So....sadly for the anti gunners, and good news for those who support the right to self defense.....more guns have been sold in California in 2014, and both the gun murder rate and the gun accident rate have gone down....not up.....
So, guns don't increase crime, and they don't increase gun accidents.......even in California....

CA Handgun Sales Skyrocket Gun-Related Homicides Plummet
Handgun sales in California broke a 21-year-old record in 2014, and at the same time, firearm-related murders fell to their lowest rate in over 20 years.
Moreover, accidental gun deaths decreased as well.
According to The Sacramento Bee, a record-breaking 510,000 handguns were sold in the state of California in 2014, easily breaking the previous record of 433,000 handguns sold in 1993. The rise in handgun sales reflects a national surge that was the result of “calls for more gun control in respo
nse to several mass shootings.”
a Congressional Research Service (CRS) study showing that an increasing rate of private gun ownership nationally, over a 15-year period, correlated with a sharply declining “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide” rate.
During the CRS study period, Americans went from owning 192 million guns in 1994 to owning 310 million guns in 2009. At the same time, the “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide” rate fell from 6.6 per 100,000 Americans in 1993 to 3.6 per 100,000 in 2000 and finally to 3.2 in 2011.
