I wonder how soon and how fast crime rates in California will increase?
Ooops... Looks like it's already started.
From the article: "Police were struggling to determine the motive for the killings."
Need a little help? Try this: "Salon employee Lorainne Bruielle, who wasn't working Wednesday, told the Long Beach Press-Telegram the gunman was the husband of another employee."
I wonder how this weighs on the conscious of Governor Brown and all the other Constitutionally illiterate idiots who proposed, supported, and signed the unbelievably ridiculous piece of legislation? Had just ONE of the people in that salon been carrying, their odds would have been improved. If just ONE had been OCing, their odds would have improved significantly.
Our Founding Fathers sought to protect the right to keep and bear arms because any infringement puts people at risk, whether it's mandating the type of carry (OC/CC), unloaded vs loaded, or being picky about who has a "legitimate need" to carry. How many of those in the salon would have been given a CWP under California's massively restricted standards? I doubt any of them would have "qualified."
How many of them had a "legitimate need" to carry, today?
ALL OF THEM. Same as do all of us, each and every day. That need will never die, for we can never predict when some nut case will ballistic like this.
Who killed these folks? Was it the gunman? Yes. But it was also the people's fault for not arming themselves in defense, as well as the California Government's fault for creating such a hostile, anti-gun environment that many people who would have carried chose not to bother.
And that, buggybear, is inexcusable.
