What we should be able to expect is to hear CA politicians admit that making firearms and magazines illegal doesn't prevent crime and that gun -free zones provide easy soft targets for the mentally unstable and criminal element. I won't be holding my breath.

Did his AR have a bullet button, or was it CA illegal?

What I would like to see is the police that prevented the idiot from killing 30 more people by going in and taking him out getting some sort of award, as opposed to the group at Virginia Tech that stood by until the shooting stopped who should have been prosecuted for dereliction of duty.

With all the laws in commiefornia, we will probably see new ones from them making murder more illegal, and using an illegal weapon as a murder device more illegal.

Agreed. They did an excellent job of putting an end to the situation. Cheers to these guys for putting it out there on the line!

It's quite convenient that this individual happens to have a history for mental illness..... I mean, with all the crap they have been catching for confiscating the once legally purchased weapons from people who've since been found to not fit to own them based on medical history........ Kinda makes ya wonder.

I agree that here should be laws against murdering people with guns. Then maybe people wouldn't get murdered.

I read an article that had pictures of the "handgun and extra receiver" they kept mentioning in the news. The handgun looks yo be an old/replica Colt Army/Navy revolver and the reviewer is the upper from an old AR-15 A1. Looks like the kid had a father who liked to collect guns. Or the SMPD put that in there to push an agenda.

While I agree with the spirit of your comment, we have to realize that LEO's SOP's on situations like this have only recently changed. Before, first responders were told to secure the perimeter until SWAT arrived and then they would go in and deal with the situation. Now they realize that this just isn't the way to handle these types of situations and the first responders are being trained (in some areas) to go in and (hopefully) disarm the suspect before they can cause any further loss of life.

They have tons of pics of the extra stuff he was carrying. I'm curious to see the actual weapon.
