"right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law " Ca constitution does not guarantee its citizens the right to keep and bear arms, the only reason they can't deny the right is because we are still part of the US.

"Applicants for a gun owner’s licence in Switzerland are required to establish a genuine reason to possess a firearm, for example hunting, target shooting, self-defence, and collection" self defence and collection is the main reason the majority of Californians own firearms.

"An applicant for a firearm licence in Switzerland must pass a background check which considers mental health, criminal and domestic violence records" so does CA.

"Permits for carrying in public are issued only restrictively.
n Switzerland, carrying a concealed firearm in a public place is allowed only with proof of genuine need and tangible danger, following mental health, criminal record and good character background checks, and after passing a police examination in firearm law and handgun safety " so does CA.

"private possession of semi-automatic assault weapons is permitted under licence" Ca was the first state to ban assault weapons in 1989. that law is still in effect and was just made stricter on july 1st 2016.

the majority of our semi auto firearms require a bullet button to release the magazine. the bullet button was banned on july 1st 2016.

as of july 1st 2016 all residents of Ca must pass a background check to purchase ammo, we can not purchase ammo online, we must pay 50 dollars for the background check, and we are limited on the amount of ammo we can purchase in a year.
