I doubt it will significantly effect anything. Everyone has ideological blinders on, anything we see is immediately filtered.
People who want to ban muslims will see another reason, people who want to ban guns will see another reason. These people already know where both candidates stand and have made up their minds.
In the end the election will come down to the economy like it does for every other election.

I wonder why his dad didn't participate in the shooting, since he is also muslim. I've been told by top minds that the issue is this simple.

A Pakistani cricket forum that I read noted, after this latest incident, that Muslims born in the west tend to have more extreme views than those who were born in Muslim countries but who have moved to the west. They particularly enjoyed one example where a western born Muslim called for greater dedication to their religion, only to be mocked by resident Pakistanis.

They are now saying he had pledged allegiance to ISIS. Wonder if the US is going to ramp up the anti-ISIS campaign like France did after the Paris attacks.

I thought it was a bit extreme for "just homophobic", ISIS is a good one though, how fast they became more "popular" than Al Queda...
Sad

He also called the police up and told them that he was a terrorist who had pledged himself to jihad for ISIS, so he declared his own motivations.
Horrible, my condoleances. That's all I am going to say right now but you probably know what I think.

That this is clearly the action of a deranged young adult who, despite never really heavily participating in religious activity (according to his family), used religious extremism as an excuse to commit mass murder? Yes, Fragony. I agree with you.
