I think it's important to identify the early trademarks of any serial killer, be them using guns, knives, poison, etc...
I hate to say it, but I do believe I suffer from depression. Now, I can honestly state, that from my own state of mind, I would never even contemplate physically harming anyone else other than myself, for any reason other than perhaps a purely legitimate "life and death" self defense encounter, which most likely will never occur in my lifetime.
So, what makes others act out with the intention of wanting to harm as many others as they can?
I don't know. Brenda Spencer, a 16 year old girl, decided to shoot at kids and staff at the school across from her house already back in the 1970's. She used a .22.
Quote
The Cleveland Elementary School shooting took place on January 29, 1979, in San Diego, California. Shots were fired at a public elementary school. The principal and a custodian were killed. Eight children and a police officer were injured. A 16-year-old girl, Brenda Spencer, who lived in a house across the street from the school, was convicted of the shootings.
Why would someone do this?
I don't know...
Anger? Rage?
Usually anger and rage is turned inwards... Not sure why it occasionally manifests this way...
Nonetheless, the Boomtown Rats "I don't like Mondays," which we all know, was actually written solely for this shooting...

It's a 1400 year old ideology. The founder was a violent, illiterate pedophile. The whole ideology is built on conquest through murder.
I understand that...
White people mass shoot also... In fact, we have a lock on doing it the best...
I think this guy still holds the current world record:

But, they do not have an international terror group/government taking credit for those people who commit mass murder. Islam commands infidels and gays die. Fundies take those commands seriously.

Do they?
You want my honest opinion?
Generally, people don't hate each other enough to kill them, and then go out in a blaze of "glory"...
Something is there... Already planted in the brain from young on, ready to go off.
Even in Nazi Germany, most commanders and soldiers just did what they were told to do, and not what they'd necessarily do on their own time...
Quote from: "smell the glove"
In my general opinion...
a person doesn't hate society enough to just go out on a killing spree,
but rather something, maybe a killer instinct, is born within...it just needs to be triggered.
Even during the Third Reich, some soldiers only obeyed for fear of retribution, while others wanted to climb the ranks and suck a lot of cock to get to the top.
Yeah...no...fuck orf! You're a toss_pot! acc_devil

Quote
In 1996 Australia was rocked by a mass shooting that saw 35 people killed and 23 injured.
The Port Arthur massacre followed a decade of gun violence with several high profile mass shootings carried out under liberal gun laws.
But what the nation did next would change its history forever.
Prime Minister John Howard brought in stringent gun laws, a nationwide buyback scheme allowed people to exchange firearms for money and the number of firearms in the country reduced by a third (600,000).
Over the next decade firearm homicide rates dropped, the risk of dying by gunshot more than halved.
Firearm suicides also fell from around 3 in every 100,000 to 0.75 in every 100,000.
Also there were no mass shootings.

No doubt stricter gun control would be effective in lowering the homicide rate. But, as a tool in fighting terror attacks like Paris, Orlando and the latest one in Israel? No.
As for criminal gangs, tighter gun control may even be good for their business.

True. "Legal" has no meaning to anyone dedicated / committed to kill
As to "dedicated / committed " / "AFFAIRS IN ORDER" :
The guy, not wealthy, even "quit claimed" a house to his sister for 10$ 2 months before attack ... along with other "unusual" things
I don't know what it takes for the public to see that , gun, bomb, fire, whatever ... this critter was committed to kill for his god long before and would kill as many as he could with whatever he could .. period
If gun was his method of choice, he would have found one at any cost ... .ffs, he even tried to buy heavy body armor during this period.
This committed bastard would have purchased a gun on the black market even if death was the penalty for holding a gun ffs
After giving his home to family for just one example of determination. clearly this critter would find a way to kill
What part of "he was long dedicated to kill and would find a way or ways NO MATTER WHAT" can't people get
THEY KNEW! Orlando Shooter sold house to sister for $10 in April; new wife scrubbed social media before attack (//https) Also available on several other sources
As well as he know the club as a setup, frankly I'm surprised he didn't follow the concept of the Seattle nightclub islamic and use carefully placed fire(s) as a really easy way to kill in packed nightclubs

