Really? Some do.. some don't.. There are a lot of various cultures within the middle east that do wear turbans and are muslim... There are also a lot of other cultures in the middle east who don't wear turbans and are muslims.

I was referring to the "stereotype" anyway... You know, the idiotic stereotype adopted by the ignorant folks about all muslims wearing turbans based on watching the Taliban, Al Queda etc.. on Fox News... Make sense?

Same thing with that guy who popped a bunch of people in Tucson a few years earlier. Certifiable, known, nut job. I'm disheartened that people want to ban objects; the issue is banning people who are violent and prone to committing some sort of crime like bombing a subway or a building, stabbing multiple people, etc. Whatever the implement, the nuts are out there and they will get something to complete their mission.

The shooter was obviously the scum of the earth. It is possible, however, that the idiot didn't even care whether or not his victims were Muslim. Most likely he only cared that his victims happened to be minorities (whether or not they were Muslim). I think that this nutcase snapped after he recently broke up with his girlfriend.

In any case, it would have been better for humanity if he had either hung himself, shot himself or took a permanent dive into Lake Michigan rather than take down innocent folks along with himself.

Tighter restrictions on gun ownership and more security at places who sell guns would be nice, just a couple weeks ago a gander mountain about 5 miles from my house just got robbed, 30 handguns stolen...

Shooter was a skinhead with ties to neo-nazi groups.

Another nut who snapped. The acts encourage other nuts, like school shootings in the 90s.
