Obamas Fast and Furious worked so well.Lets let this dingus draft some more gun regulations to put with the rest of the countless thouands of other gun laws.

"officers were called to a residence in the 2000 block of Indian Village Lane. investigators were called to the 800 block of Westwood Boulevard for a report of another gunshot victim"

What do these two locations have in common? Both are section 8 housing. So, I would claim government housing causes more violence than guns. Prove me wrong on dat one!

Object of distain: If the govt can't regulate illegal drugs entering this country, why should I expect them to regulate guns? They can't even track stolen cars being hacked into parts & shipped around the world.

This one's for you too: http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2020373291_westneat17xml.html

"One of the major gun-control efforts in Olympia this session calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners.Forget police drones flying over your house. How about police coming inside, once a year, to have a look around?"

So did the law makers pass this bill without reading it (like obama care) or did they sneak this one in as a 'trial balloon'?

It's allways a 'gradual' heating of the pot, so the frog don't jump out. Maybe you should study history some more.
