Oakland gas station worker shoots at would-be burglars | KTVU

So what have we learned? -Oakland police won’t help you. -Crooks know the cops aren’t coming. -We are on our own and have to defend ourselves I applaud the workers bravery and quick thinking and she’s probably avoided being beaten /shot/killed IMHO

[@edduran2484]

Most of California's modern-era major gun laws were signed by Republican governors. Statewide gun control laws were proposed by GOP legislators and promoted by Ronald Reagan when he was governor from 1967 to 1975; it had something to do with minimizing the people's ability to defend themselves against government tyranny...when those people are black. Since Reagan, California has had Republican governors (and even some sessions of GOP-controlled state legislature) for 32 of the last 56 years.
