Four people are dead and 11 more were hurt after a shooting in Stockton, California Saturday night, ABC 10 reported.
California Democrats have imposed the strictest gun laws in the U.S., but on lawful citizens and legal gun owners. Rather than focusing on those who commit violent crime, Democrats obsess over guns. And it's not really working, is it? When guns are outlawed, only the outlaws have guns, as this horrific shooting in Stockton demonstrates.
Details are sketchy at this point. But the AP reports local officials confirmed the suspected shooter has not been caught. Someone knows who did this.
In June, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that California's law requiring firearm owners to undergo background checks when buying ammunition goes against the second amendment and is unconstitutional, the Globe reported.
Because California's law forced gun owners to pay a fee and face some delays while the state processes their background check, the three-judge panel found the law constrains residents' right to keep and bear arms in violation of the Second Amendment.
As I include in nearly every article about California Democrats' gun control measures, in 2013, then-Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) authored a bill banning ammo:
"Bullets, the very thing that make guns deadly," said then-Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner in a hearing in 2013 I reported on.
Assembly Bill 48 by Skinner (D-Berkeley), bans the sale of magazine parts kits that can hold more than 10 cartridges, and requires mandatory reporting of law-abiding citizens who purchase more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition within a five-day period. However her bill expanded the definition of "large-capacity magazine" to include disassembled parts even if the parts only "appear" to hold more than 10 rounds. Her ridiculous bill was really just legislation about guns that look scary to the Assemblywoman from Berkeley. As expected, then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 48 into law.
As AWR Hawkins, a Second Amendment expert for Breitbart writes, "California's gun controls include a red flag law, an 'assault weapons' ban, a 'high capacity' magazine ban, a 10-day waiting period on gun purchases, universal background checks, gun registration requirements, a limit on the number of guns law-abiding citizens can buy each month, prohibitions against concealed carry for self-defense in 'sensitive places,' a ban on concealed carry for self-defense on college campuses, a ban on K-12 teachers being armed for classroom defense, and numerous ammunition controls."
Democrats even banned the Glock! The California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1127, and Governor Gavin Newsom signed it to BAN any new purchase of all models of Glock handguns, effective July 1, 2026.
What can we say, other than to share Gun Owners of California's assessment:
GLOCK BAN BILL: All Politics - Zero Safety
Democrats call the Glock a "machinegun-convertible pistol." Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino), and fellow gun control supporters literally redefined semi-automatic pistols as "convertible."
The ridiculous bill is unconstitutional under prior Supreme Court precedent in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller, the 2008 Supreme Court case that ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.
In the Second Amendment Foundation Glock Lawsuit, they say, "Undeterred, the State is now expanding its ban on 'popular handguns designed for self-defense.'"
Meanwhile, three minors and an adult are dead, and 11 others were shot and hurt at a family gathering in Stockton.
No gun control law works to keep people safe from bad guys - only armed citizens can protect themselves and their families.
