another sniper

[Ivan]

Ivan just 'cos someone kills doesn't mean they are a muslim nutter.
Its tragic that there are mentally disturbed people that feel that they have to do something like this to get their 5 mins of fame

err the first one admitted he has some sympathies with UBL... but still they need a ban on guns in the whole of the USA

[ozzy72]

Don't go there on the gun laws in the US Ivan. Our American members are pretty evenly split down the middle on this issue, and last time the arguement went on for weeks
Personally I think that in controlled conditions shooting is fine. Letting anyone get a gun and carry it on the streets... err no!
I enjoy shooting and am a member of several clubs.
Let us hope that the police catch this individual soon, before anyone else dies. There is a lot of info on this guy already. Overweight, white, middle aged driving a maroon pick-up. According to the news this morning.

Ivan, I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but there is no ban on guns throughout the entire country.

Second, just because the first sniper was a Muslim, doesn't mean that the person or persons responsible for these latest shootings is a Muslim.

Third, the Muslim religion does not condone violence and murder.  As someone who has spent considerable time studying various religions, I can assure you that Muslims do not all go around killing people.

Just thought you'd want to know the truth...

[Ivan]

Jst because they said it was a copycat action... exactly the same pattern, shooting people near gas stations so there could be some connection between the suspects (or not at all, but that's for the cops to find out)
Just the kind of stuff where you don't need aircraft, trucks, nukes, anthrax or other stuff the security department checks for at the moment, just one of the thousands of guns you have in the USA.

Muslims do not all go around killing people.

i agree 100% with that

Jst because they said it was a copycat action...

True copycat criminals generally follow the pattern, but don't necessarily have the same ideology.  In fact, most of the time their agenda is publicity and notoriety, not a similar belief system.

Huh?

[Ivan]

if the guy is a terrorist i mean, not a freaked-out decent citizen but a guy hired by someone to spread fear in a cheap-as-possible way.

Anyway, even in Amsterdam you run the risk of being perforated with 9mm while being an innocent bystander, as the underworld seems to be trigger-happy the last months

[Scottler]

Ivan, all due respect, but you're making absolutely no sense.

There have been no reports to indicate that what you're saying is true, and in fact, that is what will spread fear...people spreading false information.  

Second, terrorist organizations are among the wealthiest "companies" in the world.  They're hardly inhibited by the "let's do it cheap" philosophy.

Third, what in God's name are you talking about as far as the gun issue?  You're all over the place, dude!
