    They are saying people injured, but not killed.

    Let's hope that it stays that way and no one dies of their injuries.

    Sounds like another terrorist attack. Hard to believe though, since Germany has strict gun control laws, which have been proven to stop criminals from committing these kinds of attacks. Plus these things only happen in the US according to our President.

    open European borders.

    no border checks.

    this will lend weight to the Brexit vote

    Sounds too poorly executed to be Islamic terrorism.

    Bad guys will always have access to guns, even in a country with gun control.

    Historically or in the next 10 years?

    to be fair, even common sense gun laws will not remove guns from those that have them, nor will it prevent anyone from buying unless on no-fly list

    The only thing they're saying now is that the shooter was "disturbed". That's highly specific....

    But yeah, I mean the left is trying to turn a blatant ISIS inspired Orlando shooter into a self-hating homosexual who just happened to belong to a religion of love and unicorns.

    But then, they've done it with every terrorist incident....Ft Hood, Chattanooga....it's ridiculous.

    I'm watching ABC right now; George Stephanopoulos just reported this as an attack by the Tea Party.

    Yes we need to get rid of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution for our own safety, provided by the people who allowed these nutjobs here in the first place, right?

    I hear North Korea has such a system, maybe you'd be happier there?

    Were Rebel flags involved?

    There are about 600-800 murders in Germany per year. Your number is only ~90% off. Good guess, though.

    How did this happen when the EU and Germany has specficlly told bad guys that owning guns is immoral and that shooting people is even worse ?!

    It's obvious that this shooter didn't receive the memo.

    Germany has 80 million people, we have 300 million. And I assure you the number is much higher than 50.

    Strange how no other details have been released yet

    Sounds like someone trying to copycat the Orlando shooting, only this person wasn't good at copycating since he killed no one but got himself killed.

    Very true. I believe the differentiator involves how many times incidents like these happen in countries with vs. without said access.
