Rest in peace, to the victims. Why did he target the christians, if he was an IRA fan? Or did he target speicfically the protestants?

Anyway, have the republican candidates claimed that we would have avoided the tragedy, if every teacher and pupil carried a friendly-to-amateurs rifle or is it too early?

Maybe he was a fan of something else, sure looks like it.

What can you say at this point?

Not that I know of, but the customary twitter-feminist attempts to link shootings to "toxic masculinity" has started early this time.

Yes that actually happens.

Can't say nothing of course, but he did ask what religion they had to his victims, and he is repordely from Syria. Not saying anything more because I can't know how much is true. Looks like a valid gamble though.

Toxic masculinity is a real thing.

Yes, it's called chauvinism.

RIP to all victims.

As someone without strong opinions on the gun control debate, is there some cultural reason this happens so much in the USA and not other countries with high gun ownership levels?

Being bigger perhaps? This happens everywhere, look at Norway or Germany, it happened there as well, there are idiots everywhere and naturally more in a country with a bigger population,

Diesel cars are probably killing more people annually due to the discrepancy between what the stated pollution is and the actual pollution. In the UK we basically trust the companies to provide the emission test results and ask few if any questions so failed to catch the cheat that has probably been used for ages and probably by several manufacturers.

Many Arab countries use cheap labour from abroad and ignore many health and safety rules we have in the West to get fast, cheap buildings up. A high death rate amongst the workers.

America likes guns and ensures that everyone can get hold of them with ease - since assuming one is mentally deranged enough to get to a gun fair even the basic gun checks can be avoided. More nutters gun down people.

The point is that choices by societies have costs. America made theirs so yeah. Another shooting. How about that?
