CYNICALISM of GUN CONTROL.

California Gov. Newsom wants 
more gun control and more 
gun control as mass
shootings go on in a state 
with the strictest gun laws .

America has a serious problem . It's the plague of MASS SHOOTINGS . My heart goes out to anyone who’s a victim. Gun violence, domestic violence, random violence.  (1)>>California Gov. Gavin Newsom blasted the country’s failure to address gun violence on Monday, saying “the Second Amendment’s becoming a suicide pact.” Moments later he learned about yet another mass killing in his state, the third in eight days. (1.1)>>Newsom promised he would continue fighting for strong gun control laws, while also attacking Republicans for getting in the way of making the country safer. He singled out several by name, including Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.  Meanwhile, Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to ban “military-style assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines – a bill that would have outlawed the modified 9mm semi-automatic weapon used by (2)>>the gunman in Saturday’s mass shooting in Monterey Park. President Joe Biden has signaled his support for the measure.  Newsom What weapons of war were used?? Pull your head out of whatever sand pile it is in. Handguns were used. Are you surprised?  “I don’t want this to happen again”. Well, there’s been a shit ton. 33 mass shootings in 2023 so far. no, 33 days have not passed since new years.Last year we averaged 1.57 a day or 11 per week. We're on track though (by last year's data we'd be 34.54).What don't you understand. You flood the market with assault weapons, deprioritize mental health and then build a society that vilifies people who don't think like you. [ Through some MIND CONTROL IN] It's  (3)>>VERY CYNICAL that ANY KIND of EVEN MORE STRICT gun control is going to work , CASE in EXAMPLE = CALIFORNIA . It’s a very interesting case, California has the highest amount of mass shootings but has some of the lowest amount of death due to gun violence. The big thing is that mass shootings is the stuff that makes the headlines but is a tiny percentage of actual gun deaths. So the counter your looking for is that mass shootings is not very good evidence for how good a states gun control is.The point I’m trying to make is we can see first hand in our country that gun control doesn’t work. It’s societal issues we need to address and nobody is acknowledging that at all. People who want to commit atrocities will do so no matter .So our goal should be making sure people don’t want to commit atrocities not pushing them to more extreme means.And who the hell are these "Good guys with guns" I keep hearing about? The police are becoming less trustworthy with guns, and I am saying this as a white person in a town that has yet to have the cops randomly kill a minority on a routine arrest or traffic stop, and key word is yet. You'll excuse me if I think a roving band of citizens with guns dispensing justice is just going to lead to a staggering amount of murders that will do more harm than good. (4)>>So who are these "good guys with guns" who will save us from the bad guys with guns?Also the rise in mass shooters seems to roughly coincide with the decrease in serial killers. I think some a lot of it is the news covering mass shooters so much more than serial killers.While many say the psychology is not the same. People imitate what they know. How many would have taken the steps to go though with that form of violence if they hand been exposed to it so much. All gun control legislation is a political stunt without regard for the fact that more gun control will lead to more violent crime. Among their biggest con jobs, the left has managed to get its sheeple to believe "gun violence" is a problem, but "violence" is not.There are more guns in the US than human beings. I don't even know what the solution is any more. 

NOTES AND COMMENTS : 

