What do the attacks in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay in California have in common?: Very strict gun control and virtually no one has a concealed handgun permit

California has a strict assault weapon ban, and handguns were used in both attacks, but Biden seems to think that solution to these attacks is to have a ban across the whole country. The handgun used in Monterey Park may look scary, but it is a semi-automatic handgun that functions the same as any other semi-automatic handgun. In the video above, Biden used the attacks in California to call for a new assault weapon ban.

Half Moon Bay is in San Mateo County had 24 permits with 591,048 adults (one permit per every 24,630 adults), and Monterey Park is in Los Angeles County and had 1,378 permits last year with an adult population of 7.8 million (one permit for every 5,660 adults). By contrast, in the 43 right-to-carry states, there is one permit holder for every nine people. When people are allowed to carry permitted concealed handguns, they stop about half the active shooting attacks in the US.
