Texas and Florida have a dramatically larger firearm death rate as California. Common sense gun control works.

"In 2005, California’s firearm mortality was much more in line with other large states like Texas and Florida. Since then, California has tightened its gun laws. Florida and Texas have gone the opposite direction.

During that time period, California’s firearm mortality rate dropped, while the rate has increased dramatically in Florida and Texas."
