      I don't think that quote at the end was from Mr Jefferson.. But other than that, awesome film.

        I am a Californian and I don't get it.
        California's politicians and unionized government employees are a crime gang that makes the Mexican drug cartels look like a Girl Scout Troop in comparison.

                          I love the message, but I'm also a sci-fi geek, and technically for the Gun-Free zone signs or the gun to have any effect on the timeline, the time-travelling dude needs to go back to BEFORE she was shot to place those items. Otherwise he's just rewinding to before he placed those items. Basic time travel 101.

                            The point is that signs do not stop criminals. Even a multitude of signs will not stop a single murder. We may conclude that such signs even represent to the criminal an attractive target for a lack of defense. The latter is brought home in the last scene where the intended target has instead defended herself. The criminal was there even though there were many signs. Criminals by their very definition do not obey the law nor signs to that effect.

                            The quote at the end of the video is from Cesare Beccaria from his book, Essay On Crimes And Punishments, published 1774, translated to English in 1775. Beccaria was a contemporary of the founding fathers and his writings did have an influence on them. The quote is sometimes attributed to T. Jefferson because he included it in one of his books.

                              The repetition presented by him not going far enough back in time was to showcase that his multiple efforts were not enough. Repetition burned the point into the consciousness of the viewer.

                              It could be said that him screwing up the time travel (repeated efforts until finally getting it right) was a foreshadow of him finally getting it right by putting a loaded pistol next to her instead of wasting his time with silly signs.
