Truly terrible. Modern US terrorist attack, designed to make it even harder to legally enter our country.
Killed by a car, which is a weapon that results in fewer children deaths than guns.

you seem to be against using cars to kill people - but have no problems with using guns to kill people. That is a very strange stance to take.

when the Palestinians do this, the drivers are labeled 'martyrs' and 'heroes' by all your favorite terrorist groups.

Yet another link posted, that clearly hasn’t been read or understood by the poster.
Nowhere does it break out statistics detailing deaths exclusively by firearms compared to deaths exclusively from automobile accidents.

That is not fair. 645 has been very clear that he wants action taken to stop the killing. He just does not believe we need to punish law-abiding individuals or throw out the second amendment. Most here seem to think otherwise, but that does not mean his approach to reducing deaths is invalid.

I think there is a middle ground that seems lost in most threads - those that believe we have too many shootings, and that the Second Amendment does not mean we have to live in a free-for-all.

Which is basically the mainstream Dem position.
