"Once upon a time, the NRA supported the concept of background checks."

" I would react just as Richard Martinez has."

The shootings being discussed, happened in California.

California has:

Waiting periods which the shooter went through.

Universal Background checks (background checks on ALL gun sales) which the shooter passed for every single firearm.

Registration. The shooters guns were registered.

Magazing capacity laws. He used CA legal magazines.

An assault weapons ban.

What do you expect congress to do beyond those, which would prevent such tragedies?
