| Looks like the gun he used was illegal |
Darn that pesky Constitution with it's love for personal liberty! If only we could live in your utopian dictatorship. |
Do you realize that California shares a border with Mexico? |
good thing we gave open borders |
So you're trying to claim the Asian shooter got his gun from Mexico? Do you have proof of this? |
Honestly, it doesn't really matter. When a country is as awash in guns as ours, it's not going to be too difficult to get a gun, whether illegal or not. |

No one is immune to America’s trash gun culture, it appears. No one except pretty much every female. Seems like we need to do a better job more thoroughly vetting the males that are allowed to access guns. Maybe we need to start locking men up for seeking guns, or banning male gun ownership except where the male’s life is at risk.
All of the people at that club had heartbeats. They had a right to live. |
Thank you PP. You're so correct about this. Such stupid double standards. |
The shooter in CA used a machinegun according to police. Most likely it was a Glock pistol equipped with an add-on “switch” that was designed to be attached to a normal ordinary pistol to cause it to fire automatically. The same switches that have been turning up on lots of guns in DC and other cities. They’re super illegal. They’re not made here, and you can’t buy them in the US. Where do you think they come from, then? They’re made in China, and smuggled into the US from …… Mexico. |
[Citation Needed] That's an unusal claim, given that individuals cannot own Glocks in China. There is no Chinese market for such conversion kits. Where's your evidence that these are being manufactured and imported from China? And where is your evidence that these are being smuggled via Mexico? And where is your evidence that such conversions aren't being done domestically? Particularly given the explosion in ghost guns and other illegal and gray market guns and gun accessories being cranked out by cottage industries all across gun-loving 'Murka? |

California’s strict gun laws don’t eliminate violence, but they have helped "But Saturday night’s horrific mass killing at a Monterey Park dance hall shows how the state’s strict gun laws are incapable of fully preventing gun violence in a country where gun ownership is widely considered a constitutionally protected right, firearms move freely between states with vastly different regulations and gun-control measures are dotted with exceptions." . . . "Still, with its restrictive state laws, California has among the lowest firearms mortality rates in the nation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It ranked seventh lowest nationwide with 8.5 deaths per 100,000 people in 2020 — well below the nationwide average of 13.7. Texas posted a rate of 14.2. Georgia had a rate of 17.7. The highest rate was in Mississippi, at 28.6 deaths per 100,000 people." But, shocker, the NRA and their crazies oppose gun control at every turn. So people continue to die. And those people who support guns have blood on their hands. |
Probably because it might have been local gang related. I am sure if this was some rando psycho shooting people it would have made national news like it always has. But as it stands.. There are shootings happening every day in every major city, most of it crime related. Criminals will always have access to weapons, so will gangs. |
Correction. Week handling of organized crime and flow of weapons to gangs and criminals. Weak handling of crime in general, which seems to be the trend these days, even when it comes to violent crime. |
That PP created a PSA for gun ownership and why 2A is needed. |
