The Thousand Oaks shooter, Ian David Long, broke existing gun laws. California limits 10 rounds per magazine, he had an extension that’s illegal in CA. We have background checks and waiting periods. He still did it. Gun laws will not stop murderers. on.msnbc.com/2Pedcnk
What jumps out about the Thousand Oaks shooting again is that Mental Health is clearly at the root of this heinous crime. We need both sides to come together to fund common sense mental health identification, treatment, support and advocacy. Our culture of death must change.
When every form of media glorifies violence, every mass shooter is an instant celebrity, and kids are desensitized to murder, rape, sex + drug abuse you can’t be stumped horrors like this shooting in Thousand Oaks exist. It’s another example of gun laws failing to stop a killer.
