His farther said he wasnt religious and he cant see how religion had anything to do with it. Doesnt mean it had nothing to do with religion but when you have 35,000 killed, 100,000 wounded and 150,000 shootings per year even if religion had something to do with this one incident thats really not the larger issue here.
Just to pre-emp ... 1. It is their constitutional right. 2. The criminals would ignore gun laws. 3. They have very good gun control regulations now. 4. It's humans that kill, not guns. 5. More chance of Trump getting a bullet. 6. It wouldn't work. 7. Europe has more violent crime. Did I miss any?
Already the point has been made by some that if only one homosexual in that Gay Club was a concealed carry then only one *** would have died. I despair for the human race, I really do. RIP to all victims. You're here, you're queer. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Its the largest one in modern history. It would depend on how you wanted to define it. Are you talking a single shooter, are you including acts committed by people who were not soldiers but in a time of war, are you talking massacres of Native Americans, towns killing hundred of African Americans etc. Things like the Lawrence Massacre, or the Colfax Massacre killed hundreds of people in a few hours. In 1921 upwards of 300 African Americans were killed in Tulsa by a combination of hangings and shootings over the course of a day. Its all how you want to define it.
It's the worst mass shooting in U.S history, overtaking the Virginia Tech shooting back in 2007 (which had 33 deaths).
8. If more people conceal carried then situations like this would quickly be dealt with, with minimum casualties.
Its the worst in modern history. By saying worst in US history you are discounting the deaths of hundreds and hundreds of people who were killed in single incidents just because they are not White. Our news is even specifying that its the worst in modern history.
They are saying he called up the police while it was happening and pledged allegiance to ISIS also the FBI had investigated him.
I read that it was hours before the police entered the club. I suppose there was a risk a policeman might get shot.
Looks like Police in LA might have stopped another mass shooting that was going to target a Gay Pride parade in LA. Man was arrested who drove their from Indiana with assault rifles and possibly explosives. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-gay-pride-la-weapons-20160612-snap-story.html
