Sacramento mass killing

Posted by David Hardy · 10 April 2022 01:48 PM

Predictably, it's being used as a call for more gun control. Even though it happened in a state which Brady Campaign consistently ranks as having the most restrictive gun regulations in the country.

It turns out one of the arrested shooters was on the streets only because, after being sentenced to ten years of assault with great bodily injury, he was given early release, over the prosecutor's objections that he is a violent criminal who "has no regard for his victims" and no respect for the law.

Add in that the one gun found at the scene was both stolen and converted to full auto, and the event is more like a demonstration of why California's gun laws, indeed their entire approach to crime, is completely moronic.

The one question to ask is how will these new laws have prevented this? The answer is that they will do nothing other than add to the hordes of expensive bureaucrats feeding on the taxpayers. Biden's proposals are idiot-signaling at it's finest. They accomplish nothing while making the soi-disant Progressives FEEL virtuous.

New laws won't prevent anything, but that doesn't matter one bit. Logic, statistics, history, or critical thinking have nothing to do with the positions of the anti- gun zealots. You might as well debate religious doctrine with the Westboro Baptist Church or Saudi Religious Police. Lying, manufacturing evidence, and malicious prosecution are all justified as part of the catechism. Responsibility for bad and/or unintended consequences? Fat chance.
It is one of the reasons I don't do that dance with the true believers any more. Only a very few who are legitimately undecided are worth the time.
