"California is a case in point, as revealed by data compiled on the
website Statista.com.

The Statista survey looked at data between 1982 and October 2023
concerning episodes of a single attack with a firearm in a public
place that resulted in four or more fatalities between 1982 and 2012
or in three fatalities from 2013 onward (definitions that track a
database compiled by MotherJones.com).

Those figures show that California had by far the most such incidents
during the survey period, at 26."

How come the news media don't mention this?

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

Maybe because it's well known that regional gun laws are compromised
by there being no effective controls for the movement of guns from
regions that don't impose gun restrictions, and that any gun law in
the US is basically swiss cheese due to the manner in which the
supreme court has interpreted the second amendment?

Federal law doesn't apply? Amazing.

Well, shit, to think that SCOTUS is actually worried about laws that violate
our rights..

Amazing, just utterly amazing. After all, politicians should be able to
order us about at will.

It's inconsistent to complain that gun laws aren't preventing gun violence
while also acknowledging that our current government is undermining the
effectiveness of those laws (to which you approve).

Gun laws don't prevent violence.
Government should undermine laws that violate our rights no matter how
'effective' they might be.

Seems like I am totally consistent.
