Some guy set a building on fire with gasoline and a lighter. It was a company that did animations. No motive reported yet. Wonder if they will follow the example of New Zealand and ban gasoline.
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Carrying a gun is a right, not a crime.

Gun control is racist.

This USA Today editorial highlights the agenda driven coverage. The Kyoto killings (34 dead, over 30 injured) are largely forgotten and didn't get much coverage while the New Zealand Christchurch massacre received wall to wall coverage.

He also goes on to point out that nobody remembers the jealous boyfriend arson job at Happyland Nightclub in NY City that killed 87.

An arson job in Las Vegas killed 12 and nobody would remember it however 12 victims in an Colorado theater is imprinted from intense initial coverage and ongoing rememberances.

The author points out that 22% of mass killings (4 or more dead) involve methods other than firearms but nobody knows this.

The other significant part of this article is that the author is an academic but NOT John Lott and it was not Fox News.
