Seems this is an ongoing situation, the gunman has taken hostages and barricaded himself in. Good thing that gun control works :kookoo:

Up to 50 injured or killed.

Know what lying idiot said that?

Story Quote: "And police could not immediately confirm whether the weapon was genuine."


What! Have the Germans become stupid all of a sudden?

Maybe you should wait for the facts to settle before making your arguments?

German authorities also confirmed that no hostages were injured.

Mr Beuth, the Hesse state interior minister, has responded to reports that the weapon was a "gas or stun gun."

He said police could not confirm whether the weapon was a genuine firearm.

You think that people who advocate gun control is saying that increased gun control means that there will never be any murder sprees EVER? You are basically committing a massive confirmation bias fallacy. Single cases are not interesting, statistics and trends are. I might as well claim that there is no need to play offensive soccer, because teams playing with a constant 10 player defense have scored goals in some matches.

 

[ok doser]

Single cases are not interesting...

then the orlando shooting has no significance?

cool

As a sole argument for gun control, no. As one in countless shootings like that in the US as well as the insane homicide by firearm rate of the US, it does.

As one witness said:

"This is something very unusual for our town. I've never seen anything like that. I never want to see anything like that again."​

American Christian right wing exceptionalism gets pretty ugly when it rejoices in the misfortunes of anyone in their outgroup.
