California Edison shooting

[John D]

Here we are, in the Republic of California, suffering under the some of the most repressive guns laws in the nation....and, a terrible shooting occurs.

Again, it reinforces the point that cracking down on legally possessed firearms do NOT prevent gun crimes!

Three people are dead, three others are in critical condition and at least two other people were hurt in a workplace shooting at a Southern California Edison office in Irwindale, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

The unidentified gunman shot and killed himself after shooting a man and woman, said Irwindale Police Chief Dennis Smith.

Australia instituted very strict gun controls after a shooting in a place called Port Arthur.... A truly tragic event. Since instituting the very strict controls, gun violence is up astronomically, something like 500%.

One just can't convince "Progressives" that guns don't kill people, people do.

Reference please

NVBigEd:

Have you a reference for the "something like 500%" statement. I have been to Australia many times. It is one of my favorite countries and I would like read your source. Thanks.
