Police are attending a shooting in California, with reports of 20 victims, say officials.

From the BBC:

Fire officials in San Bernardino said it was responding to a "20 victim shooting incident" and it was working to clear the scene.

ABC News reports that there are 12 people dead but police have not confirmed that number.

It is still a "very active scene" and police are trying to secure the building, said a police spokeswoman.

There may be up to three gunmen, she said, and they were heavily armed and possibly wearing body armour.

    In your example about recreational drug use, I think that we would be much better off if we forced a change in the federal system. Having a patchwork of laws that vary from state to state makes traveling between them difficult and increases the need for enforcement, and we already have plenty of problems with enforcers.

    Well, that is part of my point. The disparate state laws force a debate on the federal laws. But in a situation where there is genuine disagreement, I'd rather have the patchwork of laws. We can at least see what works.
