Yep. California’s background checks didn’t prevent Pat Purdy from getting a handgun. He PASSED the background check with flying colors even after just being released from a mental hospital, then went to Oregon and purchased an AK-47. Then he went and shot up the Stockton School yard.
It also didn’t prevent to moslems from buying legally handguns, then obtaining AR-15s from a friend and shooting up a Christmas Party a few weeks ago.
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.
