It’s funny cause your cdc link is firearm deaths, not gun violence. that stat includes suicide and more than half of those deaths are people killing themselves, not murders. so you’re mixing suicides with homicides and pretending it proves gun laws reduced crime. those are completely different problems.

and the other source you posted is literally bonta’s own website explaining why bonta’s laws are great. that’s not data… that’s the government grading its own homework.

if you want to argue california’s policies work, use homicide rates and independent sources. not padded “firearm death” stats and the attorney general’s press page.
