Awful.

Man firing, presumably an assault rifle, from a high floor window of the Mandalay Bay hotel, towards a concert taking place across the street

You can't call it terrorism without actually knowing his motives.  Terrorism:  "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

Yet, the guy in Edmonton was a terrorist just because he was Somalian & the killer in Vegas was white? Your analogy makes no sense. Fifty nine dead & over 600 hundred injured says otherwise.

Vocal minority?  Trust me, it is not a 'minority' of people who want to keep their guns in the U.S. 

America is the most free country in existence and there's a reason.......an armed populace. 

Do present your research/sources showing actual evidence of this.

How the hell does an armed populace make US citizens more free than citizens of other developed first world countries on this planet?

Id like to see your evidence to back this up.  Of the polls I've seen, it absolutely is a minority.  Your last sentence makes little sense.  Canada is pretty "free"...no armed populace.

To be fair, didnt the Edmonton guy have an ISIS flag?  If Im not confusing that with someone else...that immediately raises the spectre of terrorism as a motivation.

People argued the semantics of terrorism when it concerns Las Vegas.  But using the definition of a political motivation, we dont know...because we dont know his motivations yet.  And if you ask 1000 random people to describe terrorism, they would subscribe that label to Islamic Extremism.  Its become the norm to use that description there, rightly or wrongly.

The guy in Edmonton did have an ISIS flag and was a refugee.   He also had a checkered history and was suppose to be booted out of the States a few years back,  they downplayed it all to prevent mass panic.

Not panic. More like anger.

My guess he does it to get a rise out of people to create the opportunity to call some one a snowflake, libtard, etc if you disagree.
