CA’s Gun Control Laws Don’t Stop Homemade Guns And Never Will

By Tom Knighton

California has the strictest gun control laws in the United States. While they look downright liberal to someone from the UK, they’re draconian by American standards. In fact, it’s hard to believe that many of them would hold up to constitutional muster if they found themselves before the Supreme Court.

Yet violence continues to persist despite the myriad of gun control laws on the books.

It seems that part of the reason is that gun control regarding the buying and selling of guns cannot and will not stop criminals from obtaining guns. Even if they can stop them from buying them–something they’re unable to do–they’ll just make them.

Several media outlets in California have teamed up with the anti-Second Amendment organization, The Trace, to investigate and write about homemade guns in California. They claim that BATFE sources say 30 percent of guns confiscated in California are homemade. Given there are over 400 million guns in private hands in the United States, and the border between California and other states is porous, and only lightly regulated; it seems an extraordinary number.
