Details about the fourth mass shooting under the Biden administration remain sketchy, but certain facts are becoming known.

The shooter, a male, entered a building complex in Orange County around 5:30pm Wednesday evening and was able to murder four people and wound another before law-enforcement officers arrived on the scene and neutralized him.

Among the victims was “a child,” according to reports.

The other mass shootings — a mass shooting being defined as an incident in which at least four victims were shot, not including the shooter; or in which four or more victims are murdered with firearms — during the Biden administration included:

  1. The Atlanta spa shootings that left eight people dead;
  2. The Boulder, Colorado, attack that left 10 people dead; and
  3. The Maryland attack that left four people dead.

During 2020, the fourth year of President Donald Trump’s first term, there wasn’t a single mass shooting.

California is among the most gun-restrictive states, and has implemented:

  1. Universal background checks;
  2. A ban on so-called assault weapons;
  3. A 10-day waiting period on gun purchases;
  4. An Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO), or red flag, law;
  5. A limit on the number of guns a law-abiding citizen can purchase in a given month; and
  6. Limits on the sale of ammunition.

As the anti-gun media ramps up its demands for more gun controls following this event, The New American will keep its readers posted.
