I would have asked why a good guy with a gun didn't stop a bad guy with a gun

Take it up with his co-workers, his dad, the authorites, the people that worked at Pulse, and the guys that came forward as possible lovers. Not me.

It's been 16 months since the shooting. Ya'd think more info to back the ISIS claim would have come out by now.

Also all of those things can be true at once.

As a long time closeted and angry homosexual man with thoughts of killing blacks, jews, and gays, as verified by his co-workers, family, and social hook ups, I guess, in the final hours of my life, I can completely change the narrative to deflect my true motives. I mean, choosing to shoot up a gay bar that I secretly visted for pleasure on numerous occasions, and me trying to hide being queer would be too obvious, right.

So during my three hour standoff with the cops I'll hop on Facebook and find all of the most recent radical Islam stories and get a few talking points to feed 9-1-1 so that the narrative goes that way, instead of my sexual orientation.

In a weird way it reminds me of the convicted child molester and killer sitting on death row with no remorse at all. Then on his last day, he asks for a priest out of desperation to absolve all of his sins in an effort to get into heaven.

You mean other than the stuff that you mentioned?

This conversation is dumber than a bag of hammers. Life is not black and white Chula. ISIS wasn't his key motivation, but it did play a role in it.

Time to play guitar and watch a movie.

You didn't hear in that 5min video. The bearded good guy was going to get his gun. He kinda looks like Dan Blizaran.

Chules i agree with the sentiment

disagree with the way you present it

[Fluff]

So what do you guys think should be done about the guns then?

Leave at as it is as it's gone too far/too many guns/pointless?

Tighter controls/background checks before purchasing?

Ban them (I know it's not possible now)?

Granted I'm not American, but if I lived over there I'd want the authorities to clamp down hard on firearms now. Yeah it will still happen, but 1 mass shooting is better than 100, and the less weapons among the population, the less likely stuff like this is to happen.

It doesn't matter what we the people want. NRA and other gun lobbyists has congress on lockdown with their handouts.
