Confronting the problem of mass shootings here in California

In the last week, our state was again rocked by mass shootings.

A Lunar New Year celebration turned tragic as a lunatic took 11 lives in Monterey Park. Barely a day later, a disgruntled employee killed seven coworkers in Half Moon Bay. Once again, we are distraught and looking for answers to the scourge of gun violence.

Many Democrats’ knee-jerk reaction is to further restrict Californians’ Second Amendment rights. But despite some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, California continues to be plagued by violence.
