Quote of the Day

In an analysis, CNN’s Brian Stelter insinuated that nobody will consider tougher gun laws to prevent such an incident. He should have looked at the facts before going off half-cocked.

The suspect in this case is known to have purchased the shotgun and a handgun used in the attack from two different California gun stores. He had to pass two California background checks and endure two separate waiting periods. It is widely known California has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, and the suspect was able to complete his legal purchases. Just what more does Stelter think could be done?

CCRKBA RIPS CNN COMMENTATOR’S CALL FOR GUN CONTROL AFTER ATTACK – CCRKBA

Obviously, the gun control we have does not work to prevent crime. Hence, we need ban guns completely just like we do with hard core recreational drugs. Then we won’t have to worry about getting shot while eating dinner at a fancy hotel. Duh!

I always found it curious that politicians thought it necessary to pass a constitutional amendment to allow them to ban alcoholic drinks and create an income tax, but no constitutional change was required to ban arms. Grok gave me reasonable answer to that. I still think it is bogus, but I have a better understanding of how it happened.
