Can't blame this one on guns. It does appear that once again, someone who is mentally disturbed was determined to harm others. This proves that laws to not stop bad guys from harming good guys. No legislation is going to stop a bad guy. The only chance is to allow the good guys the chance to defend themselves.

My fear is that these terrorist attacks will become so commonplace that we as a society become numb and indifferent to these horrible events.
How often do we read about a person needing immediate help on the street and people just walk on past?

It appears the guy was anti Muslim and acted due to those thoughts but how was this terrorism? Murder/attempted murder yes but not terrorism.

How many more incidents like this will it take before they finally ban high capacity assault vans?
In Central Texas Hill Country, I see dead deer on the roadside daily and know for a fact .... No one NEEDS a high capacity assault van to kill a deer !!!

The London Metropolitan Police are treating the attack as a terror attack.

You joke, but I could see vehicle attacks like this used as one justification to ban non-self-driving vehicles in the future, once the technology matures.

An eye for an eye? That would make some type of sick sense.
