2 dead according to CNN, they'll be lucky if more don't die unfortunately.

To be expected with everyone and their mother having a gun in their pocket.

To be expected when the economy sucks, some folks have just given up and want to go out with a literal bang.

Simply a fact of socio-economics, especially with guns involved.

If this turns out to be terrorism linked with the Taliban it will only escalate things again.

Of course go straight ahead and INSTANTLY blame them.

As if the white terrorist is suddenly no longer in existence?

Where did I blame them? I said if this turns out to be ffs. Read what I actually wrote before posting, thanks.

These individual guys are almost always lone COD addicts, not terrorists in 911 mould.

everyone and their mothers have knives too, if you want to kill someone you can.

Guns aren't the problem, its the sick people using them
