A follower of Zoroastrianism?

Or something else?

I think thats becoming less and less the case actually, at least for the EU.

Life for life, nobody bests America in the violent gun death category, at least not in the 1st world. One has to stress the numbers with athletic abandon to get anything approaching the US gun homicide rate by tossing in places like Bosnia and the like. The US is number 1 with a proverbial bullet in terms of gun homicides if you will pardon the pun.

If you knock out the Hood and Suicides for most people there is no major difference.

Suicides were knocked out. Violent gun homicides only. We're number 1! We're number 1! We're number 1!

9mm Glock was the weapon . used .in this shooting ... Adam lanza had a Glock 20 handgun Sig Sauer P226 9mm handgun in his possession .during the shooting. .

the shooters in the columbine shootings had a TEC-DC9 9-mm. the Orlando shooter had a The Glock 17 9mm with him during that shooting.

Liberals are pushing an assault weapons ban again .All of these killers had handguns with them during the shootings. ... As shown in Germany very capable of mass killings in the hands of the wrong person . Banning a certain set of guns will not solve the problem of mass killings ... Cannot get a gun.... use a pressure cooker as in the Boston bombings ... or just a truck like in Nice ... The drumbeat to ban the AR-15 goes on as what happened in Mass. this last week.

No indication of Islamic cultist terrorism. No indication he was even interested in that sort of thing. Seemed to be more interested in neo-Nazi causes, mass shooters, and their psychology. Picked the day for a specific reason. Has ''obvious'' links to the Norway neo-Nazi. Had psychological issues. Had quite a lot of rounds (how did he get the weapon?) but didn't seem to use all of them. Lured children specifically, and the majority of these were of different ethnicities. His name is different than the one that floated around on social media, but it's possible this was the name he used online.

So a terrorist that doesn't 'fit' into the narrative of the atypical, but certainly is a terrorist.

I see what you did there.

Exactly. For European Americans the rates are less.

Blanket bans on guns will do little to nothing except take weapons away from people law abiding citizens. I do favor certain background checks and agree that there is no reason to facilitate gun ownership for maniacs. But what sets the U.S. apart from i.e. Europe, Canada or Australia is far more complex than gun laws. Part culture, part size, part population, part poverty, part historical failures in dealing with mental illnesses etc.

50% of Hawaii residents own guns. Hawaii's gun homicide rate is lower than most European countries. The same is true for North Dakota and Idaho.

Is that rate doubled for folks who are half European?

Isn't Hawaii a low gun ownership rate state? Lots of regulations. In any case, VT also has one of the highest gun ownership rates, and one of the lowest gun homicide rates. In fact, year after year it is head to head between Hawaii and Vt when it comes to safety and health for #1 in the nation. I agree maniacs shouldn't have guns. But I also agree that culture, mental illness etc has alot to do with what we're seeing. But lets not forget - even all the gun laws currently proposed, would not have prevented hardly any of the shootings we've seen in recent years.

Forgot to mention, a huge contribution to homicides and gun deaths comes from NYC, Chicago or LA, all places with stricter gun control, and then when you add all the locations that are "gun free zones" like schools and such. Also, if you remove the subcultures that do not originate in Europe, and have no significant numbers in Europe(African American and American Hispanics) the murder rate for the United States falls into the middle of European murder rates. That's not racism, it's stats directly from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

70% of homicides in the US take place in just 3% of counties.

Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.

God, I love numbers, they have no agenda and they never lie.

I agree. Stats are just stats. They have no agenda.

According to the central committee of SJWs, statistics are generally "problematic" and numbers are.. What's the other one.. Drenched in "toxic masculinity", there we go.
