<Sigh> Well again when the cities started bending over backward for scum I kept saying this was how it was going to go. People are going to start to take the law into their own hands. Sadly of course this is NOT how to handle this and the shooter is going to be in trouble but, again the voters do this to themselves. It's too bad we can't get the RV's to go dump their tanks in front of the homes of City Counsel, and Mayor's homes.Homeowner shoots at man dumping raw sewage in neighborhood

now I agree. Because the evidence at hand reasonably indicates something bigger than a misdemeanor. I would still let the cops do the investigating though...
IMO most new gun owners don't know when they can use a gun (or threaten to use) and when they can't. They also don't know/don't respect the four basic rules of gun safety. That means there will be a lot more incidents like this and also accidents. So we can't stop people doing stupid things, but the more new gun owners that are educated on the above, the less often it will happen overall IMO.This is the type of thing that will ultimately win the majority of the population over to banning guns. This is what the non gun owning person sees more often than not ... its no wonder why they vote the way they do.
Most CA gun laws are just plain stupid, but I have really mixed feelings about the safe handling demonstration that's required before taking possession. The demo was a slight PITA and pretty contrived, but after watching numerous Los Angelinos fail miserably multiple times, I can't say it's completely a waste of effort.So we can't stop people doing stupid things, but the more new gun owners that are educated on the above, the less often it will happen overall IMO.

Almost though. I'm sure they retained very little.
Same with the requirement to have a firearms safety card. It's tough to know when to draw the line when the other side isn't interested in any form of reasonable discourse.

This particular guy thought he was in the right to defend his property from tresspassing, with lethal force. What an idiot.

the numbers do not support the assertion that gun owners are in the majority either. Just because we have X number of guns, doesn't mean we have that same number of gun owners. As mentioned in the article I posted, a number of gun owners own much more than a single gun.
Also, the assertion that just because there are a lot of guns being bought recently means that most of those people are new gun owners is not necessarily true either. Surely some percentage are, but how many are new and how many are already owners? That there are "many" new gun owners is an assumption that we don't have evidence for.

Our ruling: True
The claim on the pro-gun Facebook page that an assault weapons ban bill was introduced in the House is TRUE. If passed, H.R. 5717 would ban semiautomatic assault weapons.
Regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act. Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine-guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act.
Once again the Media seizes on any word that "excites" or shows the potential for sensationalism. What does "Hispanic" have to do with that idiot's actions? The Media loves any words that are considered sensitive, such as AK, AR, gun-violence, Black, etc. The Media needs to be part of the solution, not the problem. I quit my local newspaper because of their use of such words. I wish I could do that with the TV news which has become a platform for bias.
In this exact situation we are discussing the driver would have full legal defense to have shot the man menacing them with a firearm when there was no clear threat or intent to cause harm. Technically they were trespassing unknowingly by getting lost, the man pulls and points his pistol. If he was shot in return with that information, those people would never be convicted by a jury.
(1) A person is guilty of criminal trespass in the second degree if he or she knowingly enters or remains unlawfully in or upon premises of another under circumstances not constituting criminal trespass in the first degree.
(2) Criminal trespass in the second degree is a misdemeanor.
....b ut chasing down a trespasser after the fact? Probably not - except maybe to get their license plate if they were up to no good. For making a u-turn on my property? ...
... A retroactive ban on legal ownership of previously-purchased weapons, unless they are something really weird, won't be part of the pie. ...
See my post above -- Joe Biden wants to NFA semiautos meaning you'd have to buy a tax stamp for each one or sell it "back" to the government. So a sort of non-ban that locks people out from ownership. I suppose we'd get a ruling from SCOTUS on whether the NFA is constitutional, but without another Trump appointee, I'd expect that to go badly.
