California: No. 1 in Gun Control, No. 1 in ‘Active Shooter Incidents’
Breitbart ^ | 5 Jun 2022 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 06/05/2022 3:05:09 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

An FBI report on ‘Active Shooter Incidents’ in 2021 shows that California was the number one state for such incidents, with six incidents total.

California is also number one for gun law strength, the Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety noted.

According to the FBI, there were 61 “active shooter incidents” across the country in 2021 and 12 of the incidents met the definition of a “mass killing.”

California led the nation with six “active shooter incidents.”

California has universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, a 10-day waiting period on gun purchases, a red flag law, gun registration requirements, a “good cause” requirement for concealed carry permit issuance, a ban on carrying a gun on a college campus for self-defense, a ban on K-12 teachers being armed on campus for classroom defense, a background check requirement for ammunition purchases, and a limit on the number of guns a law-abiding citizen can purchase in a given month, among other controls.

Additionally, ammunition purchases are only allowed if made through a state-approved vendor.

Interesting statistic. But I want to know about the "passive shooter incidents," too.

A bit disingenuous. Cali has 10% of the incidents and 12% of the population.

This might indicate their tough laws really don’t work.......

Trotting out intellectually dishonest statistics only makes the pro-2A side look stupid.

Yeah and I’m guessing Wyoming is last

Also California leads the nation in population and Wyoming is last there too

The problem with this sort of argument is that it takes the Dem party line at face value.

Number one (perhaps) with citizens who’ve got utter contempt for the corrupt policy and and their unconstitutional “laws.”

The one gun a month thing is one of the reasons why living in California is so expensive! Plus you have to store them all.

High cost of living as many of those immigrants (plus others still in communist China) buy and bid up the real estate.
Simple little 70 year old 1200 square foot “veterans return from service housing” cottages are pushing $2,000,000, some higher depending on location.
One bedroom apartments in buildings you probably wouldn’t want to live in— in noisy commercial or industrial districts — between 3 and 5,000 a month rents.
