Preventing Gun Violence in California is Paramount

There is nothing new in this article, these are the same agenda items Handgun Control, Inc. (aka "The Brady Bunch") have been singing for the past twenty years.
Items 1, 2, 3, & 5 are the law in California yet criminal use of firearms is increasing because of the federal loosening of regulations? This is nonsense as is your macro-analysis of selective statistics to support your agenda.
If a police department is "out-gunned" by look-alike semiautomatic firearms, that is a departmental decision, not a reason to disarm the general populace.
The Tiahrt Amendment is a protective measure necessitated by the abuse of the much vaunted "crime gun trace data" information by elected officials with a gun control agenda (i.e Bloomberg and friends). In no way does it restrict information for legitimate law enforcement investigations.
High Tech solutions to accidental shootings are a noble cause and should be adopted by law enforcement for there own officers...except for those availability and reliability issues.
Besides, Obama will not allow these actions to be addressed, he has promised to protect the second amendment rights of the people, remember?

Hey Griffin, any chance we could use your head for target practice in validating your gun "theories"?

Honestly, I've never seen so many wrong "statistics" in a single article. I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and vomit a more cogent commentary than this pile of tripe.

This faqqot "progressive" movement is just more liberal intolerance for the rights of NORMAL people, who aren't perverts, weirdos, envirowhackos, or delusional 60's era hippies who never figured out how to dress themselves.

Fortunately, we've got the 2nd Amendment, and as soon as we get a couple of years of "niqqernomics" under our belt, we're going to take this country back from cunning stunts like you.

That's right. If criminals can't get guns, they will be completely harmless.

Because we all know that violence was nonexistent before those darn guns came along...

...And it's not like law-abiding citizens have any desire to use and possess firearms for peaceful purposes...

Dr. Dix, responding to your article.
item 1. Do criminals buy at gun shops? I do not think so.
item 2. How many assault weapon incidents are your aware of? They are bulky and hard to conceal for criminals.
item 3. see item 1 above
item 4. see item 1 above
item 5. not technically feasible today...also millions of firearms are in circulation and the method does not work with very lethal shotguns.
item 6. see item 1 above
item 7. Look at pictures?..

"Do criminals buy at gun shops? I do not think so."

Yeah, they steal from people's houses who buy at gun shops.

Griffin Dix, Phd,
You speech and words chosen are old hat. When are the Educated going to find and use something new?
Griffin you use the same old worn out words the so-called Educated folks use, matter of fact the same ole words that the Brady Bunch use, "Gun control, registration, back ground checks, assault weapons bans", same old worn out words or phrases. Why don't you ban the human race, but that would put you into the mix, that might solve your feeble attempt at straightening the world. Next time you need protection, try defending yourself without outside assistance.

Cities like Oakland, SF, or Chicago will continue to have such issues simply because they continue to not prosecute criminals (using federal laws already on the books).

Your points noted hardly worth the effort but I will say something with regards to several of them.

#3. The wife and I make 24/year. Whoopee. No limit for PPT's. Yet another joke of a proposal.

#5 and #6 will never actually be implemented regardless of conceived legislation. And both are easy enough to circumvent.

As for #2.

With the Heller decision stating "ALL COMMON ARMS ARE OFF THE TABLE," and with Nordyke and incorporation right around the corner (heard this Thursday), you might want to really think about what you want thrown out on the federal level.

So please please please push a federal assault weapons ban as soon as possible. Make it a number one priority. The sooner you guys pass your silly law, the sooner it will get thrown out Federally. Say 6 months?

Only an uneducated moron would confuse gun control with crime control. Dix obviously bought his PhD diploma on the internet. He certainly does not possess the intellence requisite to earning one.

I can't say it better!!!

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.-Thomas Jefferson

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms..disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one." - Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria, Criminologist in 1764. That was 230 years ago. -Thomas Jefferson
