California – -(AmmoLand.com)- The tragedy this weekend at the renowned Gilroy Garlic Festival confirms what supporters of the 2nd Amendment community have always known – that gun control has no bearing on the evil intent of evil people.
The slaughter of 3 innocents – two of whom are children breaks our hearts for the loss of life. It also makes our blood boil because politicians and the anti-gun crowd are already using the tragedy to gain some sort of political traction. It’s appalling.
Ever since this awful event occurred, GOC’s Executive Director Sam Paredes has been interviewed by many in both radio and print media, including the Wall Street Journal, the Sacramento Bee, and the San Jose Mercury News.
“The intent of this killer was clear – and his act shows the abject failure of gun control in California and people are paying with their lives as proof,” said Paredes.
“It was a target-rich environment that policymakers call a “gun-free zone” – and the perpetrator cut through a fence to avoid metal detectors – it’s lunacy to think a piece of legislation was going to stop this monster.”

It isn’t guns that need more controlling, but the decaying social fabric of North America. A nation subjugated by a utopian political creed, which promised heaven on earth, but became an inhuman labyrinth of emptiness, self-deception, fatigue, hopelessness and despair. Where liberty and freedom are cheapened, and the founding principles of democracy forgotten. A society whose laws and ideals simply became perverted forums for a predatory world, whose false ideologies have teeth. A society devoid of moral and ethical pivots, its social contract merely an impeachable imperative whose forum is easily manipulated by any tribune, or demagogue, who promised purpose… Read more »
As highlighted on FOX Tucker show last night, the calls for assault weapon bans, common sense gun control and the the public comments by Governor USLESS aka the next Max Headroom were in full force BEFORE ANY DETAILS on the gunman and the investigation was started.
He had purchased the rifle in Nevada legally where he lived, THREE WEEKS before he planned to murder citizens.
Ignore personal responsibility and blame the gun/tool. DWI is the fault of the booze, not the drunk. A carpenter hits his thumb with the hammer, it’s the hammer’s fault. Obesity is the fault of the fork/spoon, not the consumer. Libel is the fault of the pen and paper, not the writer. It is not a difficult concept to grasp unless you’re an idiot, stupid, a liberal or a Democrat, but I repeat myself.
Blessed is the nation who’s GOD is the LORD. Starting in the early 60’s, less than honorable people complained to less than honorable lawyers who sued the U.S. government in a less than honorable court house with a less than honorable judge. All of this has gone down exactly like Kruchev said he would do, while speaking at the united nations. This is basically what happened to destroy the Roman empire. Create as many special, victim of something people as you can, pay illegal’s people’s bills, make a mockery of marriage, legalize the murder of babies, make legal infanticide, drug… Read more »
Funny no one ever mentions what psychotropic drugs these kids are on, and that’s my first thought; they are ALL are on something. You can thank the billion-dollar drug industry and the AMA for the silence hidden behind “patient privacy”.
