Sounds like you're one of those tree huggers who also thinks they need to shower every day so they don't smell.

I live about 30 min away from San Bernardino. I was in LA at the time I got the first notification about the shoot but I was driving so I didn't read much aside from "shooting". I think the sad thing is I kinda went "this is an almost everyday thing". It wasn't until later when I actually opened up my CNN app that I read San Bernardino, which it home real quick. I mean who the fuck shoots up a nonprofit that helps special needs individuals?

Well, it appears possible disgruntled employees/possible terrorists do.

Are you okay with a police officer having a visible firearm? What difference does it make if it's on the hip of a police officer vs. an everyday person? I would personally rather have open carry than concealed carry. You can clearly see if a person is reaching for their gun with open carry. Concealed carry, you might think they were reaching for a pack of smokes or a lighter.

Look at it this way: those deaths are the price for having the 2nd amendment. A majority of Americans want guns readily available, this won't change.

Those shooters are trash. My sibling stayed at a Pakistani household during a student exchange and it was an experience that learned all of us never to deal with those people again :lol: I mean it's generalisation but damnit sometimes you get pissed off :|

The female shooter posted a pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (ISIS head) before the shooting, ISIS claimed the pair as being their own, and it's being investigated by the FBI as a terrorist act (source), so I don't know why you're referring to it as a "workplace dispute" or "possible terrorism." It's clear-cut terrorism.

Obviously ISIS's current strategy seems to be to kick the hornets nest as much as possible, what with them blowing up Russian airliners and coordinating shootings in the US and France.

In the sad state of political correctness, the press conferences still announce they have no idea what the motive was. With all the weapons stashed obvious preplanned you idiots!

On a side note I hate non profits that do not pay their share of taxes for the roads, services and Police protection. There are multiple high rise "non-profit" buildings in my city that are tax exempt.

I've decided to tune out all this bullshit. Better this way, it's all bullshit and everybody's selling their own brand. See ya next year folks! (at least in this thread)
