Background checks for all gun purchases-outrageous! LOL.
Well, it's about damn time. Even so, there will still be far too many clowns buying far too many guns.
Please explain how it will be enforced. If it goes into effect on Jan 1 I can still sell a gun to someone else in a face to face transaction on Jan 2. If the buyer interacts with police on Jan 3, how will the police know if he bought the gun legally or illegally?
Lets see now...what gun laws have been involved with the guns used by the shooters? OK, my understanding is that they had 2, AR-pattern rifles, that were legally purchased by someone else in CA.
1) CA has a mandatory background check law. But they were not sold legally to the terrorists that had them. Somewhere, someone either broke the background check law by selling them to the terrorists, or the guns were stolen.
2) Every semi-auto in CA has to have a reduced capacity magazine and it has to be permanently attached. Both weapons were illegally modified for standard capacity magazines. So law 2 broken.
3) One of the guns was reportedly modified for automatic operation (aka "machine gun"). Such modifications are illegal at both the federal and state level. So law 3 broken.

The fiance was an alien here on a visa. Her possession of a firearm was a crime. Law 4.
So...since these terrorists weren't bothered by breaking these gun control laws-just what makes some weak-minded people think they would obey others? Not to mention that they broke laws against murder. Here's a clue for the perpetually slow-criminals break laws.
What the liberal lemmings don't get is anything this idiot signs as an EO can be unsigned once he is evicted from the WH.
