Orlando Nightclub Shooting Worst Mass Shooting In US History

The President is more upset that people use the term "radical islam" than he is about the lives lost. What the hell is wrong with him?

Agreed. Though to some degree, it depends on the size of the rock.
In my great state of Indiana, one can legally drink in a bar while carrying a gun. In fact, about 5 years ago, I arrived my favorite Colts bar prior to a Sunday game, and patted a friends back as I could tell that he had a hidden holster. Since it was 30 minutes until game time, only 10 or so folks were sitting at the bar. The first guy pulls his gun and puts it on the bar, then the second, third, forth, fifth and sixth.

I've never seen a fight in this bar..................ever. I've certainly never viewed anyone pulling a gun in anger.

Once again, imagine if there were 10 lawful citizens carrying a firearm in that club that night. 45 or so more folks would be alive today.

Your kidding right or do you really believe it is legal to have a concealed carry permit that allows firearms where alcohol is sold? Most states I know of don't allow it. Imagine another idiot with a gun.


My way saves 45 lives, and Forkie's way kills 45 more.........................and somehow he believes his way is giving a shit about lives.

Because all the good guys wear white hats, and the bad guy always wears black? Yeah, having a hundred or so panicked amateurs packing heat would have worked out so well.

And in fact there WAS a fully trained uniformed off duty cop at the location, but in a crowded dark club he was constrained in firing his weapon for fear of hitting innocents. Unlike the shooter who
didn't give a shit about human life. Unlike the NRA which doesn't give a shit about human life.
And unlike you.



That was good..................almost causing me to spit my coffee onto my computer screen.

Never seeing a fight is not contingent on guns being present in a bar nor for that matter does it matter if it was legal or not to some as they will carry them anyway. Maybe the bar is in an area where it would not matter if they had guns. In either case I think the norm is that guns are not allowed in places serving alcohol. Alcohol and firearms don't mix in my book. If your buddy squeezes off a round during a melee and an innocent bystander gets killed they are just as liable in my book as the original instigator or is that just collateral damage in Indiana?
Even the head of the NRA doesn't think guns and drinking are a good idea.
The real issue is not gun control but the elimination of isis and islamic terrorism in the US, which obama has little interest in doing or acknowledging.
The govt continues to pretend radical islam doesn't exist as they deleted the words from the islamic murderer's transcripts.

I guess they figure if they don't say it, nobody will bother us. Hasn't worked yet
