Well, at least one guy was fully armed...
Yeah, shootings happens in countries with very strict ***-control laws. The thing is what extremely rarely happens in these countries happens quite often in the US...
Last time I heard about a mass shooting in the US was about 3 monthes agos (Oikos shooting).
Tell me about one ***-control country in wich 2 mass shootings can happen within les than 6 monthes (don't tell me about Merah : 2 shootings but twice the same guy. Counts for one) and I may agree guns aren't the problem.
