California has the toughest gun laws in the U.S. That's irrelevant if they're not enforced - Yahoo News
How much money are we willing to spend to seize guns from the likes of the disturbed father who shot and killed his three daughters in a church?
And are Sacramento Democrats now willing to retool California’s controversial sanctuary law after it probably protected the father living here illegally from federal immigration agents days before he killed his kids?
Putting a price tag on the lives of young girls is an impossible task. But the priority should be a lot higher than where we’re placing it now, despite all the rhetoric about the need for tight gun control.
California has the toughest state gun laws in the nation. But that’s irrelevant if they’re not adequately enforced — and they’re not.
“We need to enforce more of the laws that we have,” state Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta acknowledges. “The rise in violent crime throughout the country is almost entirely because of guns.”
In particular, he adds, “ghost guns are a new challenge we need to rise to.”
They’re unregistered guns that are assembled from purchased parts. It’s practically impossible to trace them to a violent owner so they can be seized.
You undoubtedly read the sad, unimaginable story about the father killing his children.
Turns out that 39-year-old David Mora was living in the country illegally and used an illegal ghost gun.
Mora was subject to a domestic violence restraining order that forbade him from going near his former girlfriend, Ileana Gutierrez Rios, the girls’ mother. In seeking the order last May, she warned a Sacramento court that he was dangerous and had threatened her and to kill himself.
Rios asked that he also be kept away from their kids. But the court bought Mora’s protest that he wanted “a healthy relationship” with his children. And he was granted weekly supervised visits with the girls.
On Feb. 28, Mora and his daughters were visiting in a Sacramento church when he opened fire with a ghost AR-15-style assault rifle. It was equipped with an illegal high-capacity 30-round magazine. In all, 17 shots were fired, killing the girls, ages 9, 11 and 13, and the chaperone, a mutual friend of Mora and Rios.
