As gun-control advocates use the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting to justify harsh gun control laws, it should be noted that the festival prohibited “weapons of any kind.”

Festival organizers had 100 percent gun control for law-abiding members of the public.

Attendees were banned from carrying “pocketknives and weapons of any kind,” according to the festival’s website.

Breitbart.com reports: Moreover, a perusal of the city of Gilroy’s “Park Rules and Regulations” unambiguously states that “guns, slingshots, or fireworks” are prohibited.

The nation witnessed a similar gun-free zone shooting on May 31, 2019, in Virginia Beach. That gunman opened fire in the employee-portion of a city building, and employees were barred from bringing firearms to work. We saw the same thing in gun-free Parkland (February 14, 2018), gun-free Orlando Pulse (June 2016), the gun-free San Bernardino County Building (December 2, 2015), the gun-free DC Navy Yard (September 16, 2013), gun-free Sandy Hook Elementary (December 14, 2012), and the gun-free Aurora movie theater (July 20, 2012).

Democrat presidential hopeful Kamala Harris reacted to the Gilroy shooting by urgingAmericans not to tolerate a “gun violence epidemic.” And the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence responded to the Gilroy attack with a gun control push. Neither Harris nor CSGV referenced the stringent gun controls in California nor the garlic festival’s prohibition of “weapons of any kind.”
