But Russia has no pesky 2nd Ammendment and strict gun control laws. I thought those were supposed to stop these things from happening.
Quit it with the guns. This was Islam, killing five women leaving a church after Mass.
This is not the time to go into gun rights - which are actually pretty good in Russia - but to discuss the real causes of these attacks: Islamists and nutcases. And sometimes the two are indistinguiable, but they need to be controlled.
