#1 California will continue to makes changes to its gun laws on a regular basis. They know this will not deter criminals. They aren't even trying to deter criminals.

A Democratic state legislator once told me about a study in Europe. They took a sleeping drug that had been packaged in bottles and put it in blister packs. Suicides using the pills dropped. Turns out some potential suicides were put off by the extra effort getting at the pills.

When he told me this I assumed he was talking about deterring crime. He wasn't. It's about deterring legal firearm ownership. They know that every extra speed bump will result in a percentage drop in gun sales--which is exactly what they are after.

Over time, people get used to whatever speed bumps you have created. So it only works if you constantly create more.
