But we have seen left-wing politicians and media push for "more gun control in America" using tragedies like this one to disarm Americans.
And on the other side of the coin we have the NRA and other assorted gun nuts using these tragedies to push an everyone should be armed and guns should be less regulated agenda.
Call me crazy but when mass shootings happen every few weeks maybe it does have something to do with the fact guns are everywhere, just a thought

Close your eyes and imagine what a completely disarmed America would look like accounting for the ever-steady morphing of Law enforcement into the full-on militarization monster that has surely been planned.
Now, couple all that with the propaganda convincing the Kardashian crowd to give up more freedoms to ensure more "security".

If no-one had guns , the police would NOT need to be armed and/or scared for their lives at every minute.
The 'Kardashian' crowd , in general terms are the people who are sick of their innocent relatives being the targets of
angry gun owners every time they step out of their front door !
Every incident like this , and every threat to the 'right to own a death dealing WMD' aka the second amendment ,
boosts gun sales every time .

I have seen a lot of people ask why would these Islamic extremists attack a place that caters to the needs of disabled children?
Apart from wanting to instill fear in people, imo this could very well be an attempt from Radical extremists to also push for gun control in America. it would serve them. Think about it. An America disarmed, that would only have LEOs and military armed would be more easily infiltrated, and attacked en mass by Islamist radicals.

Yeah? where are you from? Japan? China?
I rather stay in America, than being knifed by the crazies in China who go on mass massacres with knives... Or the ones in Japan who use chemical weapons on metro stations and kill hundreds...

99.99 % of immigrant Muslims in America ,
are there because they want to distance
themselves from the extremist element
of their homelands.They are peaceful ,
patriotic citizens.
They condemn violence and love God .
The fact that these perps were bad muslims
is irrelevant .
I'm surprised there aren't more shootouts
in restaurants after hearing your story ...

Your statistics show very infrequent incidents . Maybe four /year .
Certainly NOT on a daily/weekly basis . FAIL
Here's some facts on murder rates .
* notice China , with 1.4 Billion people doesn't even get a look in.
Knives have to be used close up , we all know guns
are very impersonal . I'd much rather face a psychotic attacker armed
with only a knife . A three yo can use a gun .
What's that in your eye ?
.... a plank
Do you lack self-control???
Do you have fantasies of murdering people????
Myself and my friends are all friendly normal people who you simply DONT WANT TO F**K WITH
Not once did I feel the urge to murder her. FREAKING AMAZING HUH????
Maybe in China, or whatever country you're from, you are not taught respect for human life, and simple compassion for your fellow human.
So guess what, you're a fool if you think normal people in America buy guns to go kill each other.
WE BUY GUNS TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THE ASSHOLES WHO WANT TO MURDER AND RAPE US.
YEA, YOU KNOW... THE SAME ASSHOLES YOU HAVE IN YOUR COUNTRY WHO WILL USE A KNIFE, A BAT, A CAR, OR A ROCK TO KILL YOU.
Murderers want to kill people, not gun owners.
Myself and my friends are all friendly normal people who you simply DONT WANT TO F**K WITH
