50 Dead in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

**Roberta75** · 06-12-2016, 12:42 PM

When will it end? We need strict gun control NOW.

Praying to God that politicians see sense and pass laws for stricter gun control everywhere. May God comfort all of those affected by the senseless mass murder in Orlando Florida. May those who were killed be in Heaven with the almighty.

In an article the gunman's father said his son had "anti-gay" tendencies. So this could be
a hate crime. What the hell? What did these people do to him?
SMH...........

I found it very odd when I read a report that the Afghanistan leader had sent his condolences. That seemed very odd to me. Why would he be so concerned about this and not about others.....now I read about the father and it all becomes very clear.

So where did those anti gay tendencies come from.....nobody is born with them, they are acquired....and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

**moe** · 06-12-2016, 03:56 PM

It just came out: gunman pledged allegiance to Islamic State.

How utterly sad........

Trump will now double down on his racist hate and gain another million votes or so. Also, the official Republican response will be that if everyone had a gun, this could have been prevented.

This sums it up real clear to me.

**theboyfromxtown** · 06-13-2016, 04:18 AM

News reports [[particularly from the US) suggest that the bad feeling against the Muslim community is more apparent in Europe than in the USA because Muslims have integrated there.

Is that true?

Clearly the sheer numbers of Muslims here in Europe mean that they can colonise and promote their aims much better than in America.

I'm pretty sure that if any mass shooting had ever been thwarted by someone else with a gun just happening to be there in the right place to take out out the perpetrator, we would have heard about it by now. The use of guns is so widespread that if that were going to happen, it would have happened already.

**soulster** · 06-12-2016, 05:41 PM

The NRA has these politicians in their jock strap. There will never be new gun control laws as long as the NRA has power.

**Roberta75** · 06-12-2016, 06:14 PM

He was on a FBI watchlist and had been interviewed by the FBI and yet he managed to by all of the bullets and guns legally and they keep telling us we dont need gun control? How many more killings before we stand up to the NRA and put thouggh strict gun laws.

This was a case of ignorance blurring the perspective of a zealot. If it wasn't a gay club, he would have gone to a city zoo or other public space to do it. This asshole bought into the current "conservative" vitriol being communicated about LGBT people and decided he'd be a better martyr if he took a bunch of them out.

Already, they are trying to minimize the anti-gay aspect of it in favor of framing it solely as a terrorist act. The president had it right by calling it both. Others chose to politicize it and take advantage of it moments after hearing about it. Trump already changed the focus of his "major speech" from attacking the Clintons to addressing terrorism. SMH. Small men like him precipitate it.

I wish President Obama could have another term in office. Hes real calm and strong and reasuring and remains real Presidental and human during difficult times unlike the race bating and fear mongering and disgusting and ill informned RepublicanPresidental candidate. God help us all if Trump wins in November.

Of course they are! It's because an awful lot of people in this country don't like LGBT, and some, like your Phil Robertson, liken LGBT to those who practice beastiality and prey on children. A lot of conservatives and religious types, and Trump supporters, share the shooter's hatred. That's why they don't like to talk about whom was targeted.

Oh, BTW, this was not the worst mass killing in U.S. history. The worst one was in 1921, in the Greenwood district in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where about 300 Black people were murdered in a massecre. No one in the media is saying that because it isn't really taught in the schools.

I'm pretty sure they meant it was the worst by one person. Otherwise, 9/11 would easily be the worst. By the way, why don't schools teach about Tulsa or Rosewood? Or other massacres of Black, Irish, Chinese, and Native Americans that occurred throughout our nation's history? Don't they want us to know? As it is, if you want to get a complete history of race in America, you have to find out about it by yourself.

I hope so, but his supporters have a blind spot when he speaks. They somehow overlook all of his flip-flops and mis-statements.

This morning he said that Clinton had a problem with calling it "radical Islam", wne just an hour earlier, she said that she had no problem calling it just that. The reporter kept asking his like three times about this fact, and he just kept rambling.

Hopefully, at some point, he will realize that actually running for president is no fun if you have to watch what you say, and will withdraw at the last second. We can dream, can't we?

And, of course, Trump will double-down on his birther rhetoric that Obama secretly cheers on the radical Islamists, and 75% of republicans will agree with him.

I dont believe that 75% will agree with Trump. 49% maybe but not 75% imo and the 49% are wromng imo.

I made a slight mistake. I meant of Trump supporters. According to the recent stats, the number of Trump supporters who think Obama is a Muslim is around 75% from the last stat I saw. That number is rising.

On the other hand, according to new polling, Trump is losing support among White voters, including white men.
