PICO RIVERA, Calif. — Authorities in the Los Angeles area say three people have been killed and seven others injured in a drive-by shooting outside a pizza restaurant where a motorcycle group was hosting an event.How could this happen? According to the Brady Campaign, California has the highest ranking of all 50 states for gun laws. There should be essentially no gun violence in the state of California, what with their state license required, "universal" background check (I assume this is separate from the NICS check, as other states get a 0 for not having it), one-handgun-a-month law, etc. yielding a score of 79 out of 100 for 2008 (MA got a 54, NJ got a 63, and NY a 51).
Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Keith Ho says 10 people gathered in the parking lot of the restaurant in Pico Rivera were shot at from a moving vehicle Saturday evening.
Why, it's almost like all the gun control in the world is meaningless without effective criminal control! Go figure.
That is all.

I live where there are much more lax gun laws and would you believe it, there were no drive by shootings today...or yesterday, or the day before...do I need to go on.
Same here... :-) When I lived in Orange Co, CA, I carried and the cops knew it, they were the ones that suggested it!
It is the same NICS check, it is just that there is no such thing as a "private" sale in Kalifornistan. Any time a firearm changes legal hands, even from a father to a son, it has to go through an FFL and a check has to be executed. The only exception are ATF-identified C&R items.
