Confederate Sharpshooter

SAN GABRIEL, Calif. (AP)– Masked gunmen opened fire inside a coffee shop, killing two men and wounding five other people before fleeing, police said early Friday. Officers who received a panic alarm call from the Coffee House cafe were headed there Thursday night when they were flagged down by several people who had been shot, police Sgt. Rene Hernandez said. Witnesses said two men with bandanas over their faces entered the cafe and opened fire before fleeing, he said. One victim was declared dead at the scene and another died at a hospital, Hernandez said. Two victims were hospitalized in critical condition. Three others suffered wounds that were not considered life-threatening, including a man who was grazed by a bullet and declined hospital treatment, Hernandez said. San Gabriel is about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

Ok, let us analyze things logically here.
California has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Getting a concealed carry permit is impossible except for the politically well connected, and the Hollywood elite. The murderers were also violating probably a dozen other laws against kidnapping, assault by pointing a firearm, burglary, terrorizing the public, robbery, as well as civil rights violations and of course murders, plural. Apparently, none of these laws deterred these individuals in any way from brutally murdering decent folks doing nothing more than having a morning cup of coffee.
Question: will the people of California realize this, and start demanding that existing laws be enforced, criminals taken off the streets until no longer a threat to the public? Will the laws against self defense be repealed, so that decent people can protect themselves when needed?
Or will it be just another excuse to cry ‘evil guns kill! We need more gun laws!’?
I think you know the answer to that one.
As we used to say in the repair business, you can’t fix it until you understand what’s broken.
