A very brutal act. This should be condemned up to possible extent. Humanity should be graced. All the religious groups should tolerate each other. The inner core of each religion preaches peace not the extinctions of opponents for its own existence.
very sad incident
It was a sad situation. I can feel it because one of my distant relative was killed in a massacre by shooting in two Ahmadya mosques in Lahore. My sympathies are with the Sikh community and relatives of those who lost life and those who got injured. Problem is not access to weapons, it is hate caused by the interest groups for their ulterior motives.
Usually these White Power people have very little education, and have served prison time.
Well said sir. I condemn this barbaric act of insanity that targeted innocent unarmed people in their place of worship. My thoughts are with people of the sikh community and pray to God for religious / ethnic tolerance and interfaith harmony.
Guns are American tradition, The people want it,, so,,,,,,
I just wonder why cant America adapt the same laws as Europeans and Canadians (Civilized nations) have, I am not talking about UAE /Saudis cuz its a muslim thing which Americans wont like it.
America has a very long way to improve when it comes to RACE religion,,
my heart goes out for the victims families.
Americans cling to the 2nd Amendment of the constitution – because no one anywhere can trust their government.
Americans are armed and dangerous, but of course Washington wants to take the guns away so only the police and criminals will own them. The Sikhs should carry pistols in their sashes instead of daggers because no one on this earth can afford to wait for the police to come and protect them.
Distraught minds commit dastardly acts.My sympathies go out to the sikh .community
Wisconsin has very lenient gun laws. Anyone can walk into a store and buy a gun. The gun shows are worst. This is a very sad act, and not the first time Sikhs have suffered in America because they uphold their cultural and religious values and symbols publicly. Hate crimes are also terrorism. Drone strikes anyone?
Right to use gun is for sports and self defense which is very different than such incident. No one has right to kill innocents of any race, religion or demographic origin. Its just act of one crazy minded person who brings image of racism to whole society. We condemn this act and have strong sympathies with the families who lost love ones and general sikh community.
No rights to kill innocents
No one wants to lose family and friends. We are born and we die. We do not have control over it.
Shooting innocent people because of their race…SHAME on those who have such a sick mentality !

every body got rights to use guns.
Even though I hate guns, I do try and respect others who say it is their right to be armed. But there is a boundary between the right to use guns and committing a massacre. You do not have a right to just kill people. I can't believe I am saying something that should be common sense.
