The shooter at UCLA had at least one legally acquired gun, committed a murder back home, a woman, then DROVE across the country and shot a professor and himself. Local “gun laws” are a problem, not the solution, FEDERAL regulations, where they can keep records for over five days (like the NRA and gun makers can, but the Feds can’t) as restricted by the “Brady Law” the Republicans defanged.
FEDERAL law should require background checks, renewed every four years for concealed carry as my state does, and PROOF the buyer has had training in firearms use, and more importantly, the ETHCIAL use of firearms on when to shoot and when NOT to! “Stand your ground” laws should be limited as Scalia noted in DC vs Heller; in YOUR HOME, the right to possess arms is guaranteed, just as the RESPONSIBILITY OF GOVERNMENT IS TO REGULATE FIREARMS WHEN YOU GO OUTSIDE YOUR HOME. If you are outside in public or ON OTHER PEOPLES’ PROPERTY (As Zimmerman was), “stand your ground” should be “beat feet if you can!” And DON’T START A FIGHT!
