Another day, another mass shooting

At least five people are dead following a shooting at multiple locations in Tehama County including a local elementary school, where at least two children were wounded.

Authorities described a chaotic scene in which a gunman appear to pick target randomly in the rural Northern California county. They said the incident appears to have begun as "domestic violence incident" but did not provide further details.

I'm numb.

Another day in America

Trying to imagine why or how a man on bail for armed assault had access to an assault rifle.  In California, a state with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country.

A report I heard was that they were "homemade".

well, now you can 3-D print almost anything, and you can get your printer and supplies in the supermarket....  Sigh.

Yeah, I read later that they were homemade.  Not sure what that means for gun control. Honestly, I have been surprised that terrorists in the US and EU haven't built themselves any artillery.  Its not all that hard to construct a serviceable 19th century cannon that you could mount in a truck bed or something.