Just like all the mass shooters in Australia since they enacted gun control. How many have there been since?
So clearly you acknowledge this was a dedicated / committed islamic killing for his god ..... but imply that if guns were banned he would have merely stayed home
and sulked ... maybe even cried
and not torched the place or blew it up
or found guns ... as his compatriots did in Brussels, Paris etc
You might wish to explain those in light of the fact that they do not have US gun laws ....yet amazingly kranny-followers killed almost 100 for their devil-god in the Bacalan alone by gun .. not to mention Charlie Hebdo and Brussels

Again cc, I think the idea is to make it as difficult as possible to obtain weapons to commit atrocities. By giving people LEGAL means makes it inherently easier to commit crimes of this nature. What's wrong with limiting that access?

Sometimes I feel like I'm staring into an intellectual vacuum....
What makes you think that Islam wouldn't just go underground and Islamics would continue committing atrocities?
I don't know banning guns would have prevented this atrocity, but it may have because, now pay attention, a vast majority of guns used in 16 recent mass shootings, including two guns believed to be used in the Orlando attack, were bought legally and with a federal background check.
They weren't bought underground. They weren't obtained illegally.
Also, statistically speaking, you have a higher chance of being a victim of a mass shooting perpetrated by a non-Muslim than a Muslim.

I doubt it will have much affect on terror attacks.
The Czech Republic has less restrictive gun laws than the US, but when there are gun crimes it usually committed by unlicensed owners. More importantly, the Czech Republic has not opened the flood gates to Muslims like France and Belgium have and the result has been no mass attacks like those two countries have had. :t2502: Their president said it is impossible to integrate Muslims into Europe and the attacks in Western Europe prove he's right.
The only way to stop Islamic terror is to ban Muslims not guns.
Again Fash, this latest shooter got his gun legally. If you consider all mass shootings acts of terrorism (rather than just the ones carried out by Muslims), the vast majority of them use weapons gained legally. If guns weren't available legally, mass shootings, by sheer statistical reasoning, would decrease. They did in Australia.
So I'm a bit confused how one can claim they wouldn't decrease given the evidence to the contrary.

So, if he bought his gun illegally just like the different Paris shootings, you would see the problem is Muslims not guns correct?
Australia has not opened the spiggot to uncontrolled Muslim migration like Europe has. That is the thing you and Rohammad conveniently leave out. Evidence shows no Muslims is the only proven way of stopping Islamic terror.

More importantly, the Czech Republic has not opened the flood gates to Muslims like France and Belgium have and the result has been no mass attacks like those two countries have had. :t2502: Their president said it is impossible to integrate Muslims into Europe and the attacks in Western Europe prove he's right.
The only way to stop Islamic terror is to ban Muslims not guns.
You nailed it again brother. Strict gun laws in the West, but Muslim terror attacks. Liberal gun ownership laws in the Czech Republic, but few Muslims. Gee, which works better banning Muslims or guns? ac_toofunny
Hey Herman, 3.2% of our population here in Canada are Muslims. (The US only has 1% of its population subscribing to Islam.)
Why don't we have tons of deaths by Muslims?
The Czech Republic has like 0.3% of its population are Muslim yet has more gun deaths than Canada. Shouldn't it be the other way around if it's all about the big bad Muzzies?

We have a more open policy on Muslims and stricter gun laws and few mass shootings and terrorist attacks.
Explain that one Herman's Einstein.
We do not have strict gun laws, what are you talking about. I have a criminal record and I had lots of legal firepower at one time.
Really? We have much stricter gun laws than the US, including checks and balances. There are many restrictions on firearms in Canada.
Renee was right, if there had been a check that he was being watched by the FBI and on a no fly list, he would not have been able to purchase his weapons..
But, I am not convinced that would have stopped the tragedy though if the authorities had done that..
He was pretty determined to kill people, so I doubt he would have let legalities get in his way.

Other than the lame one day PAL safety course, it is very easy to buy legal guns in this country. In fact, you can get a weapon in about the same time as when I lived in Pennsylvania.

Buying a gun is one part. There's the type of gun. How many bullets it can hold. How it's transported and stored. Etc. All of these things make up gun control.

