California This Time
Four people were killed and ten injured when a gunman went on a rampage in Northern California. Washington Post: At least 4 dead after gunman ‘randomly picking targets’ goes on shooting rampage in Northern California
The carnage won't stop until we get rid of the guns. Guns are not a hobby nor a means of defense - they're a menace.

Will it ever be possible to get rid of all of them?
No.
And what of the black market? The old adage...that when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns...seems apt.
Most murders are not committed by outlaws. They're committed by normal people who own or happen to have access to guns. An older study found that 80% of murder victims knew their killers and 16% were blood relatives (Murder in Large Urban Counties, 1988).

One more reason for not closing this thread...
This thread is a repository for a great deal of information and arguments about gun control and mass murders. One thread, one place to search. Closing this thread and opening a new one would require two places to search. The same logic applies to the The Trump Presidency thread. Trump will be president for four or eight years. One thread, one place to search for stuff.
