California again, huh? Not long after that Saugus High School shooting on the 14th. How can this be happening? The pro-gun control Giffords Law Center says California has the best, most stringent gun control laws of any state in the entire country. They're supposed to be a model for us all in preventing these mass shootings.

According to this Washington Post graph, 51% of Americans owned guns in 1978, vs. 36% in 2016, and yet they claim it's "the prevalence of guns" causing mass shootings? Something isn't quite jiving with these pro-gun control arguments we see after each major mass shooting. Why is it kids had easier access to guns in the 1960s, and schools generally had much, much more lax rules about having guns on campus, yet students weren't indiscriminately shooting every classmate they could back then?

I have to laugh at this. Giving places like the Dakotas an F grade and they are among the least violent areas in the United States.
