How come the constitution gives a right to shoot weapons but not to ride a bicycle on the street without cars pushing you around? Oh wait, they did not have cars. In that case, I will give the gun nuts only 1700s "arms". Muskets. Go find the flint before supplies run out.
By that logic, since they didn't have the internet or phones when they wrote the 1st, we shouldn't have freedom of speech on the internet or phone. :what:

Guns don't cause violence, the intent is already there. The real culprit for ethnic/cultural violence is multiculturalism.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Bicycles are a lot pushier than cars, in my experience. Almost got run down by one today in a crosswalk, even after I waited for the walk sign to cross.

Let the pointless arguments about guns begin it saves us addressing the phenomena.
I blame religion, not guns.
And if the spree killer turns out to be atheist?

Okay, not likely, but still.

Possibly. Or possibly it was an honor killing.

It's the combination of guns, stupidity and ignorance I find alarming. The Sikh community say they have been worried by this possibility since 9/11 because some Americans assume they are Muslims because of their turbans. For fuck sake.

One towel head is the same as another, right? :bored:

Similar mis-identifying has occurred here (only to the name-calling level, I think) and in the UK...

Ironic given Sikhs & Muslims have been mortal enemies for centuries. Bit like Huxley being attacked for being French...

I'd not be surprised if the Greater London area harboured more Sikh than the whole of Punjab/Kashmir.
