California’s strict gun laws failed to stop mass shooting

Confronted by such lopsided support for gun control and such startling Congressional inaction, I would take Roff’s sentiment a step further: Guns don’t kill people, complacent liberals do.

“Gun violence is among the most hard public health challenges we face as a country, but because of the deeply misguided ban on research, we know very little about it”, Representative David Price (D-North Carolina), vice chair to the House of Representatives’ Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, said.

Gun sales have been spiking in the United States for weeks, especially following the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif. Wednesday that left 14 people dead.

Nonetheless, there are things we can be doing as a nation to reduce the use of firearms in mass shootings and other crimes.

Sanders has been dogged by criticism from gun-control groups since entering the presidential race. That includes the recent San Bernardino murderers who purchased two assault rifles and two pistols at a store called Annie’s Get Your Gun.

“If somebody is a suspected terrorist on a watch list, they can be indicted at any time, and once you’re indicted, you cannot own a firearm”, Fiorina said, apparently seeing no reason to stop a suspected terrorist from owning a deadly weapon.

The Sanders campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday. In a statement released Wednesday, Dickey said that he “recently expressed… regrets that we didn’t continue that research with the provision that nothing shall be done in this project to infringe the rights of gun ownership”.

Fifty percent of Democrats support Clinton, the former secretary of state, while 36 percent support Sanders, according to a five-day rolling poll from Reuters/Ipsos dated Tuesday. More guns equal more gun deaths – if people have access to tools that cause harm, some will use them for that objective. So focused were our left-wing friends on expressing their hatred for people who didn’t commit the San Bernardino atrocity and the guns they may or may not own, they forgot all about the human factor. Senators also nixed an attempt to expand background checks. As a result, many questions remain unanswered on the most effective ways to prevent gun violence. “How many more innocent people must be shot and killed by madmen before we do something about gun violence?” asked Congressman John Lewis on his Twitter account.

Doctors for America, Doctors Council, American Medical Women’s Association, National Physicians Alliance, American College of Preventive Medicine, The Committee of Interns and Residents, Physicians for the Prevention of Gun Violence, American Medical Student Association and American Academy of Pediatrics join Reps. This means more than 110 guns per 100 people, which is the highest “guns per 100 people” ratio in the world.

Berman noted that pediatricians in Florida are now fighting a law passed by the state legislature that would ban physicians from asking patients about whether they own a firearm and talking to them about gun safety. More than one mass shooting a day; a couple of times a day people send their loved ones off with a kiss not knowing it would be their last.

“These are people we can identify and help early on for treatment…many of these cases never have to advance to level of violence”, Murphy told CBS News.

Authorities said the two stormed the party, decked out in armored gear and masks, and carting assault weapons, and began shooting.

Another week, another mass shooting at our next-door neighbours to the South.

To the extent that guns need to be controlled, that control needs to be applied to the tiny percentage of the population that is criminal, not the vast majority that isn’t.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest has said that Obama was not backing off his push to drive a conversation about gun measures.

I suppose we should take some pride in our record. Gun homicides are down 49 percent since 1993, and in that same time we added approximately 100 million guns to the country’s gun stock.
