Yes, it will effect crime in Ca. It will cause it to increase. The Senate out there is creating a new black market.
On the note of manufacturers shouldn't sell to Ca... well, Ronnie Barrett took the lead in that one and his sales have gone up because of his stance. I hope all manufacturers stop selling to ANY LE or government agency that supports gun control of any kind.
I am building a C2 business and I won't be willing to sell to any LE or arm of any government, any item that isn't legal to sell to any citizen in that jurisdiction. If the government wants something I make, they damned well better be sure that any law abiding citizen can buy it in the exact same configuration without any problems or hassle.
Oh, and I don't give LE discounts.

Good man. Hopefully other businesses will follow that model.
Look, I know that cops have a tough job dealing with the scum of society. But the answer to the problem is not to create an imbalance of weaponry and militarize every podunk police force with a SWAT team.
