The thing is that this is in California, where there are 90 day waiting periods, mandatory background checks, a bullet button for ejectable magazines and an assault weapons ban, and it still happens.

Of course, that's a pretty unfair portrayal of Republicans as a whole, but it still makes me smile.
If someone told me the GOP was actually composed of vampires, I wouldn't be surprised at this point.
This is like, what, the third shooting this week?
I've seen broken records that didn't repeat this much.

Apart from Trump-style ramblings about Latinos/Hispanics, do you have any evidence to support your cartel theory?
You can threaten them with judicial action all you want, but corruption and just the shear numbers, money, and power of the cartel, can make cartels much more difficult to fight with the legal processes. Plus in the areas the operate they can easily bribe local judges and officials to keep them quiet.
I don't have any more evidence than anyone else. Only inclinations, and knowing that, in California, the cartels have been getting bolder and more active. Plus they'd have the manpower and resources to organise and obtain the proper resources and equipment to pull this off.
Plus its not really a political target, and its a soft target that poses little risk of fighting back or security. An easy target to send a message...We won't know until law enforcement confirms anything relevant, but that's my inclination. Cartels or Political Radicals.

Not to mention how the majority of Americans would instantly support giving up loads of freedom, in order for the government to protect them threats (like what happened after 11/9).

LA is only sixty miles away, with no border controls or anything. Hell, just go to the front gates at Disneyland. This is probably not terrorism. Or if it is, then these guys aren't bright.
