Given the spate of mass shootings, everyone is going off on their
rhetoric, including the White House.
Basically, they feel that if they can get rid of guns, it would stop the
perps from going to heavily crowded areas and shooting multiple people.
The bottom line is…we do not enforce the laws we have. So why do people think that banning guns will
give them any better results? These are
the things that are illegal in California (with the exclusion of Law
Enforcement and Conceal Carry Permit holders):
·
Open carry
·
Carrying a loaded weapon
·
Weapon on Public Property or in Public Facility
·
Loaded weapon in vehicle
·
Unsecured handgun in vehicle
·
Shooting within 500 feet of an occupied dwelling
·
Automatic weapons
·
Explosive devices
·
Straw purchase or transfer
What do these laws have in common? Well, despite California having the
strictest gun laws in the nation, they’re not enforced. If they were enforced, we would not have the
issues the nation is currently suffering from when it comes to gun violence…which is still on the decline and has been
for the last 20 years. Even
enforcing the aforementioned laws would not have stopped the jihad killings in
San Bernardino…even the White House admits this.
Check out the statistics on the FBI website. In their chart from 2010 to 2014 on the
Expanded Homicide Data Table 8, Murder Victims by Weapon; total
percentage DROP in firearms used was 8%. Yeah, it doesn’t seem like much, but
the Media would have you believe that this crime by firearms is skyrocketing
and we’ve never experienced these numbers before. An example of how to skew the
perception: Would you believe that explosives
used to kill murder victims has increased by 50%? 50%
PEOPLE!!! We must ban all explosives!!!
That’s increased faster than firearms being used for murder decreased!
What I didn’t say was that in
2010, four (4) people were murdered with explosives…in 2014, it increased by
two (2) to six (6) people. Food for
thought.
