Man, I should probably unfriend all my Muslim friends before I go on a serial killer rampage lol. The flimsy conclusions people make these days are just hell disturbing.(October 2, 2015 at 11:56 am)drfuzzy Wrote: The news is now saying that the shooter was a Muslim convert.

Well, according to that link, he's a Muslim because one of his two "connections" on his MySpace page is a Muslim. That's what makes the internet great. Anybody can make the littlest conjecture based on minimal evidence and report it as news. It can spread like wildfire from there.
This is one of those things where it's best to wait until the dust settles before we start trying to figure out what this guy's motivations were.

However the root of the problem might be a bit deeper than that.Your comment is exactly why I think this is an fear-mongering attempt by the media to attack pro-gun advocates. Haven't you heard of Ground-zero government gun control? There's a huge correlation between high-end gun control laws and government authority abuse. That murderer broke several gun control laws already. Adding a few more won't help. If the citizens loose the power to own guns, the government takes over the country in a totalitarian structure.
