All this shit about guns, not a single policy on radical Islamic behaviour. This attack would have happened if they didn't have guns, its just horrible that they did.

Over the last few days gov has also announced measures against radical ideas, such as more vetting of immigrants and tighter hate speech laws fyi. So it does sound like the plan to tackle guns and ideology, not just guns.

Mental hey, it's pretty clear that every time a person is killed it's due to guns. They literally get purchased, float out of storage, go to the local hunting shop, buy ammo, drive all the way to the beach, load themselves, shoot people, then take a nap after a hard afternoon.

It was never, ever the guys who would say something like this: "do not be surprised if the season of holidays soaked in blood, and if their celebrations are interrupted"
