Looks like a hate-crime to me.

But instead of a white supremacist from OK etc., it was some (Muslim) guy with a family background from a comparable backwards, bigotted, ignorant place (Afghanistan) who had a grudge against gays ...

I should add that this fact and the easy access of assault weapons/handguns is always a dangerous combination.

I think the problem isn't that people are allowed to own guns. I think the problem is that right-wing bigots are allowed to own guns.

The problem is the high prevalance of religious bigotry and easy access to weapons of mass destruction.

I think both should be reigned in significantly. People need to lay off the religion and gun whoreship in general.

I think the problem is you have people willing to engage in 'going postal' acts of mass murder and self-immolation. The guns just make it easier, but we've just had a guy in the UK convicted of attempted for trying it with a knife at an Underground station.

Yeah, but with a knife you definitely won't kill 50+ people ...

Everyone knows that the GOP is idiotic.
