Spoiler Alert: California Already Has Obama’s Fantasy Gun Control Utopia

So what was the response of our media and political elites when this happened on Wednesday: hysteria over gun laws.

But when it comes to guns, lawmakers are able to agree on very little, and many regulations seem to upend logic.

These and other issues can be addressed through the political process, if there is the will…. It’s shameful. Given the reality that he’s unlikely to listen, however, we will continue to stand and fight for law-abiding gun owners who are both disgusted and heartbroken by these heinous acts – whether committed by madmen, gang members or terrorists.

Press TV: And Senator, you mentioned the influence of the gun lobby.

Speaking at the organization’s annual gala last month, Brady Campaign President Dan Gross stressed his belief that the movement has reached a tipping point.

After the San Bernardino shooting, it’s up to the people to strive for a change.

It was a different kind of horror show. Barack Obama has already promised to veto the bill, meaning that it was not about making new law, but making sure everyone is put on the record.

A loophole under USA law permits people identified as terrorists by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to legally purchase guns – including military-derived assault weapons like the.233-caliber guns used by the alleged San Bernardino killers Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik.

Just when we think that politics can’t sink any lower, President Obama once again proves us wrong by politicizing the tragedy in San Bernardino before the facts were even known. Had that not been the case, Republicans would have said that all that matters is that Farook was crazy-how could anyone who killed 14 people not be? Tougher, universal background checks, mandatory safe storage, required reporting of lost and stolen weapons and other safety requirements do not preclude gun ownership but they do promote safety.

The number of victims of crimes involving guns that did not result in death (such as robberies) declined even more precipitously, from 725 per 100,000 people in 1993 to 175 in 2013…
