^^^ Looks like you did understand it, i.e. the Jon Lovitz (pathological liar) "yeah, that's the ticket!" meme in answer to your post that quoted the killer's dad saying it had "nothing to do with religion."
So maybe not Islamic terrorism, but a horrific mass hate crime. The bottom line is that there is far too much hatred in this country currently. There is far too much intolerance for other people's opinions and lifestyles.
Ban all licensed firearms! Im sure the one used was registered If anyone else in that crowd had a gun maybe only 5-10 people die instead of 50. Keep voting against those gun laws though libs.
The fucker used a AR-15. What the fuck are you saying? NRA released a statement saying the AR15 is used for hunting and home defense. LMAO Home defense??? What the fuck, are we living in war torn Iraq, Somalia? Over 2.3 million civilians own this gun...for what?
not me, but the weapon is fine flat shooting gun for hunting the big spaces of the midwest. its the intent and target that makes a weapon an assault weapon. not the bells and whistles attached to it but atlest we have another tragedy for people to use as a platform for their agenda
No but give it a couple years. With the ways this country has been the previous 10-15 years it wont be surprising to me when this type of stuff becomes a weekly event. As for the gun "issue". Some people (like myself) are collectors and just like the way certain guns look and feel. I dont have an arsenal , but I enjoy shooting , safely at a range. Out of the 2.3 million that own that gun LEGALLY , about .0000000000000000000000001 percent actually use them in harmful ways. But in the end a gun is a gun. Im guessing the shooter died at the hands of a gun with lesser power and accuracy. One could've taken him out a lot sooner if a responsible gun owner was in that crowd. Thats all Im saying.
BREAKING NEWS: 50 MURDERED, 53 WOUNDED IN POSSIBLE ACT OF ISLAMIC TERROR IN ORLANDO GAY CLUB; GUNMAN KILLED BY COPS Shooter ID'd as Omar Mateen, 29, a US citizen with Afghan ties
Yeah a lawman must have killed him. I get it there are people who like collecting and want to use weapons truly for hunting but the laws have made it too easy for anyone to buy this gun if they are willing to spend $2000 in cash.
Well I would say the laws have made it too easy to let people in this country that hate America. A 29 year old legal US citizen shouldn't have these type of thoughts against "their" country. Unless he was just some insanely gay basher and this was a target against the gay community and nothing else. Something tells me its a mix of both though. Kill two birds with one store sort of massacre.
There's an unacceptable and dangerous level of religious/ racial/ sexual preference bigotry in this country. And there is no reason for a citizen to own an assault weapon that is capable of firing 100 round magazines in a matter of seconds. There Are reasons these mass killings are becoming more common and deadlier and it is the willingness of people act on theses hateful beliefs and the availability of these weapons. It's time to vilify the intolerance in this country ( not stoke it with talks of walls, deportations, and ridiculous religious doctrine against the LBGT community) and it's time to ban the production and sale of these weapons that serve no useful purpose other than to make gun manufacturers wealthy.
And how would that have stopped Aurora or Charleston or Virginia Tech or Sandy Hook? Hatred and bigotry breeds more hatred and bigotry and violence. The only thing all these mass killings have in common is that assault weapons were used by the killers.
Quite the opposite, there is too much political correctness. If the gov't didn't have its hands tied by social media and liberal bullshit, this fucker would have been deported or arrested. Allow a rabid dog to come into your yard and stay, don't be shocked when it bites someone.
Guns, NRA, blah blah blah... The guy was a security guard with a degree in criminal justice. He would have had a permit allowing him to buy those kinds of weapons regardless. Apparently, he was known to have "radical" views but the FBI failed to watch him closely enough to prevent this massacre. And of course, his father would say that this had nothing to do with religion. Did you really expect him or some imam to say otherwise? Now wait for Obama/Hillary/etc. to repeat pretty much the same thing - he did not represent Islam, etc. Rinse and repeat...
I agree. But how often does a mass shooting like the ones you named happen , and Charleston wasnt even that. Might as well throw in Columbine. But advanced security at those venues probably could've cut down on the number dead. What this country now faces is people who hate us living among us. Thats a lot different than some random nut who should be in a mental institution , instead got his hands on a weapon and killed innocent people. All of the shooters of those events were severely disturbed but outside of the Charleston shooter , none of them seemed to have any racial or political motives for their actions. Its obvious this Omar Marteen character had political , racial , religious and sexual preference motives for this attack.
I agree. Let's vilify intolerance. But what do you do when a big chunk of those we are being told to tolerate(Muslims) support throwing gays off roofs? Gets a little complicated America is about the freedom to have discussions on things like lgbt rights , walls,and guns. We don't need to create a false equivalence between people that are against gay rights/illegal immigration and people who kill others
Just awful. This world is a mess. 50 people dead, over 50 more injured. People will use this to talk terrorism, gun control, LBGT community, but the truth is people were killed and it's terrible.
