#1 article from the Daily Mail (UK)

A detective on the case told KTLA News that since investigators released footage of the attack, multiple people have come forward to report they’ve been attacked by the same man.

He is being described as a black man aged 30 to 35, between six and six-foot-five- inches tall and weighing anywhere between 300 and 350 pounds

#2 Is nobody but criminals armed in cities like LA and NY? There have to be gun permits issued if you bother applying for them? When people are aware this shit is going down across blue states, why aren't they lining up to buy .45 autos?

#3 I believe law aboding citizens are prevented from owning a firearm for self defence in NY - and I believe in LA as well.
For criminals - well the laws are simply not applied by the D.A.

#4 ^ But how are they prevented, CrazyFool? Say, you apply for a gun permit. It is rejected. You have no one to appeal to, and no recourse? For instance, we in India have a Right to Information Act, under which a citizen can demand the issuing authority explain why an application was rejected. I'm sure there's a better system there. Could it be people are just not pressing hard enough?

There are multiple barriers to gun ownership in many municipalities in CA

pay a fee up front, which gives you a 5 year certificate to own subject to conditions

written application

pass written test administered by a CA certified instructor

then there are many restrictions on what may be sold, both guns and ammo

#9 Dron, I believe the law in California is that the sheriff "may" issue a concealed carry permit. The result is the big city sheriffs don't, unless you're connected to someone they want to kiss up to.

#11 the sheriff "may" issue a concealed carry permit

Too long winded and subject to a lot of bureaucracy, I see. Better to buy illegal then.

#12 Unfortunately in many places buying an illegal or even posessing a legal weapon may be prohibited.
Cite that lady who flew into Jersey with a firearm. Followed all the rules with the TSA, checked the requirements, and everything. No problem until she attempted to leave and mentioned, as required, to the ticket agent that her luggage contained a firearm. After that they were on her like sh*t on a blanket - she faced *years* of prison. You hear plenty of stories like that.
I'm in Washington state. We still have 'shall issue' in regard for permits meaning that a sheriff shall issue unless they have a valid reason not to. Lets not get into the crazy transfer requirements...

#13 You can get an illegal firearm but if you are caught with it the penalties on otherwise law-abiding people are extreme, (likewise if you use it.) People who are criminals anyway really don't risk much.

#14 Basically the Dems have effectively suspended the 2A, denying an important constitutional right to American citizens, who continue to believe in their moral superiority.

#15 And both parties disregard(ed) the Constitution when engaging in ~~undeclared wars~~ police actions.

#17 lord garth, I'm not above going in getting my own ILLEGAL gun if need be to protect myself and family. Fairplay in my eyes.

#18 Dron55046,
In my neck of the woods, SW Ohio, you can purchase a handgun or rifle same day, about an hour of processing. As for automatic weapons and suppressors it takes about six months for delivery but local sheriff approval is relatively quick.
Each state is different.

#19 Of course, Spoter. Ohio is a red state. Suppressors... my!☺

Well, I suppose the ones that vote blue deserve a curbing of rights until no rights are left.

#20 As for automatic weapons

Semi-automatic, surely, Spoter B.

#21 LOADED QUESTION

Since firearm ownership is a US CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.

How a can ANY FEE be charged for a Citizen to use his/her/IT's right?

Doesn't charging a fee place the GOVERNMENT as the approving authority of a citizen exercising / using their rights?

#22 Consider the situation of "family heirlooms" that one does not buy additional ammo for now because the background check would get flagged here in CA.

#23 Considering "rights". If they're not enforced, then they go away. Dems figured that out. Welcome to CA - don't turn your back to certain individuals, avoid large gatherings and certain enclaves. Head on a swivel at all times. Having been subject of a gas station assault - I say this is just how it rolls out here.

#24 Yes TW.
Automatic.

#25 @ #21 - Is that anything like property taxes on your home?

#26 Could be worse. Could be a 300 pound topless woman!
