As Villaraigosa explained ahead of his city's buyback program, it's also about taking action. "I think everybody was so traumatized," he said. "People said, 'I don't wait on the Congress, I'm tired of the endless debates about responsible gun control legislation, I want to do my part." As it were, one of the first guns collected at Wednesday was a Bushmaster XM-15, the same assault rifle that Adam Lanza used at Sandy Hook |
I did read it, what do YOU think it's stating that I've missed? We still have gun crime in LA, historically this program is NOT attracting the firearms that are out there generally used for crimes.
I expect to hear, very shortly, that the Bushmaster handed in was a 'Judas Goat'. No one hands in a $1,000 weapon for a $200 gift card. Yet another pathetic attempt at a media manipulation by Mini-Mayor,
