' Interesting point....why is it "always" only males who commit these mass shootings?'

Poirot

just have a little look at Isis sister Hamas and you will see there has been multiple attacks by young girl suicide attacks in Israel. Most go unreported as they don't fit the narrative of the Israel haters who are so prominent among our leftist media.

It all does not matter. All we can do is try and make it more
difficult for these outrages to occur.
First moslems should not be allowed to be security guards,
the majority in Australia are moslems.
Moslems should not be allowed to work on airports.
Similar risky jobs should be banned from employing moslems.

Now the ladies here will be screaming PC slogans about me saying that,
but be damned, I travel by air irregularly and I don't want to be like
the Russian holiday makers on their way home.

So the PC bleeding hearts don't like it, tough !
Let the moslems put up with it, it is their religion that is behind
it all. If they ever reform it then we could reconsider where they
can be employed.
After all you won't let a pilot who has been drinking inside 18 hours fly.

SM,

"A man is responsible for his actions. If the gun laws had been tighter, he would have had a smaller gun and killed less people, but remember that Monis in Aus committed terrorism with guns obtained in Aus under tough gun laws."

He did...after being squarely on the radar for quite some time...you do know ASIO attended every one of his court appearances in the year leading up to the siege?

Odd that.

Here's how the script goes.

Orlando shooting: For Republicans, it's easier to ban Muslims than guns

"In December last year Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik armed themselves with AR-15s - the same type of weapon used to kill 50 people in Orlando - and murdered 14 people at a Christmas party in San Bernardino, California, in what was soon classified as a terrorist attack.

The following day Republicans in Congress blocked a bill that would have banned people who were on the terrorist watch list from buying guns. The National Rifle Association opposed the ban on the grounds the list might contain mistakes, and some people might unfairly have their right to bear arms infringed upon.

The NRA's lackeys in Congress did as they were told, as they always do.

Since then Donald Trump has become the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee on a platform that includes a proposal to ban all Muslims from entering America "until we figure out what is going on."

But we already know what is going on. Over 40,000 Americans are dying each year partly because they live in a society in which it is more politically viable to propose banning Muslims than regulate gun sales."

otb,

Okay it's semi-automatic...from the article..."in a nine second video taken by a bystander, more than 20 rounds can be heard fired in rapid succession".

But don't let me spoil your big chance for a Muslim bash, folks.

...and while you're at it, try to completely overlook the fact that 99.99% of the people needlessly slaughtered in the almost daily mass shootings in America are slaughtered by non Muslims.

And so the madness continues ! Orchestrated this time by some deluded young man who thinks it best that he should aggressively display his unqualified love and support for the tenets of Islams, strict Sharia law.

Or alternatively, his overt abhorrence for all gays, and other such individuals of similar sexual proclivities. By barbarically massacring over fifty odd souls, who're merely out to enjoy good food and music and generally enjoying themselves ?

What can be done ? By all accounts this fellow was born and raised in the United States, so irrespective of his ethnic origins, he's just an ordinary American kid? Would much tougher gun laws provide any realistic relief from this sort of senseless slaughter ? I wouldn't have thought so, given if you want a gun no matter how regulated a place may be, you'll always manage to lay your hands on one, if the money's right ?

This shooter was born in America, and so is not such a boost to Trump's position on barring Muslim immigrants from the US.

The New York Times newspaper today stated that "A former co-worker, Daniel Gilroy, said Mr. Mateen had talked often about killing people and had voiced hatred of gays, blacks, women and Jews." That description could well be applied to many people of Christian and other faiths (or no faith) in America as well couldn't it? It could apply to Trump and his followers too.

We are all well aware of the hatred of gay people and lifestyles amongst many Americans, without any input from the Muslim population at all. Obviously, this was more of a hate killing in a country that has a long history of hate killings against black people and gay people.

This guy stated he was "inspired" by ISIS, and that may well be true, but how the hell did someone on the FBI's watch list get to legally buy guns?
If the Americans are too weak to stand up to gun lobby morons, then they can expect to see more of the same...

Obviously Susie is ignorant of the real world of Islam as she supports and excuses Islam and constantly degrades American Christians as the real violent culprits in America. She is fixated on hatred of Christians in general as they had no part in the shooting violence and mass murders in America.
