Is it that day of the week?

 

[Snake Plissken]

I wish more people had more concealed carry permits, they could of at least fired back.

Horrible. Too much hate in this world.

 

[darthkush]

Horrifying. I feel bad for all the people and families involved. What I hope DOESN'T happen is it turns into a bad political debate because so many of the victims were gay. It happening at an gay nightclub could turn this into a debate that shouldn't be one. The bottomline: Innocent people were killed. It doesn't matter what kind of people they were. I hope our country recognizes that.

I certainly see this turning into more anti-gun fodder.

 

[The Ween]

Unfortunately, we will see more and more of this. I honestly don't believe this was totally an anti-gay act.

Is it that day of the week?

Yup. Most common thing around here.

 

[The Ween]

Yup. Most common thing around here.

In the world.

In the world.

It's not universally common at all. Mass shootings in the US are routine in a way that is pretty unique.

Just saw the murderer that did it. The politicians will treat it with kid gloves and be PC up the ass and not calling it what it is. Terrorism.

If this was the 1940s and German immigrants were doing this, I'm sure the country's response would be vastly different.

This is terrorism and that's what I was talking about.

This.

I am still can't get over Christina Grimme shooting and now this?

 

[Lejuan]

Alleged terrorism. Early reports indicate that the shooter is Muslim and his father emigrated from Afghanistan. These two attributes don't make the shooter a terrorist.

True, and the gun laws have nothing to do with it....

No but his ISIS allegiance postings do, he was already known to the Feds and unfortunately nothing was done about it.

America's relationship with guns... it's complicated.

That's certainly starting to sound familiar then...

While this is indeed a tragedy just as many people died on the road yesterday. I would like to see what would happen if the media didn't give these acts so much attention. That is where i would start.
