Orlando, Florida Massacre

[sherryinutah]

Another shooting spree.  This one was in Orlando, Florida on June 12, 2016.  The shooter was supposedly bi-polar and called 911 to "pledge allegiance to ISIS" before walking into a gay bar and killing many people.

It's another "guns in the hands of mentally ill people" issue. 

When I delivered my first child.....

I realized that everyone is someone's child; therefore, I feel love and compassion for those who are feeling the impact of this situation.

What are your thoughts about all this?

[hitch0403]

Of course most think it is quite sad.But unless you have a loved one directly involved in the situation most will just have it fade away....until the next shooting.And you can bet your life that that will happen again until God Almighty has decided to put this satanic manmade system in oblivion!!

Psalm 37:10

New International Version
A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

[6265AT99]

Whether on our soil or anywhere else - a mass shooting is sad and sick.  I feel for those families who now mourn the loss of their loved ones and I pray for all to WAKE UP and realize the current administration LED BY THE USURPER is the cause!!!!!  He should be dragged out in shackles and chains and hung from the highest tree for all to see how America deals with treason!!!!!!!!!

I, too, agree that this is a very sad situation.  I do, however, believe that this terrorist attack has finally awoken the LGBT community to the fact that they are targets of the "religion of peace."  Unfortunately, it took a terrorist attack such as this one, on OUR soil, to make them realize the full impact.  I'm very happy to say that the LGBT community in Phoenix announced that they are now backing Trump for the Presidency because, they said, "enough is enough."  I agree with them wholeheartedly and welcome them in to the fold.

I feel so sad for those that have lost loved ones. When is this going to end Our president can nor nor will he admit we have problems from within from the Islam  factor.  All he can do is blame it on guns. He is so adamit about taking guns away from those who are peace loving people. He needs to start at the bottom and take them away from the bottom feeders. and let us protect ourselves.

    a lot of crazy people in this world we live in.

I do not buy the "mentally ill" crap.  Nor the "bi-polar" nonsense.  It is a cop out.  It is an excuse used to excuse the behavior.
People can do whatever they want and then claim they are mentally ill and get away with it.

[sherryfan]

I think the whole law should be changed, anyone can say mentally illness and get away with it, What about the other, should they deserve to be killed? I do pray for the family that are being hurt.

[bigedshult]

I don't know what to say but I don't blame the gun it the man that did it not the gun Hilller will blame it on the gun .but that is like blaming the car when some one run over some one

[tnshpalmer85]

I only live about one 1hr and 45mins away from Orlando and this was too close to home for me. It kind of does not feel real. I think the US is playing some part in these mass shootings because it is happening way to often without real consequences. It seems life has no value and the people who do this basically get away with it cause all we end up doing is praying for the victims.

[JediJohnnie]

The mentally ill thing is just what the PC crowd will use to deflect the issue that this was another radical terrorist attack on American soil.

And Trump is just talking "crazy talk" by wanting to secure our borders,huh? He can't get elected fast enough,IMO.

[kimber62372]

I'm sickened by the brutal slayings of innocent people! This country needs to stand together as one and take charge! Our president does absolutely nothing except to speak about gun control. Do something about it you SOB!! Maybe he is secretly part of the terrorist acts? Sickens me beyond believe and this is why I will NEVER vote again and be political. They are ALL A-holes in my book! #freedomofspeech

[ghunter]

People! People! STOP the blame game.  We can blame it on guns, on our President the mental ill, but I agree with hitch0403, God is coming back soon, so get ready get ready!!!

[linderlizzie]

Of course it's quite sad. Unfortunately, I'm becoming somewhat inured to these kind of tragedies. I never thought that would happen to me, but it has. 

When you hear about something horrid (mass shootings) so often, it doesn't mean as much to you. You become much less affected by it. This is especially true if it occurs far away from you.

I would imagine there are others that feel the same as I do.

I started to watch the hearing on Visa Overstays and National Security....did you know that there are "only" 782,000 overstays in this country? That leaves 11,281,000 ILLEGALS in this country who are criminals because they break the immigration laws of  this country. It wouldn't happen in other countries. Those countries throw you in jail or deport you immediately. Some countries even shoot you for sneaking into their country.

As to the subject at hand, the Dems jumped on the gun control bandwagon immediately again. So, the guy was cleared in all background checks and security clearances. It has come out that he was a regular at not only Pulse but other LBGT night clubs over the past few years. What does that tell you? He may have been a closet LBGT and hated the idea since he was a Muslim.  It's NOT the gun, it's the person behind the gun. Assault weapons cannot be bought by the public, only by the military and police. The shooter DID NOT have an assault weapon. People need to learn the difference between rifles and assault weapons. Just because they may look like an AK-47 does not make them one.
