Could you link to that passage? I'd like to read it.

If you insist.
Quran

Quran (7:80-84) - "...For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)"
Quran (7:81) - "Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you?"
Quran (26:165-166) - "Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing"
Quran (4:16) - "If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone"

Hadith and Sira

Abu Dawud (4462) - The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.".
Abu Dawud (4448) - "If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death."
Bukhari (72:774) - "The Prophet cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, 'Turn them out of your houses .' The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and 'Umar turned out such-and-such woman."
al-Tirmidhi, Sunan 1:152 - [Muhammad said] "Whoever is found conducting himself in the manner of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the receiver."

with the limited knowledge of this case, assuming the gun was legally purchased with a background check. What law do you propose that would allow someone that can legally buy a gun, that would also stop something like this from happening?
The only thing that *might* have prevented this would be a complete ban on semi-automatic rifles and high capacity magazines. Not just for the citizenry, but for military, ex-military, police and private security.

The shooter in this case had been trained as a security guard, had a license to operate as a security guard in Florida, and had a valid firearms license (unsure if CW or CC). He had passed whatever background checks already exist. Of course, it'll take more time to trace the sale of the guns involved and whether they were purchased legally/illegally, but he had everything one needed to purchase them legally.

Obama has warned repeatedly that while the Federal government can restrict potential ISIS sympathizers from getting on a plane, they have no power to prevent them from buying guns. However, I have no idea how such a law would actually work (has anyone seen a single proposal?)

The problem with the right/NRA is that they have done their damnedest to prevent any real debate on gun control from reaching the House/Senate floor. In my opinion, they need to stop with their bullshit conspiracy theories, stop driving up demand for guns after every mass shooting, and just trust the courts and Congress to do the right thing. The Second Amendment will never be amended and will never be repealed. They should let the debate happen and let this be decided one and for all.

I think the important thing is to look at these attitudes over time, in the 50's and 60's, we harassed gays through the legal system, and even declared it a psychological illness, apparently, Islam will take some time to come to where most in this country are now.

Heck the shooter was having "impure" thought about men and acted out, he was evidently married, BTW.

If you want to identify with the natives a bemoan the existence of the American nation then you are free to have such personal problems. But it's terrorists associating with the Middle East and groups such as ISIS that I care about. They are the ones actively killing Americans. And that extremism does not originate from our soil.

So right, Waco, OKC Bombing, and Malheur have nothing in common with Islamic terrorism in America.

Well the Texas Lt. Gov has taken this opportunity to show what a classy guy he is:
A man reaps what he sows.
So let's see...we have Republicans on record saying "you reap what you sow", we have Trump supporters pointing out that the shooter was a registered Democrat...but oh no the LIBERALS are sleazy evil bastards for politicizing this and calling for gun control!!

Can't we all just stop the BS for 3 days and mourn 50 people killed who were just trying to learn salsa dancing???

Why wouldn't we pray for them? That's ridiculous, they are still americans whether they drink, gamble, watch porn or whatever. A lot of our fellow americans are dead and had families, whether we agree/disagree with how they lived life doesn't matter. It's a tragedy, only immature people cannot show compassion to our fallen and their families.

You actually got close to just that in 2015. But then the NRA and its money and Republican votes (a few Democratic ones too)...

MSNBC - GOP blocks bill to stop terrorists from buying guns

Senate Republicans rejected a bill that aims to stop suspected terrorists from legally buying guns, on Thursday. The vote came a day after at least 14 people were killed during the San Bernardino massacre in California by two suspects, including a woman said to have pledged allegiance to ISIS.

Forty-five senators voted for the bill and 54 voted against it. One Democrat, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, and one Republican, Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, crossed party lines.

The measure would have denied people on the terrorist watch list the ability to buy guns.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who sponsored the legislation, argued that former President George W. Bush initially proposed the legislation in 2007, and the Obama administration also supports it.

“If you need proof that Congress is a hostage to the gun lobby, look no further than today’s vote blocking a bill to prevent known or suspected terrorists from buying guns and explosives,” she said. “Congress has been paralyzed by the gun lobby for years, while more and more Americans are killed in mass shootings. The carnage won’t stop until Congress finds the courage to stand up to the gun lobby and protect the nation.”

I don't know what it'd take for America to strengthen gun control. I like target shooting myself but I also like the Canadian restrictions on ownership; they're pretty involved, but far from impossible.

When our ties to the Middle East are severed, then this will be over.

That selfie screams douche more than it screams Isis.

I might contest that notion. You're just describing what he was like before he was recruited.

Yeah, pretty much because there is no judicial oversight over the watch list and it is as difficult as all fuck to get off of it.

But hey, violating constitutional rights is okay to the left, provided it suits the left.

Who gives a fuck about Canada. It's now legal to get action from pets in Canada. That says all you need to know about Canada.

You have A Republican on record quoting a bible verse "you reap what you sow". Which in a large part is true. Maybe you are reading into what he said with your own bias.

Was he a registered democrat? I don't know.

I do agree stop the BS.

And all of the opposing sides with their opposing agendas will make absolutely certain that the end result of another tragic gun related/Islamic related/terrorist related/blame the other guy related/anti-gay related/Dem against Repub related incident is that things will remain just as they are with no practical solution being advanced toward preventing another horrific shooting spree like the one being discussed in this thread.

Shootings like these will just keep occurring no matter what the motive simply for the fact that in our nation firearms are, by law and by tradition a consumer product that has more protections than an abused child or spouse or anyone else killed or maimed by this product.
