This is another glaring example of how the MSM is in the business of manipulation.

That was on the news for a minute last week, forget if it were Fox local or CBS world propaganda, I was in Milwaukee at the time. It was pushed that the company employed mostly women and the guy did not like that so that is why he set the place on fire.

That's absolutely not the reason. The attacker allegedly claimed the company plagiarized something from him.

This event has been covered in the "Alternate Media" thread, for those wanting more information, from a non "2A" perspective.

Arguably, for those that have accurate information of the event, a gun would have been less effective. This man blocked exits and routes, and sprayed flammable liquid on people while lighting the place on fire.

If a gun had been used this would have been front page and lead in nightly News with talking heads, etc. Yes this was covered by alt media

3 people shot dead in France, illegal full-auto AK-47 used.

Any report of that in US media?

Investigators said Kalashnikov assault rifles - which are easily available on the black market in nearby cities such as Marseille - had been used by the criminals.

Actually I don't think it would made the front page.
Japan is very anti-gun, some of the strictest laws in the world.
When criminals use illegal guns they tend not to report it as much.
You can't claim that the solution would be to ban the guns when it's already the case and it doesn't work.

Also an extremely different society. They don't tend to focus on killers like the US does. US fawns over motive and details, barely touches on the victims.

Just in from MSM...

...fully automatic gun with unlimited clip kills 33 in Japan. More details will follow when MSM figures out why it was Trump's fault.
