Are you insinuating that having illegal shit happen on a black market is an overall negative? Because I doubt you know what you are talking about. I seriously question how getting a gun on a black market for the price of low to mid tier cars is worse than handing them out like candy in your supermarkets.
There is nothing in my post that suggests that I've attempted to weigh the total costs and benefits of gun laws. All I've said there is that there are examples of bans that have net negatives and that this must be considered prior to passing any given ban. This shouldn't be a particularly controversial position.
Sure. Politicans always try to go the easy way..more strict gun laws even when the gun was illegal acquired and banning violent video games and movies. While they ignore the core problem of almost all "Amok" cases - school bullying and mental health problems of young males.
Maybe our "german low violence"- censored ego shooters cause them to shoot up people.. I mean look at this Counter Strike Source low violence version.. the game shows you that you can shoot people without consequences! They just lay down without any bloodshed .

The story so far, but things don't add up completely. I would assume that a target of bullies that want revenge would target the bullies (at school) - or at least the school that allowed it to happen.
This one: read a book about why school shooting happens (assumedly because of bullying), visited previous school-siting-sites, and then attacked unknown people at a McDonalds - after planning the attack for months (or even a year).
None of them are even comparable or a tiny fraction of the amount of attacks committed by muslims in the name of religion. And IRA had nothing to do with religion.

Difference being that these were hundreds of years ago. You see, some parts of the world mostly evolved, others didn't.

I find it funny that GERMAN media renames a guy called "Ali Dawood S." to "David S.". I guess its time to change Adolf Hitlers name.... how about "Ali Hitler"?
Islam was a refuge for scholars and a bright spot in the world during the Crusades. For hundreds of years, Islamic empires were places of learning, pluralistic with religions, and allowed their people to rule themselves. Turkey was having secular, democratic revolts in the early 20th century. Hell, during the Crusades and the Inquisition, Muslims and Jews were allied together. It's in the past 100 years that Islam has become prone to very violent, very radicalized sects.
Wonder what's happened in the past 100 years?
Past 100 years? The islamic world stopped developing in the 13th century (and it wasn't a haven, any scholar not muslim - like zoroastrians - were treated like a subhumans, even if they didn't outright kill them). It's not the past hundred years. Turkey was developing precisely because they moved away from the shit they were stuck in, and now the people there want to move back, which is insane.
Saying that it once had a golden age is like excusing the middle ages with the greece scientific and cultural learnings (basically the birthplace of science and philosophy).
