Seun-hoi Cho, Eric Harris and all others you mentioned did not have any social support. They were individuals who acted on their own. Did you see expressions of mass support of their acts in varied countries ? I guess not. Now contrast this with support killers at Charlie Hebdo got worldwide. I hope you see where i am getting with this.

As before, I agree with you on that. But how is that relevant to the question of whom a gun shop owner in the US should sell his wares to?

Empirically, what is more probable - that the customer could be an ISIS operative or some other kind of islamic terrorist, or that the customer is a deranged non-muslim American psycho?

How many times in American history have islamic terrorists purchased guns legally in America to commit acts of terror? In fact, I can only think of two incidents of gun violence in this country by islamists - one was Nidal Malik Hassan, and one was Mohammad Abdulazeez just a few days ago. (The former had access to guns because he was in the army.) Compared to that, how many times have non muslims committed acts of random gun violence?

Now consider this point - owning a firearm is a constitutional right of every American citizen. It is a fundamental right, just as the right to equality, right to constitutional remedies etc are fundamental rights of Indian citizens. So is it ethical or legal to deprive anybody of that constitutionally guaranteed right, on the basis of his or her religion?

It is true that islamic terrorists have social support in many parts of the world - the killers of the journalists at Charlie Hebdo is one example you gave. Heck, OBL himself has worshipers in many places. But does that mean that a muslim customer in a gun shop in the USA will have social support in the USA if he does a mass shooting with that?

ISIS which kills in the name of islam is not a bunch of disturbed youngsters. Neither the shooters at Charlie were disturbed. They were well organised intelligent men who knew what they were doing. There is a difference between the two.

Yes, agreed again. But I was not referring to ISIS or the murderers in Paris when I mentioned "disturbed youngsters", was I? I was talking about the people who have actually used legally purchased guns in the US and perpetrated massacres using them.

An ISIS operative or most islamic terrorists would not need to walk into an American store and buy firearms, they would have access to guns through illegitimate channels. The people who buy registered and traceable firearms are the ones least likely to commit crimes with them.

As a popular American saying goes, "If you outlaw the ownership of guns, only outlaws will have guns."

Because banning a black from siting in front of a bus is NOT the same as selling a gun to a possible nut job. The former is racism, latter is possible good sense. Even your government is doing pretty much the same thing in uighur (I Support it). Better nip it in the bud.

This guy can't be this stupid.

This idiot injecting his Indian understanding into American Jurisprudence.
