I’m not certain if you’re referring to the border with Mexico or the rest of the US, but if a weapon is banned in California, it’s also banned to import one into California from another US state.
Setting up checkpoints and checking every car coming in for weapons would be a violation of every citizens’ right to travel, and fourth ammendment right against unreasonable searches.
So, how do you propose to implement “better birder control” without violating the rights of citizens who have committed crime?
I’m simply pointing out that California is part of a wider country therefore some problems can’t be solved by local California legislation. The law must become stricter in the rest of the country as well, though not necessarily as strict as the strictest state.
Until the root causes and societal factors that contribute to violence are addressed, any ban serves only to disarm and criminalize what is an otherwise perfectly law-abiding citizenry.

Fucking birders and their binoculars.
I love how every week this happens, threads are full of “welp, whaddya gonna do?” in the only country where this happends more than once a day.
