So when we (the US & Allies) drop bombs on innocent people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc. it's ideology as well right? Kek.
I don't see what's so hard to understand about terror attacks. It's almost always the same; young adult male feels disenfranchised by his country due to excess amounts of predjudice and hate towards his cultural group and is treated constantly like an outside. Meanwhile he sees his origin country getting bombed every day and crazies like trump rising to power. Easy to see how someone coming from that background could despair and go crazy.
I don't think you understand just how strict gun regulations are in liberal states like New York, California or Illinois. I'm not trying to make this a partisan issue but it is honestly almost impossible to buy guns in these states, particularly California.
I think you are being overly pessimistic here. Americans do get horrified when stuff like this happens but they react in different ways based largely on their political and religious beliefs. This issue will trigger a discussion of both gun control and the place of Muslims in America.
The honest best chance I think to preventing things like this is to have more armed guards in public places or allow people with CCW to carry in public areas.
Man, I really don't want to bash the US in this thread, but you guys are making it too fucking easy not to do it. Banning alcohol and banning guns is not only totally not the same, banning alcohol like that is also one of the most stupid political moves in the history of politics. Banning guns, however, is done in many countries of the world. And you don't want to do it, fair enough. But don't cry about mass shootings. This is by design, the US population is assisting in this. You're all just watching and doing nothing.

You a member of the KKK? Cause you sound like an extremist who thinks their sad little hold-out of a bygone, bigoted era is much more powerful and relevant than it really is. Waco might happen again, but 1776? Please, you're a pathetically small minority that is only getting smaller.
How about give detailed instructions on how exactly a country that has more guns then citizens should go about doing this? 50 people dying in the fairly religious south isn't going to spark a lot of serious discussion about banning guns
The first step is clearly that 200 something year old document that says something like "right to bear arms"...after that then what? do people who own guns (legally) just get thrown in jail if they don't turn in their weapons? don't enough people bitch about the prison system in the US already? they have these weapon turn in things in Orlando once in a while, last time you know how many weapons people turned in? 1 BB gun...
The Cartel would probably like a weapons ban here...then in a decade everyone will be saying "if we legalize guns, the cartels will be out of business"
Edit, 50 potential gay* people dying in the south

I would rather not risk it. As in, I don't think all/the majority of mass murders can be stopped simply by doing mental health checks. I think it's risky to think that these checks would be the simple solution to this problem.
Maybe it would be helpful to rephrase. Maybe no one could be sane at the time of shooting, but a sane person can go insane at any time. I think that might encapsulate what you're talking about while refraining from inferring that mental health checks would be the silver bullet, so to speak.
I think you will find it will be a combination of "motivation" and "ability to walk down the road and instantly buy an assault rifle" that will be the key. Both equally important, in my opinion.
Say what you like about the rights of Americans to buy and carry handguns, there surely CANNOT be a defence for being able to buy the sort of weapons that you would only expect to see in the hands of professional soldiers in war-zones.
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

and i say suspicious because the indian that attacked apparently picked that bar because the gay thing went against its religion.... if thats the case, wtf was it doing in that place? security would have spotted it coming a mile away.
