An amazing case for reducing gun ownership in America

@messy you and the other liberal lemmings on this forum are so hypocritical. You come out crying when there is a tragic shooting like this one in Gilroy yet never say anything when a policeman is shot and killed or with a black on black shooting... SMH

Freedom! You're right! Who needs a little temporary safety for kids and concertgoers, etc.? Look at the liberty we have protected with our semi-automatics. Remember all those occasions?

Report: Garlic Festival Gunman Acquired Rifle ‘Legally’

The California Gilroy Garlic Festival gunman reportedly “legally” purchased the rifle he used in his attack.

CNN reports Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee discovered that the gunman lived in Nevada with family members for a time. In fact, Smithee noted police are not really sure how long the gunman had been back in California before the shooting occurred.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the rifle, an AK-47 variant, was purchased from Big Mikes Gun and Ammo in Fallon, Nevada. A retail purchase such as this would require a background check, thus making the sale legal.

He also purchased a shotgun from another gun store in Reno on July 1. Again, the gun store purchase would have required a background check to be legal.

The gunman used the AK-47 variant in the attack.

Interestingly, numerous gun controllers responded to the attack by calling for universal background checks. However, California has universal background checks and law enforcement’s explanation that the gunman legally purchased firearms in Nevada gun stores means he underwent background checks there. Those checks would have been conducted by the FBI.

Nearly every mass shooter and/or high-profile shooter of the past 15 years acquired guns via a background check. The few exceptions are those who stole their firearms.

Here is a partial list of attackers who bought their guns legally, i.e., who acquired them via background checks:

  • Virginia Beach attacker (May 31, 2019)
  • Poway Synagogue attacker (April 27, 2019)
  • Tree of Life Synagogue attacker (October 27, 2018)
  • Parkland high school attacker (February 14, 2018)
  • Texas church attacker (November 5, 2017)
  • Las Vegas attacker (October 1, 2017)
  • the Alexandria attacker (June 14, 2017))
  • Orlando attacker (June 12, 2016)
  • the UCLA gunman (June 1, 2016))
  • the San Bernardino attackers (December 2, 2015)
  • the Colorado Springs attacker (October 31, 2015)
  • the Umpqua Community College attacker (October 1, 2015)
  • Alison Parker’s attacker (August 26, 2015)
  • the Lafayette movie theater attacker (July 23, 2015)
  • the Chattanooga attacker (July 16, 2015)
  • the alleged Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal attacker (Jun 17, 2015)
  • the Muhammad Carton Contest attackers (May 3, 2014)
  • the Las Vegas cop killers (June 9, 2015)
  • the Santa Barbara attacker (May 23, 2014)
  • the Fort Hood attacker (April 2, 2014)
  • the Arapahoe High School attacker (December 13, 2013)
  • the D.C. Navy Yard attacker (September 16, 2013)
  • the Aurora movie theater attacker (July 20, 2012)
  • Gabby Giffords’ attacker (January 8, 2011)
  • the Fort Hood attacker (November 5, 2009)
  • the Virginia Tech attacker (April 16, 2007)
It should be noted that the rifle used by the gunman is illegal in California, as is murder and assault. However, illegalities meant nothing to the gunman when the time came to ply his horrid trade. And this is the overarching reason gun control has no impact on the criminally-minded. It only constrains law-abiding citizens.

CBS Chicago reports that the shooting victims included people walking, standing outside gas stations, and standing on sidewalks.

In one of the incidents a 15-year-old, 14-year-old, and a 10-year-old were shot when a Toyota drove by the sidewalk on which they were standing and opened fire. The wounds proven superficial and the three boys “were in good condition at Stroger Hospital.”

The most recent fatality of the weekend occurred just before 5 a.m. Police found a 24-year-old man “dead in the North Lawndale neighborhood.” He had “multiple gunshot wounds, including to his face and head.”

The four dozen victims shot July 26-28 are only the latest in a string of victims in Democrat-controlled Chicago.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom pointed the finger at President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers after a tragic shooting in Gilroy, California, took the lives of three people over the weekend, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Six-year-old Stephen Romero, 13-year old Keyla Salazar, and 25-year-old Trevor Irby were killed at a food festival by a gunman who was using a rifle that is banned in California. Twelve other people were injured. Police killed the gunman at the scene.

"You have a right to bear arms but not weapons of goddamned mass destruction," Newsom said. "You need these damn things for hunting? Give me a break."

Newsom blamed the tragedy on a "culture of gun violence" he said is perpetuated by Trump and the Republican Party.

"It's just sickening... the leadership today that just turns a blind eye and won't do a damn thing to address these issues," Newsom told reporters. "What's goddamned absent in this country right now is moral authority."

Newsom also accused the White House of hindering California's efforts to establish stricter gun laws. The gun used in the Sunday shooting was legally purchased in Nevada, and was described by police as an "assault-type rifle."

"California's doing its part, but Jesus, these guys, the folks in the White House have been supporting the kinds of policies that roll back the work that we're doing," Newsom said. "It keeps happening, over and over and over again, on their damned watch."

Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee credited his officers for their quick response and ability to take the gunman down, "despite the fact that they were outgunned, with their handguns, against a rifle."

"We had thousands of people there in a very small area," Smithee said in an emotional interview, according to the Los Angeles Times. "It could have gotten so much worse, so fast. I'm really proud that they got there as quickly as they did. There absolutely would have been more bloodshed."
