so should bats, knives, cars, ropes, chains, bottles rocks, etc, also be heavily regulated?

Currently in the state of California the following restrictions are in place

1.You may only purchase one handgun per month

2. magazine capacity is limited

3. ban on all rifles with folding stocks, pistol grips, flash suppressors, etc.

4. state and federal background checks for all sales

5. Licensing required for individual purchase or possession of a handgun

6. safety training required for handgun ownership or individual possession (possession without somebody present who has passed said training)

7. Ten day waiting period on all gun sales

8. Handguns are required to meet certain safety standards (drop test, and firing performance test)

9. All firearms sold are required to come with a state approved lock

10. State law requires new handgun models introduced in 2006 to have either a loaded-chamber indicator or a magazine safety disconnect, and by 2007 newly introduced handgun models must have both devices.

11. any weapon capable of being concealed must be carried unloaded in a locked container other than the glove box while traveling in a vehicle.

These restrictions are in addition to those already enacted by the federal government. Again it's not the guy who goes into your local gun shop and purchases a gun that you should be worried about, it's the kid who buys one out of some guys trunk on the corner that you need to worry about, and no law that you pass is gonna stop that guy from getting his hands on a gun, especially when I can go out into my garage and build a single shot gun that will kill you just as dead as one I go buy.
