Assholes are assholes. As I said earlier, you can sit on your hands and wait for politicians to agree or you can start doing things on an individual level. Our community has all kinds of free meetings to educate people on gun laws, self defense, situational awareness, life saving techniques, active shooter awareness, etc. Countless examples of lives being saved by people that know some of these basic things. Maybe we should give tax or insurance breaks for people that attend these classes, much like they do for defensive driving classes...? People are always looking for "steps in the right direction", but are unwilling to take any steps of their own.
tax breaks for attending safety classes is a fabulous idea.
Would probably save taxpayers and the government a lot in the long run, in medical bills alone! I'd add parenting classes to the list as well!
An enemy of our country, our beliefs, our lifestyle attacks us on our land and we want to penalize law abiding citizens. Wish ISIS had the same mentality. We could infiltrate Syria and kill some terrorists. They could blame themselves for the event and ban firearms from the terrorists.

Yes, The same guy that pledged his allegiance to Isis.

because he didn't want to yell "I love men and they don't love me!" to the 911 operator.

Yeah really. Honestly, the guy could have just as easily pledge his allegiance to Satan in this case and it wouldn't make any difference.

But he didn't. He pledged his allegiance to isis. That s a pretty big deal
What might have been the root of his sexual identity issue? Religious based guilt would be my guess. I don't think we can ignore either his sexual identity issues, or his religious identity issues. Both played a role as far as I can tell. One doesn't have sexual identity issues in a vacuum.

Not really, since ISIS actually has nothing to do with him, and he actually has nothing to do with ISIS.

seems like that was more of a smokescreen than anything. he wanted his 70 male virgins.

Yup.
I see people are eager to dismiss the ISIS affiliation. The ideology ISIS promotes appealed to this loser as he sank. But... I guess since he wasn't a time-tested ISIS soldier... it doesn't count?
Yah. Not sure about that. Placing limitations on ISIS' influence.
Who wants to bet me we will be debating this issue for the next 15 yrs and nothing will have been done and how many more massacres will have happened in that time ...

This is the reality. It's been said countless times: if Sandy Hook couldn't serve as the catalyst for meaningful legislation- or for changing the mindsets of gun worshippers-... then nothing can.

I don't think anyone is dismissing it, as much as they/I are questioning his true motives, which we will likely never know either way.

Maybe. Some comments sure seem to read that way though.
I think Jeffbr nailed it though. A gay guy unable to reconcile his reality with his messed up religious beliefs- ultimately going all in on religion.
why would a closeted gay man pledge alliegence to an organization that would have surely tortured and killed him if they knew his sexual orientation?
pledging to isis in that scenario makes no sense at all. that would be like me pledging alliegence to the israeli government before murdering a bunch of people.
this guy knew he was going to die, whether by cop or by suicide. i believe he said it for attention because he knew the worldwide media would report it.

Guilt and shame leading him to denounce homosexuality- like you can do that- and kill homosexuals in the hopes of salvation.

In other words let the massacres keep happening no big deal who cares if every couple of months another 20 or innocent people get mowed down I'm glad you have the stomach for it but I've had my fill of massacres , so yeah let's never do anything about and just keep manufacturing guns guns for everyone!!

I do not remember saying what you made up in your head to conclude I was saying... Just suggesting focusing on other ways of curbing gun violence that may be effective instead of wasting money...

I stand corrected I took your post to mean something else ..
I am not at all convinced that it was all in the name of ISIS. Not really. Sounds to me like this guy's ideas were all muddled up.
I don't really think ISIS had much to do,with this at all. He used isis as a distraction so, in his mind, people wouldn't find out about his homosexuality.
will myself to find a home, a home within myself we will find a way, we will find our place

Either way using ISIS is a fucked up way of thinking. To even give way to exonerate that way of thinking is fucked up.
The ISIS thing must be a late April fools joke then? he was christian then right?? and the FBI was watching him for shits and giggles? now this is making sense.
