    Maybe they should put a sign at the border?

    An AK-47 style rifle the gunman bought legally in Nevada and used to attack people at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in northern California was illegal to transport into the state, according to state Attorney General Xavier Becerra.


    Santino William Legan, 19, killed three people and injured at least 12 others at festival on Sunday with the rifle he bought July 9 in neighboring Nevada, Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee told reporters Monday. Three officers who responded within a minute of the gunfire fatally shot Legan, he said.
    "That weapon could not be sold in California. That weapon cannot be imported into the state of California," Becerra said in response to a question about the assault-style rifle used in the shooting.
    Becerra added: "There is a very strong likelihood as we develop the evidence that the perpetrator in this particular case violated California law on top of the crimes of homicide and so forth, the crimes that we have that are meant to prevent individuals from carrying out this type of activity."

    Criminal offenses can be broken down into two general categories malum in se and malum prohibitum. The distinction between malum in se and malum prohibitum offenses is best characterized as follows: a malum in se offense is "naturally evil as adjudged by the sense of a civilized community," whereas a malum prohibitum offense is wrong only because a statute makes it so.
    State v. Horton, 139 N.C. 588, 51 S.E. 945, 946 (1905).

    They should just pass a law making shooting people illegal in California.

    Yup. That would fix "Everything"

    I listened to the press conference on Dana L. yesterday. Butt head made sure to stress it was an "Assault" type rifle more than a few times

    Of course it was you idiot as he was assaulting people with it. Beyond that it is just an AK 47.

    So now the outrage is toward Nevada seems California assumed that nobody would violate the law and cross a unregulated border with a weapon?

    So meanwhile in Chicago last week 12 killed 59 wounded here is a site that tracks the mad max/escape from NY lifestyle that is Chicago!

    BTW
    Chicago has strict gun laws and a FOID ?

    And took it to a state where he probably figured there would be little resistance, as most of these things tend to happen in what is considered GFZ... Both CA in general and the festival apparently:

    Christmas Hill Park, where the event was taking place, bans weapons of any kind, according to the festival's website.

    From what I heard it sounds like the PD charged the shooter and kept firing at him. Don't know if that a change in tactics or training, but suppressing fire is effective. Looks like it saved lives here.

    The FFL in Nevada posted on Facebook that the guy ordered it off their website and came to pick it up. Presumably that means Nevada residency and passing a 4473.

    Maybe if we’re lucky California will build a wall on their eastern border and post “no guns allowed” signs every 100’ or so. Nah, that’d be too much to hope for.
