#1 Suspected driver pulls what looks like a pistol. He was subsequently arrested without gunfire. No names have been released....

#7 No. We do not need to ban vans. We need to ban the kind of people who use them as weapons of mass destruction and I think we all have a pretty good idea who those people are. Banish them from our country and they can rent all the vans they want and do whatever they want with them in their countries of origin.
