It's all the fault of the "assault rifle", not the criminal...

Anti-gun editorial masquerading as news -- instead of reporting the news, the author uses it to advocate gun control...

The Christian Science Monitor was supposed to be a reputable newspaper...

CA already has all the things the gun grabbers want to inflict on the nation, as far as I am aware, including formal registration of defensive rifles. But it didn’t stop this particular crime. So why is the CS Monitor using the incident as a reason to push expansion of the same failed policies elsewhere? Answer: because the facts don’t matter in the pursuit of this particular agenda.

When you have a place like Santa Monica, California, which has no restrictions on guns whatsoever, of course, these things are bound to happen.

This is really sad about the Monitor. I have no idea what the editor is like but I know some Christian Scientists and they are all very conservative and do not like or vote for Obama.

Shooter must be a moslem since we’ve heard zero about him.

So, was the shooter a member of the rope or not.

The shooting may help efforts to revive the debate about gun control...

Americans could really squelch this "debate" if we could convince the local "news media" Ken and Barbies to report that all of the victims were heterosexual conservatives and members of the local TEA Party.

News media is popularizing the notion of using “assault weapons” for mass killings. They’re talking the killers into it.

California’s restrictive gun laws are obviously working (/sarc).

The Socialist Republic of Santa Monica couldn’t be a better place to focus hysteria and launch round two of the Great Gun Grab of 2013.

". . . a witness described a man in his 20s with corn rows in his hair taking aim and firing at random people and vehicles, before engaging in a gun battle with police . . . ."

corn rows?

All the deranged killers are deranged.

And derangement in America is part of the strategy of those people I rail about all the time. When one wants gun control laws to be passed, provide some terror attacks to make the population feel that submitting to gun control is in their best interest.

Indoctrination schools, deranged psycho-pills industry, entertainment media that glorifies immorality. All have ties to the foundation system.

A CIA that has admitted the MKUltra progam in Senate testimony. And it has ties to the foundation system.

Would those running our government use what’s at their disposal to attack American citizens ?

The IRS thingie gives us proof of that plain as day.

Hints:

Damning evidence and information is spirited away into the private sector; Sandy Berger’s theft gives us recent hard evidence of that.

The Foundations are run outside of ANY oversight whatsoever and no scrutiny and are free to serve any needs of the financial oligarchy, whose forefathers’ capital placed in these tax-exempt organizations is now worth many many billions. They can carry on missions that span generations and they are self-perpetuating and self-funded.

Never mind...I guess it wasn't pink.

Critics argue that the rifles are designed to be militaristic and offensive.

I hear they're slutty and get their clothes from K-Mart, too!

Didn’t the man know it was illegal to use body armor while committing a crime?
