Bakersfield is coming to Santa Maria…!
We need that wall now!! The criminals are just pouring in!
I believe 3/4 of those arrested are Caucasian…. what does that have to do with a wall? LA Times just covered a story about an affluent community in LA that seized thousands of unregistered guns. The owner was caucasian as well and had ties to the government.
Sarcasm, folks……
Some of them are already here.
God, I HATE guns! Hate them. I wish they’d round up all the guns and melt them down.
More gun laws. Because that’s how Mexico solved their gun violence problems.
Legal, illegal, Caucasian, or a person of color isn’t the point here, nor if the Wall should be built. It’s that all the CA gun laws and the dozens yet to be implemented do nothing, and will continue to do nothing, to stop criminals from getting firearms.
Gun laws would help if they were harsh enough I’m all for the death penalty for murder but that is off the table for now anyway..
I don’t think any more guns laws will help, harsh or otherwise. Criminals will always get a gun if they want one, no matter how many laws are in place because “if there’s a will, there’s a way.” But I do think harsh penalties that are actually enforced by our legal system will help, and that includes no early releases from prison or other coddling of criminals.
You don’t think gun laws would help but you don’t know and sure anyone can get a gun but laws would help without them there is nothing we might as well all arm ourselves and shoot get it the hell over with. May the best shooter win. The three strikes law would have worked had it not been for all the back room deal making..I was in New House back in the 90’s the place was for alcoholism not drug addiction yet here came all these drug offenders on their 3rd strike making deals to turn others in for less time or rehab time. Gun laws would help but every ones afraid they will have to give up their weapons.
