What did the armed U.S. citizens of California do?

Just like here in Canada,registration,waiting times and background checks doesn't seem to be working any better for them than it does for us. Gee,whoda thunk that?

Also many states will not allow over the counter sales if you are not from that state.
If you want to know how it works just buy one down here. Yep they can run a background even on a CANADIAN. Helps if you have a PAL or RPAL back home.

Besides this the festival was a gun free zone - to attend you had to pass through a security check point with x-ray - the shooter climbed over a fence to get in - so you see - the same old BS - the ordinary citizen can't have a firearm while this killer can - there are high school football games down here that check you before entering the stadium - I always feel this is terrible - some killer could start shooting and I can't do anything duck - when will people learn - society is reaping what it has sown

U.S. society anyway!

His reason for the shooting/killing; " Van Breen said he heard someone shout to Legan “Why are you doing this?” and Legan replied, “Because I’m really angry.”

An angry kid/whacko, angry at who? so why does he take it out on innocent people?

" society is reaping what it has sown ", " U.S. society anyway! "

Like criminals or a mentally ill person cares about gun laws and permits ...
There will always be a way to get a gun ... it's only the price that will change.
We should be asking ourselves what brings a person to shooting another innocent human being ... we should be fixing that problem.

It makes you wonder why they always pick on innocent, unaware people.

These whacko's , never call the police or the military and tell them to come out to a shootout do they.

Oh ya, they are big bad tough guys, sneak in and catch people of all ages that are out enjoying themselves never having the thought that a "chicken zhit " shooter/killer will arrive and let loose with a semi auto fire arm be it rifle or handgun.

Careful there buddy, you are starting to sound like your "Favorite" friend from down south..

the problem that i see.

everyone is allowed to carry and handgun around , okay..
so what point does it get to where people dont call the cops to solve disputes and start to settle it themselves with their own firearms.

police officers are literally employed to "protect and serve" the community, they come and solve disputes no matter what the issue is. in my opinion you let everyone walk around with a firearm your asking for problems. with all the bad police crap going around as well these days i feel like that screwed up ALOT of people views on this as well tho and i cant blame em.

The second amendment permitted the government to raise armies (consisting of full-time paid troops) only when needed to fight foreign adversaries. For other purposes, such as responding to sudden invasions or other emergencies, the government could rely on a militia that consisted of ordinary civilians who supplied their own weapons and received some part-time, unpaid military training.


my whole view on it was that amendment was put in there for a MAIN purpose. and what i just wrote up there is it. they should have gotten rid of that a long time ago honestly. it was a different time.

now is a time for different rules as well.

ive also noticed alot of debates leave out the very first portion of the amendment........... "A well regulated..."

just my 2 cents.
