The act of terrorism is a deliberate (surprise) violent attack against civilians in the hope of gaining political or religious objectives. That's different than a mass murdering of civilians for some deranged pleasure. America has far more mass murders by home-grown White Guys than Terrorist attacks by Brown Guys, however our leadership response, which is tempered by NRA money is imbalanced.
I will not insult you readers by re-visiting killing fields for the purpose of differentiating between mass murders vs. terrorism. Let it suffice to state we have seemingly categorized this madness already. If a Black guy kills, he's a worthless thug that should be executed. If a Muslim kills, he's a radical Jihadist who should be executed quickly and have his countrymen banned from the United States. If the killer is Hispanic then we need to execute him, then round up everybody who looks like him and deport them and build that Wall immediately. However, if the mass killer is an American born 'White Dude,' we need not waste time talking gun-control but write it off as a mental health problem, send out prayers and condolences and turn the page. I've said it before, we are a sick nation that does nothing when 20- six year old school children are murdered at their classroom desks and no attempt is forthcoming to control the escalating number of 300-plus million guns in our country.
The fact is>>the State of Texas has more guns than the entire country of Japan. It's safe to say, America is fast producing a growing number of imbeciles and making it easier for them to purchase guns.
A couple of weeks ago, a Muslim 'terrorist' rented a truck and ran over innocent civilians killing eight. President Trump called for "extreme vetting" of Muslims. A few days later, an Air Force veteran used an automatic weapon and murdered 26-people sitting in Church pews worshiping. After the church mass murders, President Trump failed as he did after other mass murders by Americans to call for "extreme gun control." Draw your own conclusions about our President.
