Reports of a "mass casualty" situation @ nightclub in Orlando shooting

[don ramon]

If you build a country on hate, genocide, slavery, bigotry, and with a moronic mentality. That same mentality will continue to show itself because it's imbedded within the nature of the beast.

This is very sad and unfortunate. My best friend is a lesbian, she's always at a gay club. She's in South Korea now but I had to give her a call anyway.

Everybody stay safe out here God willing.

yeah man. this is about the deadly mix of guns and hate. not about radical islam

 

Is this really the argument?
You don't think this shooter went out ready to die last night?
When a person goes over the edge they are not thinking about an escape plan. They just want to carry out their plan.
A club full of gun owners would have not deterred him.

he chose a gay club as the target 

people like to pick easy targets he didnt go light up a precinct 

this is like a whole lot of nothing

i think you're equating gay club with "easy target"

he could've shot up a supermarket and it would have been just an easy target as a gay club

basically anything becomes an "easy target" when you have an automatic weapon on you

 

[heliumclinton]

IMO I think this has everything to do with being a gay hate crime, and way less to do with his religion.

He targeted a gay club and it's messed up man. This is why it's upsetting when people say "why can't gay people just live their life? why do they fight so hard for equal laws?" They can't even be free and safe in a environment specifically for them.

Prayers to all lost, all fighting, and that whole community.

You sound like an absolute moron. Why in the world should regular *** citizens be able to purchase assault rifles?

What's an assault rifle? Is it the same as an assault knife or an assault handgun?

you know exactly what he means, what assault rifle means

 

[sfc415]

So do nothing? We have to start somewhere.

I didn't say to do nothing. I honestly don't know what can be done though. I just know banning them won't do a thing. Even if you ban them, there's far too many black market guns you can get if you put in the effort. I don't mix with that type of crowd anymore, but back in my teenage years some of my friends were able to buy guns off the street at the ages of 15-16 (thankfully it was only to show off, not to actually use).

The irony of you calling someone a moron. I highly doubt this shooter had an assault rifle and if he did, it is more likely than not illegally obtained. But I digress and shall defer with those who are going to stay quiet in this thread.

RIP to all the victims and condolences to their families.

Reports are saying he did have an assault weapon whether it was attainted legally has not come out yet but assault rifles can be obtained legally in this country so that is a possibility as well that can't be ruled out.

Jesus. He had an AR15 smart guy.

So you think son hit over 100 people with a handgun? How stupid are you guys today?

 

[dman14]

woah, woke up to this news
:x

condolences to the lost ones and their families

This.

This isn't about guns or religion, this is about America.

 

[ROYGBiV]

Don't think this was a hate crime per se. Just an easy target. Any club could be an easy target actually. So many people drinking and on drugs, you wouldn't know what was going on until it's too late.

 

[filthyjiujitsu]

For some tha claims to be progressive, you really sound like you drank the NRA cool-aid

If it not just a mental health issue, it is a gun culture issue. Other countries have much better gun cultures than America does.

-And if you're so concern with criminals getting guns, be supportive of regulations that attacking the black market. Don't just use that fact as a talking point against people that want gun regulations.

That's why federal action, what ever it maybe, is so important. It needs to wide ranging policies that apply everywhere, you can't just Southern states to go after the illegal flow of guns. Esepcially when the NRA lobbies for them not too.

Jesus. You got all that from 3 sentences?
Canada has more guns per capita. You're not gonna stop the black market. Never ever, no matter how hard you try. It's gonna get even more interesting as technology progresses. The ability to print 3D guns. uff.

Then either reports are just throwing words around for sensationalism or this guy spent major money legally/illegally and no law was gonna stop him from killing people with whatever mean necessary in his disgustingly evil disturbed mind.

 

[don ramon]

yeah access to assault weapons has nothing to do with it. that's what these "defenders of the constitution" want you to believe. stop shoving it down everyone's throat. most rational people see this for what it is

 

[timcity2000]

there's a cruel irony unfolding here too, in that gay men are banned from donating blood.

i can't imagine how helpless that community must feel right now.

 

[handullz]

Serious question:

What's the point of citizens being able to buy fully automatic weapons?

Can someone provide an instance where a regular person utilized a fully automatic weapon in its proper form?

 

[don ramon]

so this dude's dad's claim holds no weight?

so why not go to any club with all types of people?

Citizens can't buy fully automatic weapons. Correct me if I'm wrong.

There are more than 600 people in line waiting to donate blood for the victims of the #OrlandoShooting https://t.co/SJ2q4YVJTh

Jesus. He had an AR15 smart guy.

You're the one calling people morons and can't tell the difference between and assault rifle and an AR-15.

Banned:

Why did you quote that with this? If you identify as gay when filling out your information before donating blood they will turn you around, same with if you just got a tattoo

I'm sure most people on that line didn't check the "gay box" on the census just so they can help out

 

[mr jordan04]

50 people
Wow

 

[ROYGBiV]

so why not go to any club with all types of people?

I get what you're saying but maybe it was just a coincidence that it was a gay club? Regardless, the club really has nothing to do with the fact that these mass shootings stay happening.

 

[heliumclinton]

So this guy had a license to carry? He legally had these fire arms? :x wow
