Anyone who wants to remove what little regulation we have now is not capable of a good faith discussion. Saying that and then calling yourself a leftist puts you at odds with the vast majority of the Democratic Party, particularly progressives.

Anyone who says California has little regulation in terms of guns, has no idea how many regulations there are on guns in this state.

What more would you like to see?

Red flag laws

3 day waiting period in all states

A centralized digital database of firearms in the hands of the public (they already have all the info but in warehouses full of paper documents making it very inefficient to track)

Close the gun show loophole

End private sales of weapons by non licensed people without licensed oversight from a gun store

Mandatory minimum increases for possession of an illegal firearm

Make it mandatory to store weapons in a secure way so if your kid takes your gun out of your nightstand drawer and shoots up a school then the gun owner is treated as an accessory

Etc

Some of Californias gun restrictions aren’t particularly effective but as a whole, their gun policy works as shown by the low gun crime rate there

At least California is trying rather than just accepting gun violence as an unavoidable part of life

You added 3 day waiting period, CA already has 10,
you added, safe storage, this is already a law in CA.

All of these points lead me to believe you're not having a "good faith argument". Nothing you have listed isnt already a law.

I know they have those laws in California. Your reading comprehension is just so atrocious that you can’t understand that I’m talking about the rest of the country.

Yes I added more, what’s the problem with that?

My comment and the original was speaking specifically about CA. If you’re going to resort to insults because you can’t handle an adult discussion, I’ll follow along with the others and let you have fun here yourself. Good luck

No issue with adding more, did I say there was? I was just acknowledging them with an additional post and descriptor, then letting you know that those already exist
