8 dead and 12 injured last I heard. A witness also said he was nearby when the driver got out of the truck and he yelled "Allahu Akbar" apparently. Haven't seen any social media posts about vehicle restrictions and regulations or bans just yet.

Posted this one in the las vegas thread.

I should have been more clear I guess. I meant based on the NY event specifically. Seems awfully quiet.

Kevin's reply, based either on the Vegas or NY event, just says as long as someone pays for it with currency, one way or another, killing is ok.

In the business/political world, they do believe money can buy anything. Personally, I don't believe that.

I didn't even know this happened, my condolences to the the families and victims affected my this.



Hmm I'm starting to become more desensitized to this stuff. It's becoming too normal for my tastes.I wonder if he's by himself or if he's a part of a group.



The uglier the beard, the crazier the person.

5 of the victims were tourists from Argentine.

For me, it sounds like he is sarcastic, turning the arguments of those opposing to gun contron on their heads. He's pointing out that you need a driver's license, which you only get after having passed your tests ad driving lessons, that a car insurance is obligatory and that every single vehicle is registered and has an unique plate. So basically there's already "truck control" but these points don't exist with guns, at least not the same way and as thourough as with cars and other vehicles.

The fact of the matter is that at the core of what he said, is that as long as someone pays money, whether it be for tough vehicle regulations, or tough gun regulations, to be able to legally have and use those items, then using them to kill is acceptable, considering innocent people are being mowed down with both guns, and vehicles. If he didn't mean that, then he should have said something more along the lines of "Yes, obviously we do need much stricter regulations and restrictions on vehicles, as well as guns". If he would have said that, he would be taken seriously. That's not what he said though. Which makes me assume he must be going against the Fox comment. While unlikely, he could be going along with Fox, and pointing out that the vehicle control we have now, which is much more in depth than guns, obviously isn't working good enough either, yet no one is complaining. I don't think that is the case though.

Personally I thought the same as boffer and had same interpretation it also feels like a complaint from Fox that backfired.  'Sure he killed people with guns but would you say we need to be stricter if he did it with a truck?'  the point Kevin makes is that 'we' are stricter and it is harder to get the abilitry to drive with a car/pick up/truck than it is to get a gun.

Religion of peace!

Yes it is.  The actions of a few do not speak for the sentiment of the whole.

The fact  that only a small percentage of Muslims  observes  Muhammad’s genocidal teachings in its entirety, does not make this death cult anymore peaceful.

You talk of peace. How ironic. 

Isn’t it ironic to call a death cult “the religion of peace”?
