Upon hearing that a man dressed in a military-style outfit was shooting people with an assault rifle in California on Sunday, I imagine that there were at least some Californians saying to themselves, âThatâs impossible. Itâs illegal in California to take an assault rifle into a public festival.â Indeed, according to Wikipedia, âThe gun laws of California are some of the most restrictive in the United States.â
So, what are gun-control advocates in California going to do now? Make their gun laws even more restrictive?
For 20 years, I have been writing that people who are going to kill other people with guns donât give a hoot about gun laws. After all, at the risk of belaboring the obvious, if a person doesnât care about obeying a law against murder, heâs not going to care about violating a law against taking an assault rifle into a food festival.

Milton Friedman is the Godfather of American conservative libertarianism. He was, at a time when it was deeply unfashionable in official circles, a fierce critic of Keynesian economics. He was a leader of the second generation of libertarian economists to come out of the University of Chicago. Among the people recruited or mentored by him at the university include Thomas Sowell, Gary Becker, Robert Fogel and Robert Lucas, Jr. Friedman often used the jargon and methodology of Keynesians while rejecting their basic premises, coming to very different conclusions than his Keynesian counterparts.
