I don't know whether this is a case of real life imitating satire, but earlier I was trying to imagine how many gun control laws accused multiple murderer Jose Carranza might have violated. Here are just a few possible violations, just off the top of my head:

Illegal aliens are not allowed to buy guns

People with criminal records or under felony indictment are not allowed to buy guns

Buying a handgun in New Jersey requires lengthy background checks, interviews, and a long waiting period

Handguns may not be carried in New Jersey without permits, which are extremely difficult to obtain

Buying a gun from other than a licensed gun dealer is illegal in New Jersey

Apparently, it is believed that more gun laws will deter future Jose Carranzas. Via Say Uncle, I see that new Jersey Governor Corzine wants to toughen the gun laws.

Will psychopathic illegal aliens who rape five year olds and murder college students really be deterred by things like increasing the waiting period imposed on law-abiding citizens who want to defend themselves?

Just the opposite, I'd say. The harder it becomes for the law-abiding to have guns, the safer things will be.

For the future Carranzas, of course!
