Firearms are not banned in California.
Yes I do know that firearms are not banned in Ca, just some of them. I did not say that firearms were banned. In case you missed it, those that do not comply with the “micro stamping” requirement have been banned from sale for sometime. Furthermore, removable magazines of ten rounds or more are also banned as of last year. According to the news reports, both situations could have precluded his possession of “extended” magazines with a firearm purchased since 07 or so. That was the point of my comment which was made as sarcasm.
What is important about this story, way beyond whether he had approved firearms, is this guy was an apparent mental case who planned to take out a bunch of people before killing himself. What drove that is troubling as it seems to almost be a movie scene or something from a video game. There is no justification for it, not a damn thing.
