Gilroy, California – -(AmmoLand.com)- Early reports coming over the news channels on the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting are all over the place, with eyewitness claims of machine-guns, multiple active shooters, 100 of bullets whizzing by heads, etc. All the typical hysteria we see in the first reports of any tragic mass shooting.
Early Police reports are that as many as 11 people were injured and three people are dead, in a shooting Sunday at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Northern California.
The only thing we know for a fact at this moment is that the Gilroy Garlic Festival and the host location in Christmas Hill Park is a Gun Free Zone. That means none of the law-abiding festival attendees were armed. They were all sitting ducks.
The Gilroy Garlic Festival website clearly lists the Christmas Hill Park as a gun-free killing zone, banning “weapons of any kind”.
Christmas Hill Park is a 51-acre community park operated by the City of Gilroy in southwest Santa Clara County, California. Gilroy lists the park as a deadly Gun-Free zone.
The anti-gun Brady Center for Gun Control ranks California number one (#1) for having the “strongest” (read most oppressive) gun laws that help keep guns out of the hands of lawful U.S citizens.
We will update this story as we get more information.
Of course you can…Say it….Any snowflakes ready this are in their very own “SAFE PLACE” now….
A garlic festival? Maybe the guy hated stinky breath. Anyway, it is a big black eye for commiefornia to have a mass murder, or several, where gun control laws are so strict. They would probably answer that the only way to stop this is to take every gun away, all over the whole world. That would solve the problem of honest people having them but the black market and criminals would see a field day. Take the dumb ass “gun free zone signs” and shove them up the democrats posterior never to be read again
“GUN FREE ZONE” Nothing but A Sign, So Here’s Your Sign, 11 People were Injured, Three People Dead. The Conclusion is Obvious, and Undeniable, Stay out of Those Zones or Take Them Down, Personally I don’t make a Habit of Going where I can NOT Carry. My Condolences To Those Who Lost Love Ones In This Tragedy.
For the police to be there so quickly at the right spot, one has to wonder if there was prior knowledge of this going to happen. The shooter is dead so no information will come from him, now this can be spun anyway they want to pump up more, angst, for more gun control. They mentioned automatic weapons in one report but there were no automatic weapons in the vicinity, unless you count what the police had. But news media people and politicians don’t care if the truth is stretched as long as they get something in their favor out… Read more »
Politicians and bureaucrats are incompetent to provide any deterent to stop these shootings. Instead they pile more laws on top of existing laws that further endanger a once free society. It is clear that the government at any level cannot and will not address the fact that legislation alone won’t stop a madman from committing carnage. Ineffective laws are as useless as the people who make them. Society is based on what works and what doesn’t. Government on the other hand doesn’t have to do anything right. Procecute the authors of these policies as an accessory to the crime because… Read more »
The utmost reason to keep our arms, is because others do not want us to have them.
