    No, California already does lots of gun regulation.

    If anything, I think this is the result of a culture in which they’re looking for ways to do more when there’s no much more they can really do without federal changes.

    It’s fucked up. California legislators just do not really care about surveillance or civil rights at this this point.

      Well, except for actually effective policies like better access to mental health care and reducing socioeconomic inequality. Because that would take actual effort.

          this is a fair concern for any politician because landowners are primarily voters, but sometimes politicians need to fo things that are political suicide for the good of what they represent.
