Despite California’s Mass Shootings, Biden Wants To Emulate Its Gun Laws
RealClear Politics ^ | 03/15/2023 | John R. Lott Jr.

Posted on 03/15/2023 1:50:15 PM PDT by VictimsRightsPro2a

President Biden traveled to Monterey Park, California, the site of a mass public shooting that left 11 dead in January, to announce new executive actions on gun control. He touts the proposals as necessary “to reduce gun violence and make our communities safer.” But California already has all the gun control laws that Biden put forward, and yet it has a higher per capita rate of mass public shootings than the rest of the country.

Measures already in place include background checks on all transfers of firearms, “red flag” gun confiscation laws, and an assault weapon ban. Even if Biden’s ideal background check law had been in effect and perfectly enforced, it wouldn't have stopped one mass public shooting this century.

Biden exaggerated the support for his background check proposals. The surveys he cites compress long, complicated proposals into one-sentence summaries. But when people are told that these laws would turn someone into a felon just for temporarily lending a handgun to a woman who is being threatened by a stalker, survey respondents answer that they oppose the regulation.

It’s not the law or the people. It’s the guns. They’ll never say they want to take them all away. They’re smarter than Linda who wants to ban all abortions. He’s working for them-get it?

I had one of those AKs. It was exceptional.

The picture is of a Bulgarian AK semi. It has a forged receiver (look at the long groove below the charging handle). Unlike AKs from that era, the trigger pull was very good. It was accurate (2" at 100yds using soviet era ammunition). I sold it to finance my daughter's wedding.

Though the stock looked ugly and awkward, it was pretty good. The connecting piece between the grip and the stock made it easy to adjust the stock position with the heal of the hand.

I hope the marriage lasts. Good rifles, indeed. I’m sure that Joe thinks they were banned out of existence for 10 years.

Biden: “Because Blue America has so many, and such large, Blue America problems, then we must bring to all of America these Blue America problems.”

Thanks Gail, yeah I live in Washington state, at least in a red county where we hope all the liberals stay on their side of the mountains and leave us alone.

I've been following this proposed law closely and this pro-gun attorney keeps us well-informed about the anti-gun fascism coming out of Olympia.

I don’t see how an EO which is UNCONSTITUTIONAL reminds me of crazy King George 3, is even allowed to stand 1 day. I’m in Tennessee, Red County, dang close to Memphis, and their Blue ideas. I have doc appointments, my little berg has 1 pediatrician. Specialists are all in Memphis or Shelby Co.

Now I have to add my 52 yr old son’s medical trips to it. His Heart Cath last week, was bad, his heart pumps at 85%, 4 blockages, and a Bypass is being set up. I’m the decision maker, as he is single with a 20 yr old son, who hasn’t enough knowledge, nor the right to make them, as long as I’m alive.

Digital Money comes in July with all the Bank failures, not half is being told. These idiot people don’t understand what little privacy we still have will cease to exist. I pulled 90% of my money out of my checking account, and use cash now. I know what a Freaking Depression is.

What happens when they Arrest Trump, Biden’s deals are 100% worse. Another $75 B for Ukraine money laundering. And we are DISARMED? I’M 74, too old to fight.
