California doesn’t control it’s own borders. For any gun control law to have any shot at being effective it has to be national.

Considering the degree to which the USA is utterly saturated with guns, it would also require an incredibly long period of time to take effect. Basically in the short to medium term it’s always too late. The time to have done something would have been immediately after World War One, but we went after alcohol instead.

There was no major demand for such an action after World War One, and Woodrow Wilson rapidly lost his domestic support by trying to force the Versailles Treaty through the Senate without amendment.
