Terror in Munich

Just a gues. Lone wolf, Christian white mail, AR-15.
You need to change your name to tltwitter. You're all over that stuff.
Those German gun control laws are so lax that anyone can have a gun...oh, wait...
I think Germany is a very volatile situation and this may well kick off some built up retribution against refugees.
Gawd, this is getting old and I'm not going to post the Casablanca link: "Round up the usual suspects"!
Also reports that one of the shooters yelled anti-foreigner slogans and had a DFP (right wing nationalist party) flag draped around his shoulders.
These things are very fluid early on by their nature.
JD, not sure how rational any of these people are, or could be so this is conjecture on my part, but I would think a right-wing nationalist would absolutely never kill small children to protest the governments immigration policy. Maybe foreign kids, but not native born Germans (so guess will have to wait and see who was murdered). This shooting though on the heals of the Afghan kid with the axe seems more than coincidence.
Think it hurts Merkel, no matter who it is though.

Sites like Armslist need regulated. This is from thetrace.org:
In 2011, the City of New York and Mayors Against Illegal Guns, an earlier incarnation of Everytown for Gun Safety, conducted an undercover study of private gun sales arranged online. It found that 62 percent of the sellers contacted through Armslist and other websites agreed to continue with a sale even when the undercover buyers explicitly told them they probably couldn’t pass a background check.

Remember Norweign ultra-nationalist Anders Behring Breivik? He targeted children almost exclusively.
Reports regarding the Afghan kid with an axe indicate that was a personal crime of passion. He knew his victims. The mall shooting is now looking like a Columbine type motivation...young, mentally unstable, "victim" of bullying in school strikes back way out of proportion.
Looks like coincidence to me. Also looks like neither was motivated by religion or Muslim terrorism. Like I said earlier though, these things are very fluid and we may never have absolutely clear and certain knowledge regarding motivation.