(1)>>California Gov. Gavin Newsom blasted the country’s failure to address gun violence on Monday, saying. Newsom mentioned the role of mental health in mass shootings, but he singled out gun access as a factor exacerbating the problem."I'm really proud of the work we've done in this space, but we've had decades of neglect," he said. "But respectfully, I will submit that regardless of the challenges it relates to behavioral health, there's not a country in the world that doesn't experience behavioral health issues."  (1.1)>>Newsom promised he would continue fighting for strong gun control laws.  California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said that gun regulations were falling short as he visited the scene of the deadly mass shooting in Monterey Park.Gavin Newsom believes that this is his moment. He woke up with an idea. He clearly wants to run for President on the Democrat ticket for 2024, but his record plagues him. After being widely known as one of the most criticized, most morally bankrupt Democrat politicians known far more for his infidelity than his policymaking, but still hoping to run for the Democrat ticket in 2024, why not use faux concern for the victims of gun violence. He does not care one bit about the victims of gun violence, and is not passing this legislation as an opportunity to implement long-term, comprehensive gun control. H  Isn't it curious that with all these calls to criminalize guns there are District Attorney's in California that refuse to use firearm sentence enhancements for crimes committed with firearms!?!California has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Yet police said the Monterey Park shooter was still able to use a modified pistol, which is illegal in the state during the shooting that killed 11 people and injured nine others.Even with California’s laws, people can just bring weapons into the state from elsewhere — The shooter also could have obtained the gun legally out of state, or illegally from a gun trafficker. Neighboring states like Nevada and Oregon have clamped down on gun trafficking by requiring background checks in recent years. But Arizona doesn’t require background checks to purchase any type of weapon, which made it the largest out-of-state source of guns traced to California in 2021, according to data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.  (2)>>the gunman in Saturday’s mass shooting in Monterey Park.  Did news of one massacre set off the other? It reads that way, but who can know? Were mental health issues a factor? Maybe so, but there are similar mental health issues in all the countries where these kinds of shootings happen either very rarely or virtually never.If you’re looking for a more stereotypical shooting, there was one that came on the day between the two California mass shootings, this one in Des Moines, Iowa, where two were killed and one wounded, and an 18-year-old with a 9mm pistol and an extended clip was charged. We hardly noticed it.(3)>>VERY CYNICAL that ANY KIND of EVEN MORE STRICT gun control is going to work.  If we could prove that increasing gun control would lead to fewer deaths, yes, although through places like Chicago etc we learn that increasing gun control does not always make the world a better place. We have a right to own a gun because it is in our own Constitution just as other rights like the right to vote are. No, not everyone in the world has the right to own a gun. It is the constitution of the United States thus it is only applicable to US citizens.There is a difference between a responsible gun owner and a mass murderer. The issue is, it seems, we seem to have more mass shootings in this country that we have responsible gun owners. But that may be due to the fact responsible gun owners are not committing mass murder.Chicago's ban on in-city firearm sales predated the city's crime-spike by almost a decade. A great deal of Chicago's harsh guns laws were put into place in the early 1960s but Chicago didn't really become a "violent" city until the late 60s and early 70s, with 700-800 homicides per year throughout most of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. By the 2000s violent crime crashed in Chicago, and for the past decade, the number of homicides has been well under 500 per year, despite the fact that the city has a population double what it was in the 70s. This is all without repealing or changing those gun laws.(4)>>So who are these "good guys with guns" . I genuinely don't understand this fear. Gun owners are an incredibly powerful group. If they decided to pass some gun control/background-check to make illegal sales more difficult, they could easily do so without losing any power to stop the legislature from passing more restrictive laws. The concept of citizens stopping acts of violence – often called “good guys with guns” – originates back to the 1998 book, “More Guns, Less Crime,” by economist John Lott, VICE reports. The book and its arguments have been resourced for many gun advocacy groups, including the National Rifle Association. “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun,” NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre famously said after the Newtown shooting in 2012. LaPierre has repeated the line several times since. Every time there is another mass shooting, more and more money floods into the budgets of police departments and they go out and buy military-spec M-4 rifles and military-spec shotguns and military-spec body armor and military-spec helmets and military-style camouflage uniforms. Why? Because they're cool, that's why. If they're going to go up against one of these mass shooters, every one of whom is outfitted in military-style tactical gear and carrying military-style AR-15 rifles, then by God, they're not going to be one-upped! Just like Greg Abbott and his exhortation to Texans to buy more guns so they could catch up with California (!), the cops are going to buy more guns and more body armor — more of everything — so they can be ready the next time they're called upon to stand around in a parking lot of a building after 10 or 20 people have been shot and their dead bodies are strewn around the floor somewhere inside.So this idiotic question about where are the good guys with guns? They’re following the rules, and staying out of places where they’re not allowed with their guns, while the bad guys have free reign. And the rest of this idiotic question, about 30 mass shootings in 49 days? Wherever you got that, they’re smoking some good stuff. Stay away from that, because it’s screwing up your reality.
