“When the hell are they going to start banning bombs and garbage cans????”

Think about the reloading community, amateur rocket community, and amateur pyro people. New crackdowns will impact them.

Most people suffering from mental illness will never commit an act of violence.

NY Post is reporting that a Saudi National is being held as a suspect! If that's the case...We have a problem and his name is Obama who leads from behind and this is what we get, fear in the streets just like in Israel

I have become such a cynic that I have to wonder if this suspect is even real. If his name turns out to be Jim Bob or Jerry Wayne (or similar)... I trust no news any more.

Ah, this is Obama, your maximum eminence calling. OK, you may stand now. I have decided to issue orders to my feds to give whatever assistance they can. I have decided to come there if there is any political opportunity. Meanwhile, I am keep apprised here of what is happening by my staff, until 5PM at which time I go off the air. I am deeply saddened about this event but could be elated if the perpetrator is not from some protected group. I will decided when to issue a press release for maximum benefit to me. Meanwhile stay safe so you can contribute to my campaign funds.
