(16,974 posts)California has some of the most strict laws out there, 100% background checks, magazine limits, assault weapon ban, waiting periods, on top of the federal laws. And if a person is motivated they will get access to a weapon by stealing it or black market which I think is also illegal. Not to mention three of the murders were by knife (almost never mentioned, why) and he tried to use his car for others.
so the question is, what NEW laws do you want and what happens if those laws are not enforced also like these other hundreds of laws already on the books.
and by the way the Sandy Hook murderer did not have an assault weapon as it was AWB compliant as it had the legal cosmetic changes to comply with the state laws.
I have no problems with UBC and reasonable magazine limits. I think we should fully enforce current laws to include purchase attempts by prohibited persons and straw purchasers. It would do the other side better to try not to inflate numbers using suicides and saying 19-20 year olds a children. A suicide at 2AM on a school playground with no children are teachers present is now a school shooting the same as the murders at Sandy Hook or Columbine. States are free to regulate the sale of weapons within the state and many laws have now been upheld.
