California can always pass more draconian gun control laws. Why is it Washington’s fault?

[Joe Brower]

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

“After the shooting at University of California, Santa Barbara on Friday, a rampage that left six students dead from gun or knife wounds, many parents and politicians found the federal government’s past responses to similar tragedies to be one of the culprits. “Have we learned nothing?”

Apparently, we have failed to learn that firearms, knives, and automobiles are merely tools. We’ve failed to learn that banning firearms or passing even more laws would not have prevented this.

What we have learned:

Gun control kills.
Mass shooters are INVEARIABLY leftist nutcases.

[HammerT]

“Have we learned nothing?”

Translation: What can we milk out of this serious crisis to incrementally destroy the people’s Commonsense Civil Rights?

Here’s the drill:

1). Leftist lunatic goes nuts and does what Leftist lunatics will always do.
2). The National State Media goes into overdrive turning said Leftist lunatic into a hero and complains of ‘easy access to guns’ as though there aren’t already a myriad of draconian laws on the books.
3). National State Media and the Commie – left use the crisis to get what ever they can.
4). Since the new restrictions on the people’s Commonsense Civil Rights do nothing as advertised, the gun grabbers go back to patiently waiting the next serious crisis.
5). At the next serious crisis, the process starts all over again – lather rinse, repeat until the people’s Commonsense Civil Rights are eviscerated.

I think it is fair to ask "have we learned nothing?" because once again, the elephant in the room is that a mass killing was perpetrated by someone on mind-altering prescription medication (Ritalin, in this case, IIRC), which seems to be the common thread in these cases, yet no one seems to want to discuss that.

“Bill Clinton tried to explain the reason why Congress didn’t pass gun legislation after Columbine.”

Notice that for him, it is all about politics. Absolutely nothing about good or bad ideas. No statistics, nothing. All politics. He truly is an amoral person, solely motivated by opinion polls that favor what he wanted.
