Boxer: California has proven that 'sensible gun laws work'

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) pointed to gun laws in her home state as evidence that commonsense reforms can prevent mass shootings.

"The fact is, sensible gun laws work, we've proven it in California, and we're not going to give up," the senator said in a press conference on Thursday.

Boxer's comments come a day after the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., in which 14 people were killed and 21 injured.

Boxer said California has passed several gun regulations since the 1990s, which she said have contributed to a statewide decline in gun violence.

"In California, since the 1990s, we have passed a number of important gun safety laws," she said. "And over that period of time, we have had a reduction in gun violence of 56 percent."

"Now clearly what we see is, this is not enough. That is why we need national laws," she added.

That’s the thing...they’re trying to wear Americans down to the point where gun control is going to be acceptable - after the next shooting when 100s of people get slaughtered at the mall or movie theater (Star Wars).

“Gun violence” is an arbitrary and undefined category, hence is not measurable. Crimes committed with firearms are down, to be sure, correlated closely with the loosening of concealed carry laws in the rest of the nation. You’ll never hear that from Boxer, though.

The average California voter must have a shorter memory than a goldfish.

IIRC, there was apparently some sort of large scale training exercise involving over a hundred police and EMS personnel just a few blocks away. They were on the scene VERY quickly, but the terrorists still managed to (briefly) escape. But still these leftist idiots believe enforced helplessness is the answer. IDIOTS!!!!

Whenever you see one of these brain-damaged older Lefty women shooting their addled mouths off - you have to wonder if it's CTE [chronic traumatic encephalopathy] from their college days.

The football players get it from repeated collisions on the football field.

The Lefty bints get it from repeated collisions of their heads with the bed headboard...

Looks like Babs Boxer might have had a few hundred losing bouts with the headboard...
