The left defends the 1st amendment right to freedom of religion.
These incidents always bring up the same 2 opposing but equally ineffective arguments. The left will argue that giving up our 2nd amendment rights will make us safe (it won't), and the right will argue that giving up our 1st amendment rights will make us safe (which won't either).
The left's argument is simply impossible. Guns aren't going away. The right's argument is disingenuous because they wrongly assume that infringing on the religious freedoms of Muslims won't affect their own religious freedoms as Christians (mob mentality in action there).
The worst part IMO is that everyone will put their own political agenda ahead of the victims.

If possible, I would like complete banning of ownership of guns.
The only ones who benefit from gun sales are manufacturers and politicians.
Guns are a huge part of the problem. This guy couldn't have done what he did without at least 1.
Well that's pretty much straight out of the Quran.When you're so fucked up in the head you think mass-killing 50 innocents is "moral" but two kissing men is not...
And which religions or political ideologies tend to be the least responsible with gun ownership in civil society?
Maybe the one that was awarded by politicians the dubious moniker, "religion of peace". You know, just in case anyone missed the memo and wasn't seeing it based on the actions of it's most devoted adherents.
Looks like islam fails the social responsibility litmus test.

Nobody on the left with any sense thinks we can get rid of guns. What we can do is get some sensible laws on the books that MAY help under certain circumstances. But the gun nutters think its a slippery slope and in 4 years death panels will be marching through the streets taking everyones guns away and tossing them in gayafication camps while obama sits as ruler of the universe.
Greetings,
And the knee jerk reaction continues: never mind the terror spewed by Christians in this country with the almost complete genocide of the Native American culture. Such ideology as Manifest Destiny created an environment where religious zealots fueled by political propaganda slaughtered innocent lives and corralled the remainder into concentration camps called "reservations." Yet again, we see such radical claims to a moral highground with a backdrop of "terrorism."
Wait and find out the facts...

with the limited knowledge of this case, assuming the gun was legally purchased with a background check. What law do you propose that would allow someone that can legally buy a gun, that would also stop something like this from happening?
Ahhh America. Where one nut job can do the horrific and people en mass fall all over themselves to lay blame at the feet of millions of others who had nothing to do with it.
Wrong, people can do a lot more damage in even less times with planes into buildings or strategically placed bombs.Just compare UK & US deaths caused by gun violence each year.
No person can kill over 20 - 50 people in a few minutes without guns, with any religion.
I'm not going to say you're wrong I do feel terrorist should have a strong foreign tie otherwise the term gets convoluted like rape vs date rape vs I felt guilty sex.
Same with racist nut bag. I don't want that term getting watered down either.
Islam is foreign to this country. His parents are Afghan. Such terrorism is imported into this country.
Christianity is foreign to this land too.
Could you link to that passage? I'd like to read it.Well that's pretty much straight out of the Quran.
Ah, right, because no one was using the word terrorist to describe Americans killing other Americans before 9/11, because you know, Islam and PC, bro.
pot meet kettle.
