With the sheer numbers of guns, legal and not in the US already then those with criminal intent won’t be fazed at all
Also, the article gives the Monterey shooting space but that weapon was not concealed

Not that particular one

All what America needs to do is to realize that living is so much better without firearms, greed and power go hand in hand and until politicians and firearm manufacturers are under control things will not improve.

California will need to build a wall to be able to keep guns out.

California has more than enough guns, wouldn’t help, not to mention the DA’s wont even keep these criminals behind bars.

The gun nutters want no laws like in the wild wild west. But unfortunately, no matter how many sensible gun laws it does not mean much if the next state has none.

California has an incarceration rate of 549 per 100,000 people (including prisons, jails, immigration detention, and juvenile justice facilities), meaning that it locks up a higher percentage of its people than almost any democracy on earth.
239,000 people from California are behind bars

California has over 400K firearms. Regardless of the laws, people with firearms will not be turning them in. Distrust of the govt is part of American culture. It is also why there's no central list of gun owners. We don't trust our federal govt. I'd bet there are Californians with now-illegal firearms or attachments that weren't illegal 20 yrs ago, in their gun safes and closets.
You seem to think that every American sees and uses a gun every day. We don't. Firearms aren't part of my daily life and when I head out for work or shopping, it is unlikely I'll see one. Heck, it is unlikely I'll see any law enforcement people or cars either. In 20 drives in the area, I might see a cop-car once.
Wishing for all the firearms to magically go away won't do anything. American's aren't going to vote to have all guns made illegal either and they won't repeal the 2nd amendment. Wishing for that won't make it happen.
What can be done is to have common sense laws about limiting accessibility, mandated reoccurring safety training, and locked storage with new laws that have some teeth. Anything more and those proposed laws will be DOA.

California ranks 31st in adult incarcerations per 100,000.
There are 50 states in the US.
Louisiana ranks first.

Some one has to say it so I will. the more you try to take something away the more people will do the opposite. Look at the Prohibition in america 100 years ago. shockingly I know that was when people consumed the most ale in any time in american history. Trying to take something away makes people want to still do it at a higher rate, and that is a fact and every one knows its true.

True. But irrelevant. Nobody is taking anything away.
