Ah, California - how's all that disarming working out for you?
Well, one could address crime (e.g., here) or one can continue to make meaningless laws that will disarm those who could defend themselves. Let's just wish away all the trouble, let's just pretend that all those criminals are really good people who commit crimes because law-abiding citizens have access to legal firearms.
In the end, our choices are pretty clear, even if we do not like them: Either address the conditions that lead some people to commit crime or dedicate ourselves to eradicating those who commit crimes. Punishing the law-abiding armed citizen for the failures of a society and culture is disingenuous.
And it will not work. It will not curtail crimes and unlike the sheep of Britain or Australia, Americans will not line up to have their firearms confiscated.
