It is illegal to carry a pistol either openly or concealed in California. Extended magazines are illegal in California. Background checks are required for all firearms sales in California. There is a 10 day waiting period in California. The mentally ill and those with criminal histories are barred from possessing weapons in California. Ammunition sales are regulated in California. Internet ammunition sales are prohibited in California. It is illegal to discharge a weapon within the city limits in California. It is illegal to murder people in California, and also to commit suicide. What more in the way of gun control would you propose? If it is the blanket prohibition of all firearms in California then tell me what good it did that no one in the room was legally armed, that all firearms were prohibited at that location.

We don't have a gun problem. We have a suicide problem and a mental health problem. The gunman was mentally disturbed. The police and the authorities knew that. They were content to let him wander the streets untreated until he finally blew up. It is the same with 90% of all mass shooters. We need a viable mental health care system that gets these people off the streets and treats them. Until we get that system no amount of anti-firearm laws are going to accomplish anything.

Greats Point and cause can be seen pretty clean.
Only criminals buy firearms with no back ground check.
There are no mental health treatment centers.( they were long since closed)
Use a gun go to prison, turned into own a gun go to prison in California.
Release felons early, and remove all possible defense of the public.
You are not a citizen in that state, you are a subject, for when a people can no longer serve themselves, they are surely serving their King.

It is not a gun issue, or even, actually, a mental health issue. It is a moral issue. The ultimate 'gun control' law was given long before guns were even invented. It was handed down by Moses: "Shall not kill"!! This law has been removed from public view, and teachings for several decades, because the 'Left' (Communists) portrayed it as religious, and offensive to Atheists and Communists. To moderators: I am NOT preaching religion, only discussing morality, which should, actually transcend religion.

If individuals are instilled with strong moral values from a young age, they are less likely to commit immoral acts, even if mentally ill. Instead, now, I believe we teach "fear the gun", and gender confusion. Without morals, we have no habitable society. America has been duped.
