“It seems that to be satisfied, I’d have to arrange my life and the
world to conform totally to my liking—and then have them stay that way,”
Buddhist author and former U.C. Davis law professor Toni Bernhad wrote
in a Psychology Today article, channeling Rolling Stone Mick Jagger’s “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” theme.
That seems an appropriate theme for many in the gun ban camp
following a stabbing, shooting and car-ramming spree in the Santa
Barbara university community of Isla Vista. The seven dead included the
evil, self-terminating perpetrator, characterized by those with an
agenda as the “gunman.”
That it took armed law enforcement to end the attacks, causing the
killer to flee, crash his BMW into a tree and put his own gun to his
head, recalls another story about why that was the case. Santa Barbara
County Sheriff Bill Brown, who gained office with the active support of
gun owners after getting an “A” rating and NRA endorsement, then
proceeded to reduce the number of concealed carry permits, rescinding
those coming up for renewal. Comparing the eligible adult population
with the number of permits Brown has allowed to remain active, public
areas he oversees are essentially “gun-free zones” as far as law-abiding
citizens are concerned.
