A ridiculous bill was really just legislation about guns that look scary to the Assemblywoman from Berkeley
Four people including three children are dead, and 19 in total were shot in Stockton, California Saturday night, at a family event inside of a banquet hall, ABC 10 reported.
California Democrats have imposed the strictest gun laws in the U.S., but on lawful citizens and legal gun owners. Rather than focusing on those who commit violent crime, Democrats obsess over guns. And it’s not really working, is it? When guns are outlawed, only the outlaws have guns, as this horrific shooting in Stockton demonstrates.
Details are sketchy at this point. But the AP reports local officials confirmed the suspected shooter has not been caught. Someone knows who did this.
Gun control law get innocent people killed.
In June, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that California’s law requiring firearm owners to undergo background checks when buying ammunition goes against the second amendment and is unconstitutional, the Globe reported.
Because California’s law forced gun owners to pay a fee and face some delays while the state processes their background check, the three-judge panel found the law constrains residents’ right to keep and bear arms in violation of the Second Amendment.
As I include in nearly every article about California Democrats’ gun control measures, in 2013, then-Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) authored a bill banning ammo:
“Bullets, the very thing that make guns deadly,” said then-Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner in a hearing in 2013 I reported on. Assembly Bill 48 by Skinner (D-Berkeley), bans the sale of magazine parts kits that can hold more than 10 cartridges, and requires mandatory reporting of law-abiding citizens who purchase more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition within a five-day period. However her bill expanded the definition of “large-capacity magazine” to include disassembled parts even if the parts only “appear” to hold more than 10 rounds. Her ridiculous bill was really just legislation about guns that look scary to the Assemblywoman from Berkeley. As expected, then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 48 into law.
As AWR Hawkins, a Second Amendment expert for Breitbart writes, “California’s gun controls include a red flag law, an ‘assault weapons’ ban, a ‘high capacity’ magazine ban, a 10-day waiting period on gun purchases, universal background checks, gun registration requirements, a limit on the number of guns law-abiding citizens can buy each month, prohibitions against concealed carry for self-defense in ‘sensitive places,’ a ban on concealed carry for self-defense on college campuses, a ban on K-12 teachers being armed for classroom defense, and numerous ammunition controls.”
Democrats even banned the Glock! The California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1127, and Governor Gavin Newsom signed it to BAN any new purchase of all models of Glock handguns, effective July 1, 2026.
What can we say, other than to share Gun Owners of California’s assessment:
GLOCK BAN BILL: All Politics – Zero Safety
Democrats call the Glock a “machinegun-convertible pistol.” Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino), and fellow gun control supporters literally redefined semi-automatic pistols as “convertible.”
The ridiculous bill is unconstitutional under prior Supreme Court precedent in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller, the 2008 Supreme Court case that ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.
In the Second Amendment Foundation Glock Lawsuit, they say, “Undeterred, the State is now expanding its ban on ‘popular handguns designed for self-defense.’”
Meanwhile, three minors and an adult are dead, and 11 others were shot and hurt at a family gathering in Stockton.
No gun control law works to keep people safe from bad guys – only armed citizens can protect themselves and their families.
More to the story...who invites 100-150 people to a birthday
party for a two year old...
I guess the Chuck E. Cheese was already booked.
People with large families? These were Hispanics and they generally do have very large extended families.
Nice Family
“...who invites 100-150 people to a birthday
party for a two year old...”
You’ve never heard of the Mexican mafia?

Democrat mission accomplished.
Every time society fails, it furthers their aim of crushing people’s hope in society so they’ll welcome *anything* else.
Every time people struggle to reconcile obvious fact as observed with laws and media propaganda, their trust in truth and in others is degraded. It’s work to stick to the truth; if it doesn’t do any good, throw in the towel and let whatever happens happen, right?
The left doesn’t pass nonsensical laws because they don’t understand they don’t work. They pass them *because* they don’t work. I will be very happy the day conservative writers stop trying to ‘explain’ reality to leftists as if they just don’t get it.
Obviously MORE stringent gun control is needed.
4 dead out of 19, sounds like they need more range time.
What family was it? The Hatfields and McCoys?
FWIW, Stockton is a sanctuary city.
“Four people including three children are dead, and 19 in total were shot in Stockton, California Saturday night, at a family event inside of a banquet hall, ABC 10 reported.” I guess some member of the family didn’t really like the others.
These anti 2A Democrats in California all want us to be D efenseless. Yeah they want to kill us all. Pushback against their legislation...ZERO.
Mexico Del Norte, AKA Stockton is not a pleasant place. It is currently a no man’s land of the gang territory between the ‘14ers’ (Northern Mexican gangs) and the ‘13ers’ (Southern Mexican gangs). I learned way too much about the gangs when I was in college in Fresno. They were always fighting up and down the valley.
Too bad the feds can’t go full Bukele on the nation and start throwing these punks in CECOT
37 million deer hunters were all over America last weekend.
No mass shootings resulted.
Well. I’d say pretty good since a magazine is only allowed to hold 10 rounds in California. 19 hits with 10 rounds...
Criminals would never break the law...
Just the child's closest friends, of course
I bet her staff worked night and day to figure this out.
Stockton really is one of the worst cities to live in of all of California. If not the worst.
Agree unless one likes the smell of open septic tanks and soft soil all over the place.
