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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] frongt@lemmy.zip 31 points 2 months ago (2 children) I think this is the result of a culture in which they're looking for ways to do more Well, except for actually effective policies like better access to mental health care and reducing socioeconomic inequality.

Poverty, unemployment, drug abuse, mental health, and income inequality are the causes of gun violence. Treat those root causes, and it doesn't matter how many guns there are. If gun ownership directly translated to gun violence, Finland and Switzerland would have many times the rates of gun violence as the US. In those countries, the total number of guns owned might be smaller, but the overall percentage of people who own guns is nearly 100%. Those countries don't have the same problems with gun violence because they address the real root causes of gun violence. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dookieman12@piefed.social -3 points 2 months ago It's California, you ignorant swine. permalink fedilink source parent
