What he doesn't get is that a 1k gun becomes a 20k and they become a lot harder to obtain by your average fuckwit or 16 year old kid. Stricter selling laws and background checks would also help...

I agree that there should be stricter regulations for the sale of mag fed pistols and rifles in this country. However, Dampstain's original post was derogatory, vague and assumptive. Implying that this would have never happened if "Fat Neck" America had stricter gun laws. This guy wasn't your average criminal looking to knock over a liquor store. He was a terrorist. Sure, guns were what he used to kill people in the nightclub. But there are reports he was wearing a bomb vest and explosive materials were discovered where he lived. This guy was going to kill a lot of people no matter what. No "law" is going to prevent terrorism.

To address your point about what happens when guns are "banned". It's naive. To think there is some kind of real value to be gained from stripping millions of there rights to prevent the actions of a few... Nonsense.

Now why not address the real issue here?

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

ISLA VISTA, CA—In the days following a violent rampage in southern California in which a lone attacker killed seven individuals, including himself, and seriously injured over a dozen others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said North Carolina resident Samuel Wipper, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this guy from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what he really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past five years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

Carry on.

Don Carlos wrote:Sorry if I have not shown enough anger and hatred towards a sympathiser of a group of people that go against most reasoned peoples beliefs. I thought it might have been a given, but obviously not. And the gun is quite a large part of the killings what with it firing the bullets that entered the people who died and survived.

SHIT. ITS THE BULLETS FAULT!

Transient wrote:It's about all of these things and the way they intertwine, I reckon. If the mental problems had triggered something in the background check, maybe he wouldn't have the gun. If society was more accepting of the LGBT community, maybe his mental issues wouldn't have manifested as homophobia. If the government wasn't dropping bombs on Muslims, maybe he wouldn't feel the need to retaliate on behalf of ISIS. There's plenty of blame to go around.

The FBI will investigate allegations that Omar Mateen, the shooter at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday, had used gay dating apps and frequented the gay club for years, mingling with club-goers, an unnamed official told the Associated Press Tuesday morning.
