Yes, he was a registered Democrat. Honestly, that doesn't mean much, you don't have to pass a test or anything.
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.
Guess the liberals need to start arming themselves."This is the price we pay for freedom." Yes, that's what I was told.
i see there is now a #prayforpulse twitter tag
but i don't think they are gonna get very many people praying for what happens at a gay bar
When our ties to the Middle East are severed, then this will be over.
No, they will keep happening because criminals will be criminals. You cannot explain Paris by crying for gun bans.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 was 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.
Gun sales and CC permits to gays and lesbians nationwide are going to skyrocket after this.
I need to give my sister a handgun.
Gwendolyn Patton, First Speaker of the Pink Pistols, an international GLBT self-defense organization, warns people not to jump immediately to the assailants guns as the object of blame, but to concentrate instead on Mateens violent acts.
The Pink Pistols gives condolences to all family and friends of those killed and injured at Pulse, began Patton. This is exactly the kind of heinous act that justifies our existence. At such a time of tragedy, let us not reach for the low-hanging fruit of blaming the killers guns. Let us stay focused on the fact that someone hated gay people so much they were ready to kill or injure so many. A human being did this. The human beings tools are unimportant when compared to the bleakness of that persons soul. I say again, GUNS did not do this. A human being did this, a dead human being. Our job now is not to demonize the mans tools, but to condemn his acts and work to prevent such acts in the future.
Just wait till there's no oil left. It'll make what's happening in Europe look like trickle. Then the west is fucked.No, it wont.
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.
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.

No, it wont.
Guns are a huge part of the problem. This guy couldn't have done what he did without at least 1.
That's an interesting reference... Remind us again, who died at Malheur?

You clearly view it differently, but this country does not have to be an open door mat for Islamic terrorism. We are not mourning because this isn't over. We demand action.
First step is no more refugees.
You actually got close to just that in 2015. But then the NRA and its money and Republican votes (a few Democratic ones too)...

And arming America to the teeth will result in less bloodshed? It would provide some people in some situations the ability to counter violence, no question about that. But I question the wisdom of allowing every tom dick and harry and hillary to assemble an armory, for home, vehicle, or on their person. In fact I don't think anyone should be able to get their hands on a firearm without serious vetting and continuous control.Picture yourself in that nightclub. Do you want a solution on your hip, or do you want to be a helpless lamb to the slaughter? The feeling of fighting back, of defending one self, is the source of support for the 2nd amendment.
So, the only way to stop attacks like this is to keep weapons like this out of their hands.We argue about guns and Muslims, when the problem is insane ideas. Insane people whispering in the ear of the weak minded, people that follow without thought, people that are easily stirred to hatred. Those ideas and those people are the issue, and they've been enabled by instant worldwide communication. That's what I see as the problem, what I don't see is any way of stopping it.
Can't we all just stop the BS for 3 days and mourn 50 people killed who were just trying to learn salsa dancing???
Ahhh America. Where one nut job can do the horrific and people en mass fall all over themselves to lay blame at the feet of millions of others who had nothing to do with it.
No, they will keep happening because criminals will be criminals. You cannot explain Paris by crying for gun bans.
Muslims extremeists are 2,000 year old barbarians. Islam needs a reformation.
I don't know why so many people have demonized the NRA.
Millions of NRA members came up with $20 million to lobby for their cause, whereas Bloomberg by himself spent $50 million to lobby against them.
Just look at the politicians who took Bloomberg's bribes. . .er "donations" from his organization Mayors Against Illegal Guns
