    The biggest load of propaganda that Americans go on about is that Australian gun laws were to stop homicides not mass shootings.

    Well 352 mass shootings in 336 days in the US compared to 0 mass shootings in Australia in 336 days.

    To be fair to them, there's also the problem that America has a greater proportion of bent-headed fuckwits than any other western country.

    Not doing anything about the gun laws is another thing on the Obama charge sheet actually. Doubt anyone will ever do it if he doesn't.

    Apart from the attempts he made that were blocked by the Republican controlled House?

    How was he meant to do something like that? The idea of implementing gun control in the US is as ludicrous as banning tea in England. Opposition to gun control in the populace increased after the Sandy Hook massacre. If you can't get it then, you'll never get it.

    Obama spent his political capital on healthcare, and that was the right call. History will see that as a big success, in face of serious political opposition.

    We'll use it on him the next time he's patronising and authoritative on a subject he knows little about.

    We really shouldn't have to wait that long.

    There's a shootout going on, and they're also in pursuit of another vehicle.

    Yeah, but tea isn't killing us, Litvinenko aside. People will grow tired of that in the end. If they don't, then they deserve it.

    My friend in America sez that every time they get a shooting, or some terrorism happens, Facebook gets swamped with 'This is why we need Bernie...' essays.

    Really? That is a bit odd, given that gun control is probably the one area where Hillary's actually further to the left than Bernie is.

    Oh I do. I just like slagging off Obama because everything about him screams useless twat to me, and yet he is fawned over here to an absolutely ludicrous extent. His 'approval' among Brits is up in the 70s or something even though in the one area that affects us, foreign policy, he's been crap. I think it's race guilt.

    I just heard that the mighty USA has had more than 1 mass shooting every day in 2015.

    But yeah, there's no problems.

    You could call Obama a lot of things but I don't think useless is one of them. I'm not really sure what you expect from him. He got Obamacare done which even old Clinton couldn't do, and the Iran Deal was one of the few foreign policy successes in the past fifteen years or so. I hope the Trans-Pacific Partnership fails but that would be another one. Given the extent to which Republicans have controlled Congress I think he's done pretty well for himself.

    In terms of his popularity you have to consider that anyone would seem like a savior coming off the back of Bush.

    This was an Islamist attack then. The bloke behind it had pledged allegiance to IS. Sorry, Daesh.

    I'm surprised there aren't more Islamist attacks in America given how easy it is to get access to guns.

    I thought this might go that way. They had bombs and guns, the FBI didn't rule out terrorism which they would normally do immediately, and the attackers had Muslim names. It being a workplace dispute sounded far-fetched to me.

    IS-inspired rather than IS-organised though, you'd think. There has been no claim and it's a rubbish target.

    Seems to come across as very much a self radicalised thing. The bombs made were from a Al-Qaeda magazine article called 'How to make bombs in your Moms kitchen' which, I have to say, is more infortmative than the majority of Cosmo articles.

    In other Gun related news. America will have a QVC-esque Shopping Channel dedicated to shooting people in the face.

    "The ease and convenience of purchasing firearms will be as simple as consumers calling a toll-free number and placing their order,"

    Sounds fantastic.

    If you get the transparency right you will be able to show your support for COMMIEFORNIA while also being able to ask for reparations. Win-win.

    The female Muslamics baffle me. You can understand the likes of Taz going out there for a bit of adventure and self-esteem, because you can't get your certainty-backed, macho beheading fix elsewhere; but there must be easier ways for a disenfranchised young lass to get smacked into servitude (right Hammer?).

    Reading a few surveillance sites and the interesting thing they're noting is the Facebook post (under a different previously unlinked account) wasn't found via an IP but actually Facebooks internal facial recognition program that it uses to suggest friends to tag in photos.

    MSNBC is currently going through their house. It's a total shit show. Highlights include rummaging through childrens toys, showing the; driving license, credit card and social security numbers of the sister. Many jokes ensue online and then a guy straight up walks out of the house carrying this:


    There's no need for satire any more.

    So, so good.

    I'd love to watch them watching this stuff back.

    Anderson Cooper is presenting this nightmare unfolding while wanting nothing to do with it. It's a post-modern art installation on 24 hour news created by 24 hour news.
