Third, California already imposes all of the restrictions that gun control activists typically demand. It has universal background checks, and all private firearm transfers must be conducted through a licensed dealer.
Residents wanting to purchase a firearm must first obtain a five-year Firearm Safety Certificate, which requires passing a written test administered by a state-certified instructor.
Firearms dealers can only sell handguns listed on the state’s Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale, and the vast majority of semi-automatic rifles are prohibited as “assault weapons” because they have magazines exceeding a 10-round capacity.
All firearms purchases require a 10-day waiting period, and there is de facto registration of all firearms.
Despite this, not only was the woman able to commit a “mass shooting” (in the words of the media), but California has not objectively benefited from restricting the Second Amendment rights of its citizens.
Since 2000, when California first began imposing more restrictive firearms legislation, the state has suffered through more mass public shootings — defined as four or more individuals shot in a public place, excluding the shooter and gang-related incidents — than any other state.
It had three times as many mass shootings as Texas, which is roughly equal in population but has an F rating from the Brady Campaign.
It also continues to have an almost identical violent crime rate to Texas, even though Texas has a 15 percent higher rate of individual gun ownership and its citizens can more easily access and carry those firearms.
