By Saeed Villanueva |Staff Writer| People are split on the issue of gun control in California after the recent shooting at North Park elementary. The recent school shooting in which a teacher and an 8-year-old child lost their lives is just another incident in which gun violence has affected the community. The perpetrator, Cedric Charles Anderson, used a high caliber revolver and had a history of domestic abuse, weapons arrest, and drug possession, according to police reports. According to state law, any person who has had a prior misdemeanor charge receives a 10-year ban from purchasing a gun and a lifetime ban for convicted felons. California is one of the more strict states … [Read more...] about California Gun Laws

Concealed gun ban on college campuses

October 18, 2015 by Archived posts 26 Comments

By Aldon Stiles |Staff Writer| Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill that bans concealed firearms on college campuses. Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), introduced by Sen. Lois Wolk (D-Davis), extends The Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995 to college and university campuses. The Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995 originally banned carrying licensed concealed weapons within 1,000 feet of schools ranging from kindergarten to high school. Professor Brian Levin, professor of criminal law at CSUSB, does not believe that this law will have much impact on gun violence on school grounds. Levin stated in an email, “The law while limiting those with lawful permits, would likely do little to deter the suicidal … [Read more...] about Concealed gun ban on college campuses

Allowing guns on campus could make it safer for students

May 17, 2013 by Archived posts 4 Comments

By Lynn Post |Staff Writer| Many colleges across the United States, including campuses in Utah and Texas have allowed students to carry concealed weapons on campus so long as they have a permit. But why not CSUSB? Students should be allowed to carry their guns on campus if they own what is called a concealed carry permit (CCP). Students with a CCP are not allowed to carry their gun at CSUSB, but with the amount of theft and recent crimes on campus carrying a weapon for safety is not a bad idea. In fact it may be a matter of life or death when faced with a dangerous scenario. If it is late at night a student is walking to their car alone and a suspicious person approaches them … [Read more...] about Allowing guns on campus could make it safer for students

Background checks, mental health need to be at the center of gun control debate

January 22, 2013 by Archived posts 55 Comments

By Brenda Acuna |Staff Writer| Now more than ever, the issue of gun control has become a controversial topic of national conversation. In the aftermath of the tragedy that struck Newtown, Connecticut claiming the lives of 20 children and six elementary school employees and the Aurora Colorado massacre, it’s not hard to see that the issue of gun control can no longer be ignored. There needs to be a common ground between public safety and gun control. Personally, the belief that increasing gun control is the solution to gun violence is just as short-sighted as believing that there is one universal cure for cancer; death has always been natural to human beings. Keeping Americans … [Read more...] about Background checks, mental health need to be at the center of gun control debate
