I thought "gun ban" laws meant safety? Doesn't seem to matter much huh?

Surtur
On top of that I thought Germany had some of the BEST gun laws in all of time and space? I'm always hearing about the gun laws of Europe, but damn the place is so chalk full of murder these days. Whether by gun or sword or trucks or bombs.

It's almost like their laws aren't stopping people from just coming into their country and murdering them, but hey not all the people are murderers so it's all good. Just go to the funeral of the people killed in this attack and explain to their family members that hey..they aren't all bad.

It's like the shittiest lottery ever that is going on in these countries and just pray you never win this lottery. Of course most of the time a person gets to choose to play the lottery, the people of Germany didn't get to choose to play this.

socool8520
They do...we have to store our firearms in the military armory if we are even allowed to bring them. this is why I think gun bans will solve nothing. Criminals don't care about laws. It's a John Madden statement, but it's true.

I work with a German national and she says the consensus for her and a lot of her friends is that they do not want the refugees in their country. There has already been rape cases here and refugees demanding that German women cover themselves.

Surtur
Not only has there been rape, but the government covers up the rape of its own people. Just like here we'll censor the parts of the 911 call with the Orlando shooter that mention ISIS.

Isn't it weird when a government seems more concerned for murderers and rapists as opposed to the victims?

Lestov16
I have nothing to add here. I'm trying to sympathize with these refugees, I really am, but as I stated in another thread, if Islam is incompatible with secularism and human rights, then it's an ideology that must be eradicated.

What do you mean?

There are far less gun murders in places with gun bans.

socool8520
Doesn't seem to be stopping them to much these days. France has gun bans and they have been several shooting in the past two years.

Fair enough. I'm just saying it isn't really stopping anything. The criminals are going to get them regardless. It almost creates a false sense of security.

The sense of security makes all the difference.

Low social trust is part of the reason why there are many gun murders.

Gun laws aren't meant to be that effective against attacks that have a lot of planning and though behind them, but rather cut down impulse killings.

Is it not the planned killings that seem to usually come with more devastation though?

Again, terrible news and I'm affraid Germans, much like the French, will see it's just a start of a wave of similar incidents.

Like i said, nobody at this point knows anything, it's just what 1 eyewitness said. I would be lying if I said the first thing that came to my mind wasn't ISIS. Especially after the axe lunatic a few days ago.

Well before I comment further, I'll wait for the perpetrator(s) to be properly identified.

As long as they only shot those black people that were in some way asking for it then all is okay.

Seems plausible if that is the case. German officials wanting to sway the public that was getting more and more angry at migrants greenlight this operation and blame it on German nationalists.

Something needs to be done. The solution: more integration, more migrants.



If it's an Islamic terrorist, however....

You just REALLY want this to be ISIS...

First you say the perpetrator had a beard, now you're saying he doesn't because he had to blend in with the populace.

Im dead serious. I am basing this on demographics and crime statists un related to the recent mass influx of migrants.

White people are still the dominate race in Germany and commit the most crimes there.

Ergo, this has to be 3 crazied white nazi nationalists.

No other conclusion can be reached at this point until I am proven wrong.

So the "official" story from the German government seems to be this was an Iranian dude who just was super into mass shootings.

They found no direct ties to Islam or ISIS, as if they expected to find an "I'm a terrorist ask me how" t-shirt.

Doesn't Islam encourage people to act alone? This guy shouted "Allahu Akbar" before he started shooting, but we are expected to believe he was some disturbed loner who just loved mass shootings and pulled no inspiration from Islam?

The actually ****ed up thing now is, poilticians are going for video games again...

1 guy runs amok and had some of those games, while no game ever told the player to do this in real life, let's ban all violence related games on this planet.

and yet

Countless of people spread across the entire globe follow the teachings of a holy scripture and cause terror and persecute people exactly how it's written (and demanded) in those pages, nobody bats an eye.

Was it proven a myth? Some witnesses apparently said he said it. Though of course these things can easily get made up.

Video games do the opposite of what people think. It's an outlet, not something that leads to more violence. In other words some people might even be less violent due to getting to work out some of these frustrations in video games.

Plus they found books on mass shootings so it seems odd to focus on the games.

No worries and I wasn't doubting you, we had our own war-on-games here back in the day lead by non other than H. Clinton. Much of it was silly iirc, but it did lead to a good outcome, violent/adult games being properly labeled.

Eh, yeah it gave us game labels true. It did also leave a stigma around gamers though that didn't completely fade until the last 5-10 years.

So the "official" story from the German government seems to be this was an Iranian dude who just was super into mass shootings.

They found no direct ties to Islam or ISIS, as if they expected to find an "I'm a terrorist ask me how" t-shirt.

Doesn't Islam encourage people to act alone? This guy shouted "Allahu Akbar" before he started shooting, but we are expected to believe he was some disturbed loner who just loved mass shootings and pulled no inspiration from Islam?

That link also claims he shouted "Allahu Akbar".

A woman claims he shouted aluh Akbar. A man claimed he also shouted **** foreigners and talked shit about turkey, an Islamic country with sympathies for ISIS.

Surtur
Is it not possible he did both? Are you saying this is like a "hands up don't shoot" thing and the witnesses made it up? I suppose that is possible.

Tzeentch
No, I'm saying that cursing immigrants and one of the few countries that's sympathetic to Islamic extremism doesn't fit the narrative of him being an Islamic extremist. Between that and him having documented mental illnesses and a history of being bullied, it seems more likely that he was a mentally ill spree shooter more akin to the school shooters we see here in the states, rather than a religiously motivated terrorist.

Surtur
Or he was mentally ill, loved mass shootings, and also pulled some stuff from religion. These things aren't always necessarily just brought on by a single thing.

Him screaming "Allahu Akbar" doesn't exactly fit the narrative of religion having played zero part in this. It could be possible he's crazy so he just said it despite this having nothing to do with religion. It could be possible he's crazy so he said the stuff about Turkey despite this still having something to do with religion and Islam.

This is why I feel it's important to determine if he did indeed say it. I have tried to do searches online about it being a myth, but I haven't been able to find any so far. This does not prove it is true though.
