Hey look, gun control laws work! http://www.sciencealert.com/20-year-review-of-australia-s-gun-laws-has-one-clear-finding-they-work

Great. Now all we have to do is float out into the ocean to eliminate all the land borders, homogenize the society, reduce the population to 1/20th what it currently is, leave all refugees and migrants on an island to die, and we can be just like Australia. Oh, and provide health care.

Fwiw, australia is a lot like california.

Not sure thats relevant here.

Anyone hear something about jerry brown signing new gun laws yesterday for 2017?

Yep. All "bullet button" firearms illegal. Must have background and register ammo. Also must turn in any magazine over 10 rounds (even if purchased legally 20 years ago). He vetoed a bill for harsher penalties for crimes committed with firearms. Idiot

So does that mean its passed? Or does can it be blocked by someone going forward?

 He signed them and they going into effect January 1 but I have a feeling these will end up at a higher court

Good to know its still just a misdemeanor to steal a gun though.

Fun fact. In california, carrying nunchucks is a felony (wobbler). Carrying a concealed, loaded firearm is still a misdemeanor...

To make it a felony would be racist or something.

Common sense rules the day once again in Sacramento.

If those cops in Dallas had guns, blah blah blah.

Better, they had a robot with a bomb.

Racist in South Carolina kills 9 people in a church. Racism and Confederate Flag to blame. Racist kills 5 white cops. Guns again

They have made a statement. " The reports from #Minnesota are troubling and must be thoroughly investigated. #2A #NRA"

Seems appropriate as the only fact anyone knows is that Castile was shot and killed by a police officer. I don't understand why people were demanding they make comments without knowing what happened.

11 officers shot. 5 dead. Dallas, Texas

Texas is an open carry state

What excuse will the NRA have for this?

What does that have to do with anything? There were other protesters that were carrying and didn't do anything violent. Remember this dude? He saw his name posted as a suspect so he turned himself and gun over to police. He was cleared of wrong doing. Obviously if you open carry you are putting yourself at risk.

It also didn't stop shit which is why the argument for more people being armed is a load of bullshit.

[Puget Sound Angel]

Crazy will always find a way.  Guns are just an excuse.

Do I need to find the sword and knife killers in China from a few years ago? 

[Jason]

Japanese are badass with the swords. 

[Amazing Larry]

I wonder if it was a Hattori Hanzo sword or just some run of the mill Ginsu.
