“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”

- Lyndon Johnson when he signed the 1968 GCA into law.

Gun control enforced against innocent citizens at home who had nothing to do with a shooting as an answer?

Leave it to the Dems to come up with something totally new and fresh as a solution.
I guess that’s why the American people voted them to take over the House. Innovators.

In the 1800’s, there were no:

Background checks

Minimum Age requirements

Storage requirements (heck, gun safes didn’t exist)

Yet killings like this did not happen.

It’s not the guns. To paraphrase Carville, it’s the culture stupid.

If the six of duty officers had been armed, this wouldn’t be so bad.

FU.

It’s your socialist policies in California that led to this shooting.

California has some of the strictest possible gun control laws in the country.

What did they accomplish?

At some point the Democrats will get control of the Senate, House, and WH at the same time. At that point, expect California style gun control to be passed at the federal level.

“veto”

no vetoes on any of this will be necessary as none of this stuff will get past the GOP Senate ... but having the House lets the Dems showcase their extremism and campaign lies ...

Never presume that. The trouble seeds that the Dems and RINOs planted will explode like a bomb sooner than they think.

We need far better dangerous persons control.

Instead of 72 hour holds for “danger to self and others,” I say 72 months, or years.
