By my math he spent around $4000 and 3 months (CA 1 handgun per month law) on guns/mags/ammo building up to his kill spree, demonstrating a fairly well developed plan. Does anyone really think that a law, ANY law would have stopped him, that he wouldn’t have found another way?
Stop him? no..nothing could have deterred him except a trained citizen with a firearm…but he was in a gun free zone. the nearest citizen of that kind was at least 1000 feet away.
Now we have one of the victim’s fathers speaking out against guns and shilling for gun control.
Here is the long and short of the entire gun control argument.
the natural right to self defense isn’t dependent on any man made laws and indeed predates government.
the 9 supreme court justices didn’t bestow the right to self defense. the president nor the constitution grant the right to self defense.
This right has been identified in the bible, the torah and the talmud (7000 years ago) and is identified in the magna carta, LEX REX, Locke’s 2nd treatise on govt. and is illuminated in the federalist papers numbers 28,29, and 48.
Cicero expounded on the natural right to self defense in the Senate of Rome where he said “the right to self-defense was natural and inborn, and not a creation of the government. The right to use weapons was a necessary part of the right to self-defense — any view to the contrary was silly nonsense.”
Thomas Aquinas remarked on it in the catechism of the catholic church when he said “Someone who defends his life is not guilty of murder even if he is forced to deal his aggressor a lethal blow.”
That’s the long part.
The short part? If he wants my guns, let him come and take them.
I’m not even planning to do any in-depth research on this little fellow, but one question that does not seem to have come up in the public discourse is this:
How did a guy who’d reportedly been in psychoanalysis since the age of eight ever pass a background check? California has gun registration; wouldn’t the police have had this information available to them when they had their inspiring chat with him? The laws are not working, which explains the calls for more laws.
