Boulder Shooting

“The 21-year-old suspect in this week’s Colorado mass shooting will make his first court appearance on Thursday, three days after authorities say he opened fire at a supermarket and killed 10 people, including a policeman. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa faces 10 counts of murder and an attempted murder charge stemming from the rampage on Monday.” (Reuters)

The right opposes additional gun control laws, arguing that they would not prevent most mass shootings, and criticizes those in the media who rushed to blame the shooting on white supremacy.

The left supports additional gun control laws, arguing that they are widely supported and would reduce gun homicides.
