Aside from the fact this is the Politics and Other Controversies forum; and given that I'm a frequent poster in here and will offer an opinion down the road sometime, I'm going to refrain as this is just not the appropriate time to advantage the unparalleled inflicting of death and injury on so many families to further any political or controversial position.
My thoughts go to all those undergoing such a terrible tragedy and attempting to make some sense of it. So many families impacted is just heartbreaking.
But that's the problem, BruSan. It seems like it is NEVER the time to talk about the unparalleled gun violence in this country. It's "too soon" and then it's too late, because within a week or two there's another one. This how we get dissuaded from ever having a meaningful discussion about this issue.
There are several benefits to upgrading M4s to M4A1s. Compared to the M4 , the M4A1 has full auto capability, a consistent trigger pull, and a slightly heavier barrel. The heavier barrel is more durable and has greater capacity to maintain accuracy and zero while withstanding the heat produced by high volumes of fire. New and upgraded M4A1s will also receive ambidextrous fire control.
The variants will either have full auto or three burst. AR 15's have neither.

She is absolutely correct - there IS "something you can do about it". Call your CongressCritter and tell them you demand a Constitutional Amendment to make guns illegal. Start a petition is you want. Make it part of the Democratic Platform.
The FACT is that the US Constitution can be amended to remove the "right to bear arms".
So do it, if you can get support from your CongressCritters. Quit complaining and just do something.
It's not for no reason. ISIS will and does take responsibility for every incident it can, because it makes them see more influential, and because they are perfectly willing to hijack on everyone's fear in order to advance their political agenda.
My guess is that it is propaganda for third world countries where people will hear the headline of the ISIS claim. They want that audience to believe they have that reach.

But there have been things ISIS has specifically distanced itself from, not claimed. It's not that difficult to prove or disprove ISIS's claims in situations like this. If it turns out ISIS is just saying this and it's not true, which is what I suspect, then there is literally no point to them claiming anything and as an organization that wants to be taken seriously, they really don't do a very good job at being serious and making themselves remotely credible.
