My father was a licensed gun dealer in California. He saw the political gamesmanship like I do. Most gun owners I know have no problem with restrictions and regulations, they vote for it, it’s the price of doing business.
Check out the states with less gun control. There are of course outliers like DC and Chicago, those are high density issues.

I didn't vote for ANYONE to tell me what guns I can and can't own. Or I can't own a 30rd magazine for my AR. Or I can't buy a FDE Gen5 G19 but I
can buy a Gen3 in black. Or that I need to go thru a background check every time I want to buy ONE box of ammo. Or that as a law-abiding citizen
I don't have the right to carry without someone else's permission to ensure my family's safety. But Democrats love to do just that and more.
It's funny when you see Gavin Newsome walking around during the summer with a dress shirt and his sleeves rolled up because it's so hot outside.
But you'll see his security detail walking nearby with JACKETS on. In the same heat? Why? It's because they are heavily armed and can't conceal
a PDW wearing just a simple t-shirt like you could if you were simply carrying a pistol. Rules for thee....
Universal background checks? I'm all for it. I don't think you should be able to meet in a Walmart parking lot in Oklahoma and conduct a sale
transaction between two people, even if they are both law-abiding citizens. There has to be some sort of accountability in the event a firearm is
used as part of a crime.
Chicago? Detroit? DC? Gimme a break. Those people living in those areas post record numbers year-round..and bigger on all the holidays. Nobody
puts a gun in their hands except themselves. But Democrats will blame adjoining states..and the gun of course. And let's not forget the gun
manufacturer who made the gun. It's their fault too. Imagine if we went after the auto industry every time some drunk fool with multiple DUIs gets
behind the wheel again and wipes out an entire family but walks away with only a few bumps and bruises. We'd all be back on horses because
the auto industry would be gone.
