Quote:Would any of your recommendations have stopped the shooter in San Bernardino? He bought two of his guns legally in California, which means he got a background check. Also, California does have a firearms register. California also bans assault rifles, which were used. The law already existed in California to prevent this type of shooting, but it didn't stop it. Do you think laws should be inacted to prevent certain groups of people from getting guns? Maybe if you are a conservative voter? Or deeply religious? Restrict guns from certain groups?

 

If California bans assault rifles, and they used assault rifles, they didn't get those assault rifles in California, did they?  (At least not legally)  Either they legally purchased them in another state, or illegaly purchased them (in which case this tragedy was likely unpreventable, but that doesn't mean the next one wont' be preventable)


Yes, certain groups of people shouldn't be allowed to get guns.  Including:  Mentally Ill, people with criminal records, and people who don't know how to properly handle and store guns, terrorist suspects... 


Maybe it wouldn't have prevented the tragedy in San Bernadino.  Nothing is going to 100% work.  The idea is to make changes to prevent more of these tragedies from happening.  They're happening at too frequent of a rate.  Maybe you don't think we should do anything to prevent them.  I do.
