Happened in California, remember. By now, basically every control measure asked for, short of a total ban, has been enacted there, and yet, look what happens.
Chances are the “breaking point” will be something well past the point where action should have considered. That’s how it usually plays out anyway.
I’m just saying that people in the US are better armed than in places like Paris. Regardless of the reasons, ISIS would be more likely to encounter static from people here than they would in a Euro country where there are hardly any guns. Plus, they’d have to get over here first, which probably presents another challenge.
While I agree that something should be done, the gun control debate is way more complicated than just “ban all teh guns”. It’s a very complicated situation with no easy answer.
That aside, this is absolutely tragic. I said this in the Paris attack thread, but why do people gotta kill each other like this? Fuck man.

Hey now, @odin. You forgot that non-Arabic Asians also get lumped in with whites in that category since they tend to be the “model minority”.
I’m not sure where the hell First Nations / Native Americans / non-India Indians / whatever get grouped though. Maybe as “ghosts” since people just tend to forget they exist when they’re not gambling at casinos.
As for your first question, there doubtless was. It’s 'Murica after all. So you’re going to be slightly more specific about what shooting you’d be talking about.
As for your second question, too long. Obviously we’re not praying to Jaysus hard enough or something, though it also doesn’t help that people are oversimplifying things in terms of solutions, tend not to care about other people in general especially if they don’t share the same skin tone, and are idiots. It’s best of all worlds save for autocracy, really.
