Aurora movie shooter was inspired by a villain in Batman movies. Young, troubled men with guns find "inspiration".https://twitter.com/JosephKYoung/status/741993044635947008 …

ISIS carries out systematic terrorism in Muslim countries. Soccer stadiums in Iraq, tourist areas in Turkey. USA so far: "loon" lone wolves.
Not downplaying mass political violence. It's destroying the Middle East. But US has different problem; troubled people with access to guns.

The horror of #Pulse in light of this: More Americans killed by guns since 1968 then all our wars combined. https://twitter.com/Bill_Owen/status/741997443773005824 …

An ongoing American tragedy that we mostly only pay attention to when it kinda fits one narrative.https://twitter.com/AntonioFrench/status/741647472603189248 …

Same weapon in Newtown, Aurora, Umpqua, San Bernardino. What allows one person—one awful troubled person—to kill 50.https://twitter.com/Yamiche/status/742002745130012672 …
zeynep tufekci added,
.@jcrichman He's one person. Yes, a group that plans can find a way to kill many. Loon lone wolf not same; is driven by images, infamy, etc.
.@jcrichman I think both US style loon lone wolves and Paris-style planned terrorism are really hard to stop but for very different reasons.
