CA Already Has Biden’s Gun Control and Many Mass Shootings

California has many of the most prominent aspects of President Joe Biden’s (D) gun control plan but is, nonetheless, plagued by a steady flow of mass shootings.

In fact, a spate of California mass shootings in 2019 led the Mercury News to ask, “Does gun control work?”

Two of Biden’s chief gun control proposals are universal background checks and an “assault weapons” ban. UC Davis noted that California adopted “comprehensive background check” policies in 1991, and Southern California Public Radio reported that the state’s “Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act of 1989 became law on January 1, 1990.”

Democrats such as Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) described universal background checks as the “North Star” for gun controllers; the crème de la crème of all gun controls.

Similar talk is heard about “assault weapons” bans, as Democrats employ “weapons of war” phraseology in an effort to convince Americans to give up entire categories of guns.
