"The fact that they think that all this crime is caused by guns is ridiculous," El Paso County Commissioner Stan VanderWerf told Fox News Digital. "It's not caused by the guns at all, it's caused by evil intent – these laws turn law-abiding gun owners into criminals. But … the point is to reduce gun ownership. The point is to eliminate points of sale to make it harder to purchase, own and procure a gun.
"If the Democrats in the legislature had their way, they would get rid of guns altogether. Because they know that they're up against the Second Amendment, they're following a lot of processes that the state of California has done – they slowly close things off on the fringes and then slowly close into the middle."
