In the media’s defence, it seems that that term is defined in some states and shooting circles.What the hell is an assault pistol? What media genius thought this up?
RIP to the victims
California should look North, where illegal handgun use isn’t an issue thanks to the coherent, principled stand the current federal government has taken on handguns…California has some of the toughest gun laws in the US.
Figuring out what causes this and working on that will work to fix this.
If we call them self protection pistols, do you think the government will let us keep the guns we don't have?In the media’s defence, it seems that that term is defined in some states and shooting circles.
Just google the term and you can see why some would use it. Including firearms sellers and dealers.
In serious though, Rest In Peace to the victims. Italmostsounds like an everyday saying sometimes, we read about these things so often now.
CTV news mentions there have been 33 mass shootings so far in 2023. So RIP 1.4 times per day since the start of the new year.
For the weekend a website is reporting 34 people hurt, 11 killed in 3 events on Sunday, and plus this event Saturday.CTV news mentions there have been 33 mass shootings so far in 2023. So RIP 1.4 times per day since the start of the new year.
Lots of rich people in jail for violent crimes ........socio-economic is just another phrase to make excuses for assholish behavior.Evil and evil doers exist. And until we tackle the root causes of it (using socio-economic investment both monetary and sweat) it wont change and will probably only get worse.

Mass shootings among thugs don't trouble me.
The issue with your first is that eventually one of the thugs will hit an innocent or they will target the wrong person. The Rock Machine and HA were given a free pass until a young person was killed as "Collateral damage".Mass shootings among thugs don't trouble me. Mass shootings by people temporarily or permanently unhinged do trouble me. They aren't equivalent and ought not be measured together. Misunderstood problems can't be fixed except by fortuitous accident.
I believe California has the strictest gun control in the US but also the highest number of mass shootings.California has some of the toughest gun laws in the US.

With over 39 million people (according to July 2021 estimates), California is the nation’s most populous state—its population is much larger than that of second-place Texas (29 million) and third-place Florida (22 million).
Agreed, but the problems are different and require different solutions. Mental health care, for example, is not going to fix gang warfare.
