Speaking as a Sikh, I don't feel the US government should be apologizing for the Wisconcin shootings. Some people are upset because they are grieving and so are lashing out at all and any targets. That doesn't mean that the US Government has to address this formally outside of offering personal condolences. The media is following its own objectives as usual judging by the heading.

Also for the record, all Sikhs believe in the right to bear arms. It is a key Sikh philosophical view, a free people is an armed people, anything else is bondage however soft the shackles. Anybody who wishes to use this tragedy to enforce laws which take this right away is being foolish.

The right to bear arms is something Americans should feel proud of. It is one of the principles that Sikhs Admire Americans for having faith in.

Chardi Kala, people have died, that doesn't mean we all have to turn into cowards, forever scared of the very world we live in. Have faith in God, celebrate their lives, get armed and welcome the next attempt.

What shocked me is the Sihks in India, and even here who are playing the part of victim.

I was stunned to hear that not one Sihk was armed for defense.

I am sorry for your community’s loss.

America mourns the death of their Sikh brothers, fellow Americans.
