In regards to the Shooting in Isla Vista, California in May of 2014. The Hoplos are all-in for the standard "because guns" and "you shouldn't have the RIGHT to own anything that MIGHT cause harm to my poor sweet innocent child (who is 22 and been in and out of the court system and/or mental health system for the last 10 years)
It should be very telling to everyone that in Brady A-rated California, the top state in this nation for thorough gun control, their laws still did not prevent a crazy person from getting a gun.
California has EVERYTHING the Hoplos say will "fix the problem":
1. Universal background checks? Check.........didn't stop the shooter
2. Very strong mental health requirements for gun ownership and possession? Check...didn't stop the shooter.
3. Full registration? Check.....is there an echo in here?
4. Waiting periods before purchasing a firearm? Check.....yes, I think there is an echo in here.
5. Magazine restrictions? Check......echo-co-co
and yet............NONE of those FIXES......STOPPED the bad guy with the gun.
