Possibly. My error. Sorry.
It makes a big difference. Possibly. Yes, and possibly, he was not a prohibited possesor. We do not know, do we?
Lesseee... what do we know about California? We know they have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, right? We know this, right?
And we know that they are hopelessly inept at getting guns away from criminals and the mentally incapacitated, right?
I mean, there’s been article upon article about it.

So...even though Cali has incredibly restrictive gun laws... they can’t enforce them. This is why adding MORE is ludicrous.
Regardless of whether or not Matthew Warren was a prohibited possessor (and you have to admit that from what his parents have said...if he was VERY depressed from childhood, he may well have been) he got that gun... apparently, illegally.
Again... Rick Warren didn’t toss down the gauntlet for gun control ... quite the opposite.
He is saying what the police have told him. His son got an ILLEGAL weapon.
Unregistered, with the serial number scratched off.
Thank God Rick didn’t Tweet: “I forgive the gun that killed my son.” eh?
He forgave the person who sold his son the illegal weapon. And AGAIN... No gun control law would have prevented the tragedy.... because the gun was unregistered and illegal.
“It makes a big difference. Possibly. Yes, and possibly, he was not a prohibited possesor. We do not know, do we?”
Yet. It may come out later. But it doesn’t really matter. Rick Warren didn’t do some huge egregious damage to the gun debate and, as I said, the case of Matthew Warren can’t be argued to SUPPORT gun control.
Now. I’m going to enjoy the rest of my night. I hope you do, too.
