California leads the nation in gun control, and FBI stats show the Golden State also led the nation in “active shooter incidents” in 2021 and 2023.
California gun controls include an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, universal background checks, gun registration requirements, a red flag law, a 10-day waiting period on gun purchases, a concealed carry permit requirement, a ban on campus carry for self-defense, a ban on K-12 teachers being armed for classroom defense, a ban on licensed concealed carriers being armed for self-defense in “sensitive places,” an excise tax on gun and ammo sales, and much more.
