free pride flag. Nothing stopping you, lead by example. You could do this tomorrow.

There now Dems don't have anything to bitch about.
They could do it today and could have done it but they will not as long as you possess a gun that could be used against them…

Gun control worked perfectly here.

That plus, all one has to do is look at the rest of the world and what they've done to control the crisis. What crisis ? Right, they don't have one, we never seem to learn from our mistakes.

Why you ever blame criminals and the politicians who keep them on the streets?

The problems in the US come from the US being the most wealthy but most greedy country on the planet.
We have the most inequity, corruption, crime, greed, materialism, etc.
The rest of the world has much better social services, like universal health care, job opportunities, housing opportunities, education opportunities, etc. We don't even have public hospitals or unions. Instead we have the largest % imprisoned in the world. That means we are the most police state.
 
I don't think I have easy access.
Try to buy a handgun or AR15 in another developed country then complain you don't have easy access. Or, for that matter, an over/under shotgun or a bolt action rifle. Then complain you don't have easy access.

I really do not care abut gun laws in other nations. This is the United States and people here have a constitutional right to own firearms. I like that and do not want to see that right take away.

I personally do not find the gun laws in the Free State of Florida oppressive by any means.
