Crossfire is not indicative of a \u201cmass shooting\u201d but it is a characteristic of a shootout.<\/p>\n<p>Three suspects have been arrested in connection with the shooting thus far.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The AP <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/business-california-sacramento-crime-gun-politics-1d199428230e554f8f93ce01d0451945\">reported<\/a>\u00a0the first suspect arrested in connection with the Sacramento shooting was 26-year-old Dandrae Martin. He faces \u201ccharges of assault with a deadly weapon and being a convict carrying a loaded gun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smiley Martin, the brother of Dandrae Martin, was also arrested.

He, too, faces charges \u201cof being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>California already has more gun laws than any state in the Union, yet the focus has been on more gun control up to now. Labeling the Sacramento incident a shootout instead of a \u201cmass shooting\u201d places focus on things like policing, the atmosphere created by the defund the police movement, and judicial or parole board leniency toward violent criminals.<\/p>\n<p><em>AWR Hawkins is an award-winning Second Amendmen<\/em><em>t columnist for Breitbart News<\/em><em>\u00a0and the writer\/curator of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/downrange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Down Range with AWR Hawkins<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em><em>a weekly newsletter focused o<\/em><em>n al<\/em><em>l things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News.
