““Didn’t LA simply stop testing?”
I don’t know if they stopped testing, but the stopped selling guns. Who was rushing out this week to buy a gun in a gun store? It wasn’t criminals, they buy them on the black market, they can’t buy them in gun stores, anyway.

Anybody with a brain had guns and ammo first.
And centuries ago.
I have no sympathy for those scrambling to buy now.
The stupid reap what they have sown.
