Reminder: California has some of the toughest anti gun laws of any state.

After listening to Gavin Newsome's grinning idiocy, I could not help myself.

The gunman, Sam Cassidy, owned a house where houses sell for a million bucks. He had a good union job in light rail. He burned down his house and then shot and killed his co-workers and then himself. But the Governor is sure it's about legal gun ownership.

In 2017, there were roughly 40,000 gun murders. In 2016 there were 625,000 abortions. Think about that. Over 15x more fetuses killed than gunshot killings. (I used the most recent numbers I could find)

I wonder what percentage of Americans want to ban weapons versus the percentage that want to ban abortions.

Doc, I find it to be a huge coincidence that I read this today. It is a reprint of a May 19,2021 editorial

Regardless of the complete change of subject, and back to my point; we already, one day later, have the President and others attacking law abiding gunowners over the horrible actions of this sick jackass. Politicking on the still warm bodies of the victims.

They are idiots..and I truly fear it is going to come down to legal officials trying to seize weapons from legal owners and someone is going to die, likely on both sides.

A confiscation attempt has catastrophe written all over it.

Let’s be honest, the gun restrictions aren’t about saving lives, but controlling lives.

Certainly they are not that ignorant to believe control would stop all these incidents.

Stopping shootings is not their goal.

True I keep trying to use common sense.

Biden (BRANDON) says 'ghost gun' crackdown should be 'just the start' on gun control: 'None of this absolves Congress'

Gun control legislation is likely to remain stalled in Congress (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-says-ghost-gun-ban-just-start-on-gun-control)

President Biden has had incremental success at implementing gun control through executive action, rolling out a rule last year to regulate pistol-stablizing braces, directing his Justice Department to target gun traffickers, and announcing a new crackdown on "ghost guns" Monday

Stopping shootings is not their goal.

BINGO!

NYC is a place where guns are generally illegal. They should enforce their own laws. Let’s Go Brandon!

[catmanjack]

Criminals will get guns no matter the controls.
