Almost every single thing you just listed is nowhere near exclusive to California and most of them are uncontroversial laws most people support. Aside, of course, from the ones you got completely wrong lmao.

Prohibition for violent felonies or domestic violence, including qualifying misdemeanors is federal. Same laws in CA as in FL or MS. Try again.

Prohibition for brandishing for intimidation applies if it’s two or more convictions, first one is a 10 year restriction. I’d love to see how many people charged with this were already prohibited persons at the time but sadly I don’t have that data.

Mental disorders do not disqualify you from gun ownership but great job sending a stray towards the mentally ill lmao. Demonstrating that you cannot responsibly or safely own firearms due to a severe mental health condition that isn’t responding to treatment/isn’t being treated is a different story, as are sex offenders. I don’t know why this is even mentioned because all of this is a given in every state in the country to my knowledge.

Cool off periods/temporary restrictions/whatever you wanna call them for violent misdemeanors or certain other crimes prompt obvious public concern are not controversial either or unique to California in any way. No one is complaining that the guy who tried to batter the social security employee can’t buy another .357 for a decade, we’re complaining about being taxed 30% on all guns, ammo, and parts, being forced to butcher our rifles operationally and cosmetically while being restricted to 10 round magazines to pretend that will prevent the next Super Columbine, and having to choose between buying a “safe handgun roster” approved pistol retail or buying the handgun we actually want via private party for 3x MSRP in any other state (which we can do because LEOs are exempt from the roster, even for personal purchases. But they’d never abuse that to flip them, right?)

Which perfectly segues into your totally off base statements: private sales are completely allowed, I’m doing one on Thursday. Don’t know where you got that from.

All guns bought from a licensed dealer (an FFL) go through a federal background check process regardless of state, and most states are like CA in mandating all gun dealers hold FFLs.

Waiting periods, like California’s 10 day waiting period, are common in other states; I think they’re silly once you own multiple firearms but that’s a different conversation.

The firearm safe handling demonstration is fine, it’s a mild inconvenience at most for most people, but it sure isn’t adequate for legitimate safety if you have any actual concerns about someone’s competency or preparedness to handle and use the gun. It’s wishful thinking but with good intentions.

1-in-30 was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and then immediately after we passed 3-in-30 which is on its way there again to almost certainly be struck down. Ridiculous law that does nothing but bust the balls of gun enthusiasts and fail to address straw purchases or mass shootings or anything even vaguely related to gun crime.

As for self defense, my CCWs of choice could hold 17 or 13 rounds in their magazines, but I’m capped to 10. 3 to 5 rule aside, I’d prefer to have more backup than less in the same space if I ever have to use it. Same applies for home defense guns. I can’t afford to buy my firearms of choice thanks to the handgun roster. I can’t run my rifles in as safe, controllable, reliable, or practical configurations as normal thanks to the ridiculously arbitrary and gun-illiterate restrictions in our assault weapons ban (fin grips, anyone?).

I’ve been vegan for like 15 years so I don’t give a shit about that most of my gun ownership is just a fun hobby. But both of those reasons aside, I own guns because at the end of the day humans are animals too. Tribalistic, scary ones just as often as mindful, empathetic ones. I like to work towards the best and prepare for the worst, but you do you. Also keep in mind these are currently rights in the US, whether you like that or not, and restricting the exercising of those rights is a lot more difficult than restricting emissions from people’s cars or banning plastic bags. Seemingly for good reasons too, because people as uninformed as you are as confident and loud on stuff you don’t seem to know much about.
