First of all, the first part of my comment was in reference to your statement, "California has the MOST restrictive FUN law in the nation."  As for other countries and how strict their gun laws are, it doesn't matter.  There's not a criminal on the planet who can't access a gun if he wants one bad enough.  Gun laws only affect people who obey laws.

If laws worked, that shooting in Virginia today wouldn't have happened.  I'm pretty sure it was against the law.
