Orlando mass shooting

[k0llectable5]

Does anyone have any information on this? The biggest mass shooting in America's history (apparently) I'm surprised haven't seen more talk on this...

by a person who supposedly claimed affiliation with ISIS and the Boston bombers

I thought it had become clear that he didn't really have those affiliations.  Yes, he was Muslim but not connected with IS.

Makes you wonder how he managed to walk in with an AR15

It's not a small piece of weaponry

i am not condoning this action by a very disturbed individual but we need to remember "Guns dont kill......people kill"

[lurker172602]

That's true basal, but it's a hell of a lot easier to kill a hell of a lot more people if you've got a hell of a lot of guns.

It's almost unbeliveable.

ok, so this is turning into a math exercise.

how many people (not involved in a war) would die from gun shot wounds if nobody outside the military had guns?

and no, military people cant take their guns home on weekends to polish. they just have to find some other item to enjoy rubbing.

It wasn't an AR-15, it was a Sig Sauer MCX, and had a folding stock........

While I have no problem with civilian ownership of firearms ( I have several),  I firmly believe there is no place in these United States for semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines.

This is an exercise in futility.......those on the shadowy side of the law aren't going to turn in their weapons.........and remember, folks have been killing each other with whatever was handy for millenia......

It's a gun designed to kill people and it should never be available to a civilian and the US mentallity of

"needing" these types of guns as protection is absolutily ludicrous,(whilst the US government allows these you

will continue to have mass shooting),

Somewhere along the track there will be a possible mass shooting event that will dwarf all others if there is

ever a targetted terorist attack involving these type of wearons.,

While I have no problem with civilian ownership of firearms ( I have several),  I firmly believe there is no place in these United States for semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines.

I used to own a 22 repeater that I used for shooting rabbits and foxes as did my brothers,(we lost all the guns

due to the law changes and never worried about it).
