After 8 years of “gun buyback program,” California shocked to see gun violence still rising

Jazz ShawPosted at 3:36 pm on December 8, 2020

Over the weekend, Los Angeles held its annual gun “buyback” program for the eighth consecutive year. Mayor Garcetti always loves to talk up this event, claiming that it’s an important piece of the puzzle in terms of reducing gun violence. This year was no different and he was quick to sing the praises of the program to the local media. Of course, the underlying reality is considerably different than the sunny outlook being touted by the Mayor. And when you look at the specific issues that the LAPD is currently dealing with, along with the lack of details provided by City Hall, the entire idea seems to fall apart a bit. (CBS Los Angeles)

    Saturday marked the eighth year of the gun buy back program held by Mayor Garcetti’s office and run by the LAPD.

    The program was hosted at three locations across Los Angeles from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

1. The City of LA is not the entire State of California. Sloppy article title.

2. California's Idiot Legislature had absolutely nothing to do with LA's failed buy-back program.

3. I doubt very many Californians would be "shocked" by the failure of LA's buy-back program.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Golly if only we here in California had the  same awesome representation as, say Michigan?  I just love all the hate bestowed upon California by those in states that are just as or maybe even more F'd up than California.

Common sense,  has left most people.   The issue is guns confiscation, not which STATE is more communistic.  lol