I know I don't know..
None of us know what lengths the shooter might have went through to carry out his attack..
I am just saying he seemed determined, so even if the checks caught he was on the no fly list, my personal feeling is he would not let that stop him..
But, he is dead now and we will never get a chance to question him and find out for sure.
He could have just got one at a gun show or private sale.

He could have bought one almost anywhere legal or not..
We don't know his reasons and never will.

US states have laws like that too. But, in all the years I owned some wicked firepower, nobody ever checked that I was storing my firearms in a prescribed way. It's unenforceable.

Explain what you've owned as "wicked fire power" and where you got it please. Did you have to register it? Did it hold clips capable of mowing down and injuring 100 people at a time?

About Czech gun deaths from wikipedia.
It is generally not common for licensed gun owners to commit violent crimes with their guns, and most of the gun crimes are committed with illegal weapons that are beyond the control of the law.[115] The number of murders committed with legally owned guns reached its peak in 2000, when 20 people were murdered. There were 16 murders committed with legally owned guns in 2003, 17 in 2007 and 2 in 2010. The majority of them are committed during family quarrels, with only a minimum being premeditated.[56]
As for the US, go to Dearborn if you want to see how well Muslims have integrated.
Why do I need to go to Dearborn? I see them here all the time. My husband ran a department where several worked. We used to spend a lot of time with Muslim folks when we lived in Vancouver. I don't need someone to hand me my opinion of them thanks.
Again, we have a lot more Muslims here than in other places yet they aren't terrorizing and killing us? Why?

The Orlando shooter could have purchaed guns legally here too and carried the same type of attack on a gay club in one of our cities. Something like this could happen in the future. The chattering classes would inevitably demand chang, but from law abiding gun owners and not Islamic terrorists.

I don't believe you can legally purchase weapons with large clips here in Canada. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Apparently they are having trouble tying this asshole to an Islamist terrorist group. Weird.

You can have twenty round round mags pinned at five.

Why is that weird? He was inspired by ISIS just like the Parliament Hill shooter was.
So he wasn't linked to a terrorist organization.

What about 30 round mags? Can those be pinned at five also?

Unless you are Grandfathered in some sort of way, I can tell you exactly what you can currently purchase in Canada...
A semi-automatic long gun is limited to a five round magazine.
A semi-automatic pistol is limited to a 10 round magazine.
The only exception to this rule is rim-fire long guns. They do not have a limit. Meaning that guns like a .22 rifle are not limited by any magazine capacity...
Thank you.
Quote from: "RW"
Thank you.
No problem!
High cap mags were essentially outlawed here after the École Polytechnique massacre...
That's what I read and it makes sense.
Quote from: "RW"
That's what I read and it makes sense.
It doesn't stop anyone from buying 10 five-round mags, and keeping them handy...
However, it lulled the public into a feeling that things would be addressed.
I don't think it's a bad thing to make things harder for people to shoot up a place.
Quote from: "RW"
I don't think it's a bad thing to make things harder for people to shoot up a place.
And here is where I disagree...
If people want to shoot, they shoot.
If they are limited to 10 rounds per mag, or five, it really makes no difference.
You'd be really shocked to know that ownership of .50 caliber Browning Machine Gun is perfectly legal here.
THIS is a round that can cause some ruffled feathers!~
You say that but stricter gun laws have made a difference.
@iron horse jockey
Canada and the United States are not Hungary. We will never build fences to keep Muslims out. We are nations of immigrants.
I do not believe stricter gun control in both countries will stop jihadists who have no fear of dying. But, unlike banning Muslims it's at least doable. it's seen as acting. Like Fash, I see gun bans as being a response more to domestic violence or irresponsible owners who let their guns fall into the hands of children. Some people should not own guns.....or cars. Besides, guns are just one way terrorists use to mow people down.
I think what Canada is doing now to fight radicalization works. Like that guy working for the RCMP that infiltrated terror cells in Canada and prevented the Via Rail bombing. Keep it up. We are doing a better job than the US and Europe.
PS
I am really surprised by some of your posts lately. I had you pegged as a low key guy who did not want to rock the boat.

I was told there is no limit for rimfire mags?

There isn't.
Rimfire long guns are exempt from these limitations. You could throw on a 100 round drum-mag, if you want, provided you could ever find one that would work properly!
