Yes I agree. I’m seeing these posts trying to make the case that California’s gun laws somehow played a factor in this, which just doesn’t make sense.And that may help but nothing prevents an angry nutjob from killing.Even if everybody carried guns in Cali the festival banned weapons like most large gatherings do... even Trump rally’s.It's just very difficult to get a gun permit. Cops can arrest the person defending himself just as easily as the perp.California has not banned guns. A lot of hunters here. You got bad intelCalifornia has banned guns, right? but...this sort of tragedy still happens over there!
Perhaps a good guy should have carried a gun to defend himself and others,and the outcome would have been different.
They don't have some kind of force-field around gun-free zones so you're pretty much on your own in the state of California.
