Hate is hate and guns are killing machines that unhinged people in North America have unnatural access to. It doesn't matter where the person is from who pulled the trigger. Marc Lapine targeted women, TImothy McVeigh targeted black people and what about Sandy Hook... these are sad, cowardly acts. Is it a political statement? Only in so far as it shows hate for minorities and the vulnerable.
How do we make it stop? The answer is NOT in banning whole groups of people. They are not the problem but recently with all the vitriol being spewed, muslims, unfortunately have become the targets. Who's next? Mexicans?
