California: The gun-control state with the most mass slayings

AP: California Has Most ‘Mass Slayings’ in 2019 Despite Stringent Gun Control.

An Associated Press (AP) column looking back on violence in 2019 notes that California has more gun control than any state yet witnessed the most “mass slayings” of any state.

The AP notes that most most slayings “barely became national news, failing to resonate among the general public because they didn’t spill into public places.” They point to the El Paso, Texas, shooting; the Dayton, Ohio, shooting, and others as examples of mass slayings that did make news and captured attention nationally.

They define such slayings “as when four or more people are killed excluding the perpetrator.” They report a total of 41 such slayings nationally in 2019, some of which were carried out with axes, knives, and other non-firearms, while 33 were firearm-related.

The AP reports that “California, with some of the most strict gun laws in the country, had the most, with eight such mass slayings.” read more

  1. So 211 murdered in ‘mass slayings’ (4 or more) this year for the nation.
    Interestingly, Snopes, in ‘debunking’ a claim that illegal immigrants killed more than 10,000 Americans last year did acknowledge that they killed about 1,600 – and a similar number the prior year. So more than 7 times as many Americans are killed by illegal immigrants each year, yet the mass slayings dominate the news.
    Also in the Snopes report they say that the claim of 194 killed in 2018 in ‘mass shootings’ came out of thin air, yet this AP article reasonably corroborates the number.

    Thanks Snopes for giving us the truth even as you spin it!

  2. Leftists: Well, of course, you must understand that California’s gun control laws did not draw on the correct Marxist political line. It still allows capitalist gun makers to continue manufacturing their weapons of working class oppression and death, and still allows them their blood-soaked profits. Where is the working class perspective in those ineffectual laws? When we communists gain full control, even police and military won’t have any guns whatsoever. Then, the workers will take back their legitimate rights and the police will no longer be needed, nor the imperialist troops of the military. All Power to the People!!!

    We can see the shining Red Star on the hill yonder.

  4. California likely comes in first (or close to first) in several related areas: most homeless, most immigrants, most perverts, most queers (yes, redundant), most atheists, most STD cases, most haters of white people, most liberals, most Antifas, most cockroaches…
