California is known for its sweeping gun control laws — something John Parkin knows all too well.
"As they keep tacking on these little laws every time they move along, it makes it really tough for people that want to exercise their Second Amendment right the ability to know what's legal and what's not legal," he told CBS News Bay Area."I don't know why the state doesn't trust the people of California," Parkin added."I think it's about control.
In the wake of a string of mass shootings in California, lawmakers are racing to propose legislation that further restricts gun ownership. To date, California has more than 100 active gun laws. State Sen. Anthony Portantino has sponsored a handful of gun control legislation and declared the push is not to take"someone's Second Amendment away. We're making sure that the Second Amendment is properly applicable to people who weren't getting a concealed carry permit."
