Can someone explain to me the difference between a replica and a real gun?

One fires bullets.

The other doesn't.

TBH it makes it more difficult to know who is serious and who isn't with the nonsense that you read in some of the other threads.

Replicas have the capability to fire bullets, though, but they are 1) very cumbersome and 2) quite dangerous, often misfiring and causing serious harm to the shooter.

According to ARD the interior minister of Hessen has stated that the shooter is dead.

There was no shooter.

A real gun can kill you.

I'd take a replica over a gun then, just fire out all the guns I want and use them. :pac:

Interior minister statement says a "gunman" has been shot dead.

He's been arrested

Well someone is right!

as a side note - why is there no German news channel for SKY or FTA on Astra?

Can anyone give a reliable source. Sky news are getting worse...

Man 'Opens Fire' In Germany Cinema Complex

German media reports suggest the man wore a mask and carried a gun and ammunition belt.

One magazine says that a man has been arrested.

[Deleted User]

Reuters are the same. They reported that he was arrested and then reporting that he was shot dead.

I guess we could just wait an hour and hear the proper story.

Reports that the attacker was shot dead are building momentum. The only consistent thing about this story is that noone was shot... except possibly the attacker himself.

Bacchus

Wonder could this have been a death by cop (suicide) attempt?

And no-one has linked it to the Brexit referendum yet. Conspiracy-heads are really letting the side down.

Ugh (I should stay off Twitter), another guy using this to somehow justify lax gun laws in the US.... cause Germany has strict gun laws and here we have a mass shooting on the news.... oh wait.

Clearly it would have been in the public interest if there were some properly armed people in the cinema to take down this madman and his replica gun before the cops got there with their tear gas assault.

Also, we should ban replica guns to remove this type of hysteria. If I see a man holding a gun, I want to know its real and that I'm justified in murdering him defending my rights

How are these kind of logical arguments so hard for people to understand :pac:

We have to wait until they plant the ISIS flag on him and pay someone to say he shouted allahu akbar before they shot him.

Harry Palmr

Sounds like most of the injuries are from the inhalation of tear gas.

Bacchus

Ah lovely, the world has been set right once more... so the attacker apparently recently converted to Islam. That explains it so.

Apparently shouting "Jesus is coming back," according to RT.

No one knows anything, but a news blackout is impossible these days.

Hopefully one day Simon McCoy will say "something has happened, we have no details so we'll not report anything further until facts are known for certain and now the weather"

That fact that noone was hurt (beyond the attacker himself) does make it interesting to watch the random hate that comes spewing out of Twitter from people who have zero facts and think the cinema must resemble a war zone now.

It's pretty disgraceful of the media to fall over each other trying to report how a gunman has injured 50 people before waiting for details as trivial as the fact that it was tear gas rather than another mass shooting. I swear most editors must get stiffies over death tolls these days.

Samuel Heid?

He's a comedian who routinely gets named as the gunman in all sorts of mass-media-dominating shootings. No idea why, could be a publicity thing he does by sending tips to news publications or something, idk

Moo Moo Land

The ghouls will be upset at this body count.

Newstalk News item says 50 Injured and the "shooter" Arrested.
Can someone now change the thread title please.

Editors and many many others with agendas against Islam. People literally making up stuff online, making it sound like a horrific attack happened and then slap on a #stopislam tag at the end. WTF?!

They do need to be stopped in fairness. Anything that perpetuates that message is useful
