California governor criticizes ‘wide open’ Nevada, Arizona.

LE BOURGET, France — Gov. Jerry Brown said Saturday that “wide open” gun laws in Nevada and Arizona are a “gigantic back door through which any terrorist can walk,” while he was noncommittal on efforts to strengthen gun control measures in California.

Brown, arriving in France for climate talks after the mass shooting in San Bernardino last week, called the shooting a terrorist attack.

The guns used were purchased legally in California before being modified, authorities have said.

Asked if stricter gun control laws were warranted, as some activists have argued, the fourth-term Democrat replied, “California has some of the toughest gun control laws of any state. And Nevada and Arizona are wide open, so that’s a gigantic back door through which any terrorist can walk.”

“It’s an important topic, this is an important forumwant to make sure I did that,” Brown said. “At the same time, I don’t minimize the significance o, California has a role to play, and If this terrorist attack. … It’s a very clear indication that this is a global phenomenon and that people who are committed to this jihadist doctrine are going to be killing people in very unexpected places. So we have to be, as I said, we have to be on our guard and we have to do whatever we can do.”

Brown said terrorism is a more difficult problem to address than climate change because “we know what to do about climate change.”(continued)

Maybe, if only we had the gun control laws they have in France or Norway these massacres could never happen in the US ever again.

Right?
