In cases like these, we've generally got law breakers carrying guns and shooting up the joint. California already has pretty strict gun laws. So what's the answer?
The gun crowd wantsfewer gun laws, many say they want no laws at all. Certainly restrictions on where lawful gun owners can carry their guns have to go.
Do they honestly believe that would improve the situation? I don't.
The gun control crowd wants ever stricter gun control. The idea being, since we all agree criminals ignore the rules, we need to constrain the lawful gun owners to stop feeding the gun flow into the criminal world. This would have an indirect but beneficial affect.
In addition, laws restricting where gun owners can carry their weapons will minimize those not-infrequent incidents in which one of them goes bad.

ReplyDeleteAnd when will we get to see that beneficial effect in California?

Again, are these incidents minimized in California?
Well, they might be. Who's to day it wouldn't be a whole lot worse if not for the laws they do have. If those laws were federally mandated and applied to all the states, it would be better yet.
ReplyDeleteBesides, as good a rating as the Brady Campaign gives California, I'm sure there's something we could improve there.
