This has more to do with a Lunatic than with gun Control.
Blumenthal is just another self serving Lying Politician.

Liberals will do ANYTHING to get guns banned completely and will let no crisis go to waste until they get their way.

Who needs a soapbox?

Not democrats.

Democrats never miss a chance to climb up on the bodies of the victims to push their leftist agenda.

HOW? Just tell me how that legislation would have prevented it. It wouldn’t!

These anti-gun people are obsessed with passing more and more laws until they ban all guns.

Let these gun-grabbing Nazis keep squealing like greased pigs.

It will translate into more conservatives being elected this Fall.

"This is the problem, bloviating idiot politicians thinking that gun control will solve the problem..."

IMHO, there are three flavors of anti-gun politician:

1. Those who are truly ignorant of the facts, operate on gut feelings, and who, if exposed to the real statistics, and go to the range with responsible firearms owners can be swayed. This is the rarest type.

2. Those blinded by feelings and ideology, who truly believe, and have embraced as an article of faith, that the world will be a better place when guns are illegal. Regardless of the evidence shown them, they will continue to hold their views with the same tenacity sane people cling to the belief that 2+2=4. This is the most common type.

3. Those who know their legislation is all window dressing, and does not make for safer communities, but simply want a disarmed, defenseless, dependent populace.

Every shooting in CA is an excuse for another gun control push. It will never end.

Half of the six killed were dispatched with knives. Only two were killed with guns. One with a car.

If guns were treated like cars in CA, all illegals would also get permits to carry.

Illegals are prime customers for the welfare bureaucracy. What makes you think that the State enforces such laws against them? Illegals do can do most anything they want here.

Hence, driver's licenses for illegals. Or ...accident,summons for no insurance, and no-show for court.
