Discussion: Official: Orlando Shooter Legally Purchased Guns This Week

See, the NRA is right! No reason to ban weapons, since law enforcement can easily weed out the “problem” purchasers.

Trump says he wants the RNC to be a real spectacle this year.

If we can rush all those autopsies, maybe instead of addressing one empty chair they can address 50 full caskets?

The sign can say: NRA - You Built These!

Of course he did. And had he not died he would probably have been able to mount some bastardized stand your ground defense. Thanks NRA!

He must have been one of those “good guys with a gun,” since he purchased them legally. Thank goodness he wasn’t a bad guy with a gun.

Is that a well-regulated militia in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Doing some surfing and found this. The diversity of his critics is stunning, giving me hope that sanity will prevail

The NRA and its supporters cannot even be moved to do the right thing to honor the kindergartners of Newtown or African American church goers in Charleston. What chance is there they will give a goddamn about gay men in a bar? The reason for outrage will not be the ease in which the murderer purchased weapons that serve no purpose except for mass killing, but that he was MUSLIM. Expect Trump to exploit this tragedy to bolster his campaign now.

I think the NRA is right, the only way to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun. Wait… oh I guess this homophobe was stopping “bad people” but they didn’t have any guns. Hmmm… I seem to have lost track of the logic in allowing people to purchase military weapons.

If he hadn’t been a wannabe mass murderer, and if someone ELSE had attempted mass murder, he could have been there and ready to stop them.

Duh.

Bitter homophobe + being mad about 2 guys kissing + no gun = some nasty facebook comments

Bitter homophobe + being mad about 2 guys kissing + AR-15 assault rifle = 50 people dead, 53 wounded

It wouldn’t matter. You can thank the NRA for making sure that merely being on a Terror watch list or no-fly list doesn’t prevent you from buying guns.

Seriously.

“Mateen purchased a handgun and a “long gun,” the ATF official said.”

Screw that. They wanted to market them as assault rifles, then call them what they are. Cleaning it up after the fact by calling them long guns is merely water carrying for the NRA.
