I went up to a cute chick and asked her if she'd let me take a photo of her for $30 she slapped me, she said to me that "I AIN'T A WHORE!"
But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".
OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

open more mental health services for the veterans..... weapon could have been a knife, a bomb, anything...
But that takes funding the VA services for healthcare, and we all know how much the current party in power hates funding subsidized healthcare. Maybe with the shift in the House some measure an be taken, but veterans services will not see any increase in funding under the current administration, despite its near fetishistic worship of "the troops".
What laws that they don't already have In California would you suggest could have prevented this?
How about a complete ban on guns period. Find all gun owners, take the guns, search people entering the state for weapons, and collect those guns as well.
No guns within the state, no guns coming into the state. Next news articles will be about a guy pulling out a knife injuring 3 before getting tackled and arrested.

That sort of a policy would be guaranteed to start a new US civil war, and guess who would have all the guns?
I don't know enough about Californias laws to have an answer to that, nor did I claim to.
Maybe I'm guilty of assuming you were taking an angle, that you weren't, based on your other posts.
So, is the fact someone can easily, legally acquire a gun (not necessarily in California, but America) making things easier to commit these acts?
You should look them up. I did. Licensing and sales are quite restrictive, even by Canadian standards. And that's just me scratching the surface with a brief overview.
this is a list of steps required to obtain a firearm in california.
the only testing requirement costs 50$ and when i looked it up, it was a 50ish page pdf, and supposedly has a test you have to write.
for comparison, to get a non-restricted firearms license (most small calibre rifles with a few exceptions, and pump/lever/bolt action rifles and shotguns, and some centre fire rifles) in canada requires taking an 8 hour course, writing a fairly long test, and then waiting 6-8 weeks while the RCMP reviews your file and checks your background, and calls your references.
the restricted license (all handguns, and most semi automatic centrefire rifles) is an extra couple hours i think, and an extra test on top of the NR. same background checks, though when you buy your first restricted firearm they do another set of checks i believe.
the tests for these licenses are usually rolled up into the cost of the course, i think the person i got my restricted training from carges like ... 140 for non-restricted and 180 for non-restricted and restricted.
there is a 60$ application fee for NR, 80$ if you're applying for a restricted license (which requires an NR license) i was adding restricted onto my NR license so i just paid the difference because it hadn't been long since i got my NR license.
so all-in-all you're looking at nearly 300$, and a significant time investment.
From what i found it was actually $100 for license. And it only lasts 2 years.
Regardless, do you think a lengthier training course and slightly higher fee would have deterred this? Be honest.

Given the rift that's already developing in the USA and getting worse and worse by the day, do you think that those people would just surrender them all willingly? These people will fight the military, and the military has many people within it that would fight for their right to guns.
The only way out of the current situation is with small regulatory baby steps over a loooonng period of time such that a few generations from now it will be normalized for the average citizen to not think they "need" guns in their life.
Problem right now is that not enough of their politicians care to even attempt to make that first baby step.

So you mean they will become terrorists and kill their neighbors. You really think most people will quit their jobs leave their families and go into the bush to fight the military? Not going to happen. People have been talking about the south rising again ever since the civil war ended.

The second amendment protects the first.
Socialists who are more than happy to give every last ounce of control to the state don't seem to grasp that.

If tensions were to reach the point of civil war and gun rights were the catalyst, I would imagine there would be a divide among the military since many are pro 2nd Amendment. To serve one's country or to protect your own rights. It wouldn't be a war between citizens and the military. It would be citizens and military vs citizens and military.
The idea is preposterous.
Who would even take orders from, and very possibly die for, a country in order to eradicate the very constitution it was founded on?
To say it wouldn't be popular is a ridiculous understatement.

and they would be charged with treason.

And whose going to enforce that?
The only ones who are willing to disregard the constitution are leftists. And last time i checked, they were advocating for safe spaces out of fear of being offended.
Not exactly the type to risk their lives tearing law abiding (and some not so law abiding) citizens guns from their hands.

You don't understand how the military works. From day one soldiers are taught to respect the chain of command. It's drilled into there brains. There is nothing worse than being a traitor.
