California's strict gun laws no deterrent for San Jose gunman
Fox News
A disgruntled employee who gunned down nine co-workers at a Northern California railyard Wednesday morning appears to have circumvented some of the state’s strict gun laws.
But the magazines he used – 32 in all – held 12 to 15 rounds; magazines with more than 10 rounds are illegal in California, according to The Mercury News of San Jose. "California’s ‘no gun’ policies were completely ignored by the killer. Did that stop the mass murderer? No. Did it leave law-abiding citizens defenseless? Yes." The state banned the sale of those magazines in 2013 and possession of them in 2016, so it’s possible the gunman obtained them legally years ago. He also could have bought them legally for a short period of time last summer during a court challenge before the ban was restored.More Related News
