Uhh how about after ever mass shooting happens many politicians push very vehemently for the strictest forms of gun control they can. You do realize the first ban was authored by Feinswine who has since try to have pushed in again as law as often as she opens her mouth in the last 20 years.
After Sandy Hook, the amount of politicians pushing for gun control that they actually drafted a bill at the federal level again made a lot of people take notice again and it did drive up prices. Add to the fact that in the previous case the bill had major presidential backing, just like the last one drafted after Sandy Hook, that is why many gun rights people were worried another one would pass. The original one passed because of a mass shooting that involved the death of children which is a very similar situation with Sandy Hook mass shooting.
Even though no federal law passed after Sandy Hook, many states passed stricture gun laws that did ban some guns based on cosmetics of the guns. Many of the same people in power that passed the original AWB of 1994 are still alive and in power today.
Gun owners: The most oppressed minority in america.
Can you imagine how hard it must be to be a white, male, Christian gun owner in this country? The oppression is.. oppressing.
Apparently making a distinction between murdering the general public and murdering only those who don't follow the Muslim world's demands means something to you. Not to me; I prefer to live life on my hind legs, thank you. And no, this is not a religious nuts problem. This is a Muslim problem, almost exclusively. No other religion has schools instructing its youth on how and why to murder non-believers, or teaches that murdering non-believers is an automatic pass into heaven. Every religion has its lone nuts. Only Islam has mass production.First, I agree that's too many and already said so. Second, note that this is the percentage who expressed some support for attacking Charlie Hebdo specifically, not terrorism against the general population. Third, that is comparable to the Christian conservatives who support violence against abortion providers, The point is this isn't a Muslim problem, it's a religious nuts problem.
That story appears to be grossly distorted.
Odd that you go back to 1966 and yet miss both the Fort Hood massacre and our own allah snack bar murder spree of four here in Chattanooga this year. Of course, Obama hasn't yet decided that one was terrorism either.Off the top of my head, for the recent shootings I recall and one thrown in from 1966, here are the stats:
Sandy Hook, Adam Lanza -- 28 killed
Aurora, CO, James Holmes -- 12 killed, 70 wounded
Colorado Springs, Robert Dear -- 3 killed, 9 wounded
Clackamas Mall, Oregon, Jacob Tyler Roberts -- 2 killed, 1 wounded
Charleston, SC, Dylan Roof -- 9 killed, 1 wounded
San Bernardino, Farook and Malik -- 14 killed, 21 wounded
. . . .
UT-Austin 1966 Charles Whitman -- 16 killed, 32 wounded
I'm more interested in mass shootings over the last 10 years. Anyone remember any others in the US?
The Paris terrorists killed 130, wounded 368.
For the moment, it's as though the SB attack is a national emergency, and the rest didn't happen. However, as I've said before, the ISIS affiliates seem to be copy-catting crazy people.
Such effective propaganda they have!! "See? We're criminally insane, too!"
It's been about 24 days since the Paris shootings, from which it followed that either ISIS threatened the US, or people speculated that there would be attacks here.
We'll have to wait and see what develops. How many attacks have been thwarted since 911?

Try to follow along, sweetie. The topic here is support for others' violence, NOT the commission of violence. Those who commit terrorist violence or are actively engaged in planning and executing such violence are animals, and I never even hinted otherwise. I simply pointed out levels of support from radical religious nuts are comparable. I think both the Muslims who support ISIS terrorism and the Christians who support anti-abortion terrorism are wrong. YMMV.Apparently making a distinction between murdering the general public and murdering only those who don't follow the Muslim world's demands means something to you.

Eh, anti-abortion terrorism is supported by a few rogue groups and ISIS terrorism has its support in the millions of Sunnis.Try to follow along, sweetie.

Show me another religion with hundreds of millions of radicals. It doesn't exist sweetie.
The US only? Why be so racist.
Anders Behring Breivik - Norway, 77 killed, 2011
Seung-Hui Cho - Virginia Poly Tech, killed 33, 2007
Pekka-Eric Auvinen - Killed 9, Finland
Baruch Goldstein - Killed 29, Israel (a US born physician..)
Tim Kretschmer - Killed 16, Germany 2009
Ok I'm picking on Europe lets move on..
William Unek - Belgian Congo - 57 killed, 1957
Richard Komachech - 1996 killed 26
Karanja, Peter - 2010, Keyna, killed 10
Li Xianliang - 2010, China, killed 17
Frankly this stuff has been going on forever.
See it all here. Japan seems to be the only country immune (mostly).

Have at it. Let us know what you think.Give me the link to the Pew research result then, not an opinion video. Remember the link must show hundreds of millions as you claimed.
Is there an explanation for this:
Remember the facts: We have multiple eyewitnesses clearly stating there were 3 shooters. We have police doing door to door searches for another suspect. We have multiple shootout scenes. (WTF?) We also have a timeline that just stinks to high heaven. And most importantly we have millions of people raving about muslims and gun control and almost no one is looking at the actual evidence. There's even a craigslist ad hiring crisis actors whose phone number is mapped to a location within walking distance of the crime scene.
Here is a video that seems to sum up what is wrong with all this:

It takes some time to digest it. This is still very much a work in progress. But it might be a good idea to download that video in case it gets taken down.
