Vietnam is a third world country, but I will never have to worry about some psycho shooting up a bunch of people with an assault rifle here.
There is absolutely zero reason for any civilian to own an AR-15.

Did you bother to read about that? No. You didn't. It's ok. I dint expect you to. Your point, assuming you actually have one, is that there is some sport of political correctness behind 2 administrations not using the term you feel is so important to use. Political correctness has literally nothing to do with why Bush nor Obama did not use the term Islamic terrorist. It's not terribly difficult to find out what is the reason. Spend a few minutes. Read a few books maybe. It actually makes perfect sense.
I did stellar work trolling the first 10 messages or so until the usual dicks chimed in and started a pissing match to ruin this thread. I missed Adp's insight though. Guess he was busy bouncing quarters all day.
Pool with kids, golf, Stanley Cup champs. Good day. Nova, Pens....year of ADP
Prez Obysmal on TV now dancing around and still refusing to call it "radical Islamic terrorism." His actual words were "we still don't know the motivation of the gunman." HELLO? He must be back to smoking weed like his college days because he can't possibly be that disconnected from reality!
You must be kind of in a tough spot here. With your extreme right wing views and your private orientation.

No reason for me to duck anything. It's just more made up stupid comments from a proven moron.He will duck this comment. No one does it better.
One of the victims was West Catholic grad. She played hoops. Burrs did you know her? How terribly sad

How awful if this is how a closeted gay is outed? Double whammy for the parents that get that phone call.
so wait, you've got a top 30 list that covers about 50 years, and Nos. 1 and 7 happened in the last 7 months and are clearly connected to Islamic terrorist efforts, but nothing to see here, move it along? Ok, got it.
Just by name. I never met her. Sounds like she was a good kid. 1,000-point scorer and was going to Mercyhurst next year. Terribly sad.
I taught S.S. this year. About half time we covered the curriculum. The other half was current events. We looked at and discussed a wide range of stories. The only four that dealt with mass killings were: Paris, San Bernadino, Brussells, and Orlando. All have what in common?
Well there have been over 900 mass shootings since Sandy Hook - this is just a most deadly top 30... So, ok got it ..
Question : you think Isis is some kind of greater threat to the US than these other wackos ?
Maybe not just Isis but jihadists generally, yes, based on recent returns at home and abroad over the last year I'd say the threat of Islamist-inspired mass shooters to individual U.S. citizens is greater than that of random wackos like the Sandy Hook, Texas tower shooter or Columbine a-holes. They seem far more motivated and "successful" than the others on your list overall, especially given this is a more recent pheonomenon being pushed by the jihadists.
Difference between wackos and ISIS.... ISIS is a group, wackos are singular incidents and typically do not have correlation to a larger group or trend. We've tried to bucket the wacko's under mental health or gun control issues but we know what ISIS is and what they are trying to do.
People lose their shit over mass shootings because of the shock value of a big hit at once. "Oh my God!!! 50 people at once". Meanwhile that's a 2 weekend total in Chicago. No one cares about that though.
So what can you do? Serious question. Once you get past what we're calling them, and the entire thing is ridiculous, what can you do? You cannot stop this stuff. Maybe it's working where I do but I'm somewhat numb to it. I struggle to find an actual solution to these types of events.
Statistically you are very far off. It's not even close. And while this guy claimed ISIS - he's basically a lone wolf too. Just a different kind. Isis appears to have had zero knowledge of this prior to the incident. Perhaps though if the president used the term Islamic radical terrorist, we could cut down on this happening.
Barack has not used the term "Islam terrorist" because it conjures up a stereotype of all Islamic people as terrorists. We all know that is not true ; nor are any stereotypes. I magine that Barack has been the victim of stereotypical
thinking then anyone on our boards. The other presidential (Republican) lives
on stereotypes because he is not a clear thinker.
It's radical Islamic terrorism.
But "Barack" is afraid to acknowledge that such a thing exists.
We stop it all the time, but it's very hard to be perfect. They were onto this guy - they just didn't have enough yet. They were on to the Boston guys too - and they are on to thousands like them every day that we never hear about but are stopped. They've actually been nearly perfect, but i am surprised more incidents have not occurred. What this guy did was easy to pull off.
Yea, I don't think there is a solution. I'm kind of with you.
Let me ask you this, tho. Is there something wrong that an average Joe can go into a gun shop and purchase an assault rifle, but at same time be denied buying body armor? Also, if dude comes in looking to buy an assault rifle and body armor shouldn't that be a red flag? Is that something that happens frequently? Should store be required to report such an attempt? Just asking...

I never thought that this lunatic had interactions with any terror group. Yea, he wasn't sent here. However, a more troubling problem is that these groups can reach disgruntled Americans via the I-net and encourage, manipulate, direct wackos to do such things via radical Islamic propaganda.
Honest question who is to blame on this? Would you not be a gun lobbyist? Like turn down the contract?
