ON FAILING TO INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY:
We Must Hold the NRA Accountable After Another Massacre at Their Hands (David Atkins, November 10, 2018, Washington Monthly)
Reasonable countries do not allow people to randomly possess weapons of mass death. Reasonable countries do not allow men who terrorize women to possess weapons of mass death. Reasonable countries do not allow people to modify common weapons of mass death to become even more deadly to large groups, carrying even more rounds of ammunition than originally designed.The Putin-funded National Rifle Association is in part directly responsible for the deaths. In 2016 California voters passed Proposition 63 to ban the possession of high-capacity magazines. This was in large part a response to the deadly San Bernardino shootings enabled by them. But the California chapter of the NRA sued to block implementation of the law, and the case won't be resolved until at least the middle of 2019. So Californians are still legally entitled to own high-capacity magazine attachments to handguns, instruments of death that have no purpose in any realistic self-defense situation but are extremely effective for those looking to aggressively murder as many people as possible.
