Gun Owners of California – December 2, 2025
| In devastating news that has shocked absolutely no one – on a celebratory holiday weekend in gun-controlled California – a shooting tragically took the lives of 4 people, including 3 children. This is shattering to the Stockton community; the shooter – or shooters – remain at large, and facts are slow in coming but according to law enforcement, this event is believed to be a “targeted” incident. Generally speaking, this is a politically correct way of saying “gang related.” |
| This is an important distinction, as few are willing to admit this because it diminishes their argument that it’s the gun rather than the evil intent of the shooter. Until we focus on the criminal misuse of firearms California will continue to face such catastrophes. Our prayers remain with those who have been impacted by this heinous act. And, if anyone doubts why our 1st and 2nd Amendments are guaranteed in America, check out what happened to a fellow from England who posted a photo of himself posing with a shotgun while visiting Florida. Upon his return home, he was jailed for “intent to cause fear of violence” and faced 13 weeks of “hell.” Read more about this absurd situation below. Also, we have a story below about the mixed messages we’re getting from AG Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice – they launched a new 2A Rights unit which is great, but continue to defend the antagonistic National Firearms Act (NFA). |
