Mr. Litton, however, could not legally buy a gun because he was a felon. Mr. Honea said investigators believed that the handgun that Mr. Litton used was a homemade, untraceable gun made of parts from different weapons, often called a “ghost gun.”

So, what did California's gun control regime accomplish here?

It suggests that firearms should be decriminalized. Think of the years of sentences and enhancements handed down to people for possessing guns or gun parts they weren't supposed to have, in a system that was found to have incarcerated people to the point of unconstitutionality no less. It still wasn't enough to stop this guy from attacking a school. The shooter was himself a product of California's prisons.
