This shooting took place in Sacramento, California.
In California, they have banned high-capacity magazines, they’ve restricted so-called assault weapons, and you have to pass a background check on every gun purchase and ammunition.
You can’t have ammo or ghost gun parts shipped directly to your home. Sacramento, by way of being in California, has every gun control measure that Joe Biden mentioned.
This is pure and utter stupidity. He’s proving the point we’ve been making for years; gun control does not work. I think this was a gang shooting, not a mass shooting.
Yes, there is a difference. A mass shooting insinuates that you randomly have one or more people trying to kill as many innocent people as possible.
I think this was one gang or gang member shooting at another gang or gang member where many innocent people were caught in the crossfire.
The phrase mass shooting is literally bat symbol to all the anti-gun groups and politicians to come in a push for gun control.
Which is exactly what Joe Biden did in a statement put out by the White House not even 24 hours after the shooting: “But we must do more than mourn; we must act.
That is why my Administration has taken historic executive action to implement my comprehensive gun crime reduction strategy — from standing up gun trafficking strike forces to helping cities across the country expand community violence interventions and hire more police officers for community policing.
We also continue to call on Congress to act. Ban ghost guns. Require background checks for all gun sales. Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
Repeal gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability. Pass my budget proposal, which would give cities more of the funding they need to fund the police and fund the crime prevention and intervention strategies that can make our cities safer.
These are just a few of the steps Congress urgently needs to take to save lives.”
