So to reiterate, someone who has been vetted by the government to be trustworthy in some pretty sensitive areas, someone trained in multiple firearms safety courses and tactical trainers, who just wants to buy a standard-issue weapon is prohibited from doing so at a firearms sales store in CA. The Clackamas shooter obtained his weapons illegally. The Connecticut shooter didn't need to reload or have "mega-mags" because he had 4 weapons (**if ABC news is to be believed). The DOJ has reported that multiple gangs in CA traffic weapons illegally. CA led the nation in 2011 in gun murders. Yet a law-abiding veteran trained in weapons safety and usage can't get a standard-issue handgun at a store. And more laws/gun control is supposed to help? More emphasis on the size of magazines available to be sold, or the number of weapons allowed?
I could not imagine a more horrific crime scene that those 1st responders found. That would give you nightmares for life.
Restrictive gun laws would be mere palliatives, like putting Neosporin on a gangrenous limb. There's something deeply and inherently wrong in large parts of this society, and it's not just bullying or mental illness or a few nuts.
I just sorta knew some over caffeinated news producer would get a critical fact wrong in the rush to be "first"
depends. If it was a stock, stripped-down Bushmaster (no sights, no telescoping stock, no flash suppressor, semi-automatic only--as opposed to burst or auto-capable--, etc.) then it would have been legal.
A law enforcement source told CBS News two pistols, a Sig and a Glock, were found in the school and a Bushmaster rifle was found in a car.

Those are valid points, and tell me that how we go about gun control probably doesn't work as it should. Try, try again. And for what it's worth, states with stricter gun control laws have fewer gun related deaths.
ok this is so over the top you have zero idea what you are talking about there are people that are trained to stay in the moment and act under pressure, nothing to do with how you preceive it
