your talking in circles – make all guns legal and then no laws are broken – it seems as if that’s your desire. The problem is that this terrorist had access to weapons that he shouldn’t have had. Just so some 2nd amendment mis-understanders can fantasize about getting into a fire fight.
You can take his gun when you pry it from his cold dead fingers, after he goes on a shooting spree, killing as many as possible with the most deadly weapon on the market. No reload with big clips and cheap ammo. Get the gun as quickly as possible, no waiting, and don’t worry about background checks, they aren’t really being done anyway. So now that you let him massacre in the streets and had to have SWAT take him out, you can pry the gun out of his hands. Just in time for the next mass shooting.
“Could you please quote the NRA with a link?”Are you seriously going to pretend the NRA doesn’t oppose any kind of meaningful restrictions on assault rifles?
“No terrorist acts alone. This one was egged on by an Iranian cleric who now sits in Orlando laughing his ass off.”Farrokh Sekaleshfar was near Orlando in March for one lecture at a Shiite Mosque. Since he’s Shiite & Mateen was Sunni, only someone who is ignorant of Islamic culture would believe Mateen was aware of him. Add the fact that Mateen lived in Port St. Lucie, 125 miles away. Mateen’s homophobia goes way before March & had zilch to do with Sekaleshfar. The story is being peddled by an anti-Islamic group.Ted Cruz associates with religious leaders who call for execution of homosexuals. Can we lock him up?
The toon is a perfect summation of 99% of these cases. GO NRA!
Interestng the news is avoiding like the plague the fact an armed guard was on site, returned fire and called for backup, but did NOT stop the shooter from killing more people.
NRA will definitely drop a brick when this news makes as much press as their absurd “good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy”" rhetoric.
You have absolutely no understanding of Islam.You sound like one of those self righteous right wingers who find fault with everyone who is different than they are.
If he hadn’t had the gun, he wouldn’t have been able to kill this many people in such a short time. It doesn’t matter if he is Muslim or any other religion, it doesn’t matter if he is mentally ill, it doesn’t matter where he came from and it doesn’t matter what “made” him do it. His motives don’t matter….he was able to kill 49 people in a matter of minutes because he had a high-powered weapon of mass destruction. And if Americans had any brains, he wouldn’t be able to do this.

Looks like he was run over by a steamroller.

I remember reading “Future Shock” — the part about snipers killing random people — and thinking it would never happen … we’re too civilzed.

Any moron who wants to commit mass murder can pick up an assault rifle thanks to the GOP and NRA.

You should do one like this one that more closely reflects reality, where the shooter is a Muslim, as in Orlando San Bernardino, et al.
