I didn’t see what kind of rifle and what kind of handgun were used, but it hardly matters. If the perp used a Springfield 1903 and a revolver, the legislature will allow itself to be convinced that bolt action rifles and revolvers constitute “assault weapons” because the user doesn’t have to put a new round into the chamber by hand after each shot. By the time I’m 60, they’ll be debating whether a black powder musket counts as an assault weapon, since the use of a powder horn and bag for the ammunition means that the firearm owner doesn’t have to go back to the gun shop after each shot.
I'd give serious consideration to moving to Arizona or Texas if my wife's family weren't so entrenched in the Bay Area. I can't take my kids away from their grandparents over magazine capacity.
