(33,345 posts)The tools are cheap, widely available, and require little skill to use.
The constant is the homicidal anger of a small segment of young men. We've had that through history, but not the means to amplify the carnage they want to create, nor the widespread encouragement they find on the internet.
Speculating, but it probably will turn out that this terrorist bought his gun recently, and may never have fired it previously. He'll have no criminal record.
Either we impose age limits for MSSAs (21, 30), long waiting times (6 months, a year), or mandatory Militia training (to sort out the maladjusted), or the carnage continues like this indefinitely.

The book calls Jesus the "true Prince of Evil" and says that the natural order is a world at war in which the strong must vanquish the weak and white men must rule over those of color.
