Need to focus on the guns, as it's not a muslim, no matter how irrelevant to this story they are. Hell, he's not even black... have to do something!

Maybe you could rant about people of Armenian descent, which he seems to be?

You seem so ready to ban guns... you must be very disappointed nekran.

I tihnk you are the one who is dissapointed that he wasn't black or muslim.

Also I didn't advocate a gun-ban at all.

I just pointed out how sad it is that that is what you are focusing on in this story, considering its total irrelevance.

Not what you focus on when someone more colorful purposefully hits people with a vehicle, is what I was pointing out.

You can still go for hating on Armenians if you feel like something new, though.

I dont think you grasp the concept of probability very well. Members of civilized societies still commit crimes. Less often though.

Banning guns is absurd. There are specific types of guns that I understand banning, but not all.

Also, it's Toronto, so it's probably a hockey fan that lost his shit since the leafs simply can't win a cup.

Says the guy who thinks over a billion people should be murdered in cold blood beause a tiny fraction of them has committed violent acts.

"a tiny fraction of them has committed violent acts."

But a very large fraction of them support violent acts, both historically and in the modern era.

Spend some time in a ME nation, where Islamists don't need to pretend to be elevated and secular - teaching that every day not living under Caliphate is a sin.

I've spent a bit over a month traveling around the ME. How about you?

Eight weeks in Dushanbe for "cultural immersion", twelve in Adana (Incirlik) on TDY.

Tajikistan is not the middle east. It wont have to be destroyed, yet.

Turkey can avoid being on the list if they kill erdogan soon.

It'd highly surprise me if you often came across the notion that every day not living under Caliphate is sin in those places. Did you?

I know I didn't (though I did not go to Turkey or Tadjikistan). I found little understanding and plenty of pity for my atheism, but also surprisingly few judgement. Like everywhere else in the world I've been, people were generally quite nice.
