Jesus that would be scary.

 

In ten years time gatherings in public areas will be banned in many states because of the sheer volume of shootings.

[mclumber1]

I hope this ends with little bloodshed.

Right wingers don't even need to cross their fingers over this not being a white person anymore thanks to Trump.

Garlic is Gilroy’s thing. Growing up in the bay I don’t think I’ve ever been to Gilroy (it’s like outskirts of the Bay Area) but everybody in the bay knows garlic = Gilroy

Gilroy is the garlic capital of the United States so it’s only natural for them to celebrate that.

Sounds stinky but awesome to me.

Garlic is an amazing addition to almost every food there is, from potatoes, to beef, to italian. But it's a little wierd that conversation about garlic is what a shooting thread turns into.

Gilroy wasn't the only shooting at a celebration over the weekend.

 

One killed, 12 wounded in shooting in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

In California owners had to start registering their guns that are classified as "assault weapons" last year. They were also allowed to sell them out of state, surrender them to law enforcement, or modify them so they are no longer considered assault weapons, if they didn't want to register the firearms.  Now that California has a registry of who owns these guns, I wonder if they'll take any type of enforcement/confiscation action to get these guns out of the hands of civilians in the state.

I can just imagine the ridiculous, arbitrary rules of what constitutes an assault weapon in California...

The deceased suspect was 19 years old.

 

No, I'm not giving his name - you can find that out on your own easily enough.

So the shooter lived in the little town just North of here... Only about 150 people live there. 

Needless to say the FBI raiding here is the talk of the town.

Our first Italian mass shooter. Finally, we did something of note.

[SaysWho?]

On NPR, they said the shooter got the gun from Nevada where gun laws are more lax, and they're investigating a white power post on Instagram for potentially inspiring the shooter to do this.

That seems to be a recurring theme.

A couple of potential scenarios here: 

 

The Nevada gun shop broke federal and state law by selling this gun to him if the guy was a California resident - Federal law says a person from out of state can buy a rifle in your state, provided it doesn't violate any of the laws from that person's home state.  This gun was a prohibited weapon in California.  The buyer was under 21.  The seller failed to ship the gun to a California dealer, where the background check and 10 day waiting period would occur.

 

The guy was a Nevada resident - No federal law was broken by selling the rifle to him.  However, the shooter broke several laws when he illegally transported a prohibited weapon into the state, and was not old enough to possess any weapon.
