Gun control laws

TexasRedNeck:
Another example of gun control laws working in CA. Prayers for those affected. We’ll see if the media talks about high cap magazine bans and mag release restrictions as it sounds like the shooter had many illegal items.

yeah, I want to hear how they are going to spin a high capacity assault magazine and a .45cal hand gun

It’ll be Trumps fault if it was a .45 - just saying!

From the reports at Fox News the gunman acted illegally, using a 30+ round mag in a Glock 21. I believe that carries a double death penalty, which supersedes (slightly) the punishment for insulting a Kali-gay person

And as a caveat, nothing about this is funny. Eleven dead civilians, one dead LEO, the fact that gun control laws never work, the fact that the shooter had been a Marine, the fact that PTSD was mentioned (as a factor?) or the trauma to the kids who watched that unfold.

I listened to Fox reporting just now that this young Marine did seven months in the Helmand province at the same time I was there. I wonder what's the odds that I gave him a lift over to Leatherneck, their FOB from Kandahar?

Fox said that was a particularly bad time. I found that odd. There were in excess of 10,000 marines over there along with several brigades of British. They had tanks, drones, fighters, you name it. In the years preceding that time there was one Army Special Forces detachment in central Helmand and about half as many Brits, oh, and 6-10 US Helos painted in camouflage, sporting mini guns who were bringing it to those Taliban bastards on a daily basis. I wonder why it was worse for the Marines that it was for the few of us who had to prosecute that whole valley for years with no help???

I read some of the comments at the bottom of the NY Times page, on this tragedy, and it made my head hurt; " We need mandatory background checks, magazine bans, blah blah blah". It's like they don't even realize how restrictive CA is, and high cap mags are already banned, and there was not a single person pointing it out....freakin echo chamber.
