You choose to bring up the big bad AK and ignore the facts of the story. First off the AK is a banned weapon in California. So wholesale gun ownership as you call it isn't to blame. The question should be why was this criminal on the street to begin with. As a minor he committed felonies but was protected by the city from federal authorities who would have deported him. Then as a adult not 2 months before this killing he was found in possession of a gun used in a double homicide and again was released. The man is a killer and guns are the tools he uses to commit his killings. It will turn out that the AK was stolen as was the hand gun in the prior killings. So while you choose to blame the gun I will stick to the criminal and the criminal activities of the city that allowed it to happen. When the city chose to violate federal law and become a sanctuary city they planted the seeds for the events described in the story.

After reading the story you should see that the city is to blame. By creating their sanctuary status they invited the criminal element into the city. They had the person in question in custody twice as a minor for felonies and once not two months prior to the killings as an adult. They shielded him from the federal authorities and cost three people their lives in the process. While I think Tancredo is an idiot and he should stick to business of the House in this case I think he's right since the city has shown time and again that they can't deal with the problem they created.

And the reason they envision a borderless world is so that american workers can be worth as much as foreign workers -- up to $2/day.
