Ok, gun nuts. Answer me this.

By all accounts, the weapon used in San Bernardino were legally obtained. But since you have a talent for finding excused to no additional gun control measures, can you please point me to whatever obscure paragraph of subsection whatever to Penal Code X was violated. Because, by golly, if THAT was enforced, the killers would not have been able to buy those guns and the assload of ammunition along with it.

1. Don't hold your breath

waiting for a logical answer.

[hack89]

2. There is no existing law that would have prevented this.nt

[Chan790]

3. ...and you don't see that as a problem?

I do.

[hack89]

5. Short of our right banning and confiscation

there is no law that will prevent this. And that will never happen. Even Diane Feinstein's proposed AWB post Sandy Hook was not retroactive and would not have removed a single rifle from circulation.

4. gun nuts

I can't believe remote control bombs are legal in California.

[RandySF]

6. And they are not.

How many people were killed by bombs?

12. Hello.

Welcome to DU!

7. No laws were broken so no way to have prevented it. And this from a State with some of the

strictest gun control laws in the Country.

[RandySF]

8. Exactly my point. Thank you,

Our laws don't go nearly far enough.

[Waldorf]

9. If you look at California's laws what can be added? Mental health backgrounds added to the FBI

background check? Even the ACLU is against this.

10. Ok

I'll reply, even though we'd probably make more progress without referring to people as "gun nuts" (I believe the 2A supports an individual right and own 1 gun myself - does that mean I'm a "gun nut"?). I haven't seen anyone on this website who completely opposes "additional gun control measures." Yeah, I oppose a gun ban, and also oppose AWB. But I support a number of other measures -- background checks, mandatory training, no firearms for domestic abusers, etc. All that said, you aren't going to keep firearms out of the hands of every person who wants to misuse them. If I could magic away all of the guns in the hands of criminals right now I'd do it, and then I might support a ban on the private ownership of firearms. But I'm not a magician.

13. Thank you!

100% agree!

11. California has some of the most burdensome gun control laws in the country.

This horrible incident just helps prove gun control doesn't work. In fact, California's "may issue" carry laws are probably partly responsible for the overall death toll. It could have been stopped sooner. See below.

14. America has failed at Responsible Gun Ownership 101.

15. Turn them all in

Feinstein was right.
