I’m on some outdoor forums and the most common complaints I hear about “Commiefornia” relate to gun control. They like their guns, and despise anyone who tries to interfere with that. The rest is mostly side issues.
I live in CA and every time I go camping in the Sierra Nevada I can hear people popping off shots nearby. These low IQ conservatives from elsewhere think guns are banned here or something. They are not.
Guns aren’t banned in CA but the laws are stricter here than in some other states. There’s also an element of yuppie elitism associated with the gun control advocates (and Democrats in general) which doesn’t go over with the gun crowd either. I’ve been wanting to look at the book “Dignity” by Chris Arnade which is supposed to be helpful in understanding this.

Why are so many USian against gun control?
I live in Europe. I can own handguns, semiauto rifles, including assault types and other sporting/hunting guns. I cannot modify them.
Magazines are limited to 3 rounds, although procuring/3D printing larger ones is trivial, but if I get caught with one + the rifle, I’m are fucked.
I have to pass a physical and psych test.
I must attend a course which is essentially gun discipline and safety.
My guns are registered, Including ballistic samples.
If I sell a gun the police must be notified, and the buyer vetted.
My guns must be kept in a locked, approved, gun locker.
When in a car, the gun must be in a carry box, in the trunk, and munitions in the glove box.
Except for some details please explain how this is fundamentally different from owning and driving a car.
Because Murica that’s why, They equate control to restriction. Which is Projection
Because a lot of them know that if there was any kind of safety or training requirements, or a psyche or physical test, they would fail it.
