Better border control. Oh wait, California is not a country, so focusing on it's state laws is misleading when it's part of a country that has quite lax gun laws in some parts.

Even worse, you can sidestep most of those laws simply by buying out of state with a FFL. Sherrif departments around here hand them out to anyone even remotely conservative. I have a friend from deep oakland who bought a maga hat specifically for when he went to apply for his FFL. Lo and behold, legal suppressors, extended magazines, and all the modified guns he can afford.

We still control the border between states pretty strictly in California. Though we aren't looking for guns; we're looking for plants and animals that might be invasive.

Not really. There is a checkpoint, but it's been years since I've been stopped there. I travel to Cali 4 or 5 times a year, both through I80 and I15.
