At least 20 dead now!! What a 'kin world we live in today..

Watching TV and they're debating on whether this is terrorism or not.

How can there be any doubt? It's absolutely terrorism.

I know what they are trying to find out here, but the race or interests of one person do not determine whether they are terrorists or Not, their actions do.

Utterly dreadful world this place!

Incorrect. Terrorism is the use of, or threat of, violence to cause fear in the pursuit of a political aim so 'interests' are important.

That may be the case here, yet unfortunately sometimes it's can simply be people with no political aim or desire; pure unnecessary violence.

That's not terrorism.

And more guns would not solve this, sounds like a sniper situation

 

[Tin-Tin]

Ive seen a video of the concert going on and then you hear what sounds like loud firecrackers. What absolutely amazed me is the sheer amount of bullets that must have been fired within the matter of seconds.

I know the whole right to bear arms argument, but surely one of these guns are not designed for self defence, so how are they legal?

What more evidence do they bloody need...

I suppose if everyone on the ground being sniped at had guns then it wouldn't have happened eh?

Stupid.

Tbf if the bad guys wanted to get guns doesn't matter if they're illegal or not they're going to get guns

Yes, but making it easy increases... well, how easy it is. And, importantly, the frequency.

For everyone one Derrick Bird or Anders Breivik you get over here, you get fifty in America. There's a reason for that - if a nutball over here fancies a spree killing, they often lack the knowledge of where to get the weapons - those that snap aren't hardened criminals in the first instance. In America, it's basically as simple as buying a Mars bar.

True but there's that many guns in circulation now they'll never sort this mess out
