Two boys were rushed to hospitals on Wednesday after they were shot by a gunman on their rural school campus in Northern California. The authorities say the suspect had a history of crimes and mental illness.

Mr. Litton, however, could not legally buy a gun because he was a felon. Mr. Honea said investigators believed that the handgun that Mr. Litton used was a homemade, untraceable gun made of parts from different weapons, often called a “ghost gun.”

So, what did California’s gun control regime accomplish here?

    My bet is “they just don’t really know what they’re talking about.”

    As usual I might add. The news/journalists aren’t necessarily known for having a deep knowledge about firearms or the local laws surrounding them.
