California city dwellers are a lot like the folk in England, they don't have gun psychosis religion. In most areas where folk are well off, nobody owns or thinks about guns any more than they do bows and arrows or flint and steel or raccoon hats. I am not a normal Californian, mind you. I like want or practice all of the above but I'm a hoarder and like to collect things and I like acquiring survival skills. You never know when the Republicans will finally destroy the nation.
But anyway, without a gun psychosis, and the altered reality fear and fantasy that a gun is any day now going to save you and your bacon, people don't exercise and stimulate their 'fear of gun loss' neurons that gun psychotic has formed by the billions.
So, when gun rights are restricted, normal folk in the state don't give a shit because they don't own them, don't want to, and never even think about the issue. It, therefore, does not exist. Either the world will devolve to the place where everybody is going to have to kill many many times a day to survive, or evolve to a point where personal safety from the violence of others will become a non issue.
But what really terrifies a psycho, gun psychos included, is the idea that the person standing next to him is not similarly mentally diseased. He only feels save when he thinks he has herd immunity, everybody around him also carries a gun, so when the terrorist breaks into the room, his head will instantly explode in lead.
