There is no 15 day waiting period in Florida. It's three business days for handguns. No waiting period for rifles or shotguns.
Looks like another homophobic terrorist attack was thwarted by police in California: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-gay-pride-la-weapons-20160612-snap-story.html
Yes, it is much harder to kill with an airplane now, we should indeed follow a similar course with guns.
And how do you suggest we disarm the trained security professionals? This guy could have easily become a SWAT team member. The only person who returned fire was another security person working in the club, so one jihadist was able to kill 50 unarmed people and wound over 50 more. Yet just a couple of years ago two better-armed jihadists tried to attack a pro-gun, anti-Muslim event in Garland Texas and the only people who died were the two jihadists.
No! If you disagree on the morality of their chosen lifestyle you MUST want them murdered in cold blood! What is wrong with you???
I doubt the Germans that turned a blind eye to Hitler's anti semitic comments didn't expect him to gas six million Jews either, numbnuts. I'm reminded of my sixth grade teacher asking if we would have fought for Civil Rights back in the day. I said no, because it was dangerous, not having the realization at 12 years old that I had the freedom to even ponder this because of the folks who fought and died for my entitled ass. Some things are worth standing up for.
http://thoughtcatalog.com/jacob-gee...ople-applauding-the-orlando-gay-club-shooter/ I pulled a Dinner and posted it in the Dusseldorf thread first. Again, the Dinners of the world love to cite how so many Muslims applaud violence against infidels and they ought to be kicked out the country. And yet here you go with a sample--one that represents an increasingly small minority--of Americans cheering the fact that "God let it happen," among other classy comments. Tell me how we can't become as savage as Islamic extremists again.
This. Anyone can become dangerous if they're fed disinformation, and their hates and fears fired up until they feel they must act. Recruiters for these organizations thrive on such ignorance.
Same thing I said in that thread: You want to talk about disgusting animals. Wow. No doubt some Dinner analog is right now using those tweets to demonstrate that all Americans are homophobic assholes.
Pretty clear that I lack the balls to engage in something like that as I'm just a coward? From that comment it appears that you actually advocate the action. And I will never stop speaking out against horrendous moral conduct. The fact that you would want me to speaks more to your lack of character than anything else.
Yeah, that's it. I know you aren't that intelligent and reading comprehension has always been a bit difficult for you so I'll make it simple for you - my advice to you would try to be more of a man and less of a terrible human being that enables violence and bullying towards gay people. I mean is trying to not be such a sleazy scumbag that much of a difficult thing for you?
Your link lists tweets from the Westboro Baptist Church. And tweets like this: Dawla islamiya@VoiceofMuslims2 doesn't sound particularly Christian. Peter Kaweesi probably lives in Uganda. It's a common name there. And Hanif and Khalid were also quoted.
For those here who are suggesting that people who believe homosexuality is immoral are somehow "creating an environment" that leads to this kind of violence consider this: Fundamentalist Christians have had roughly the same views on homosexuals they have now in the 90s, 80s, 70s 60s, 50s..............well you get the idea. Yet there were no massacres like this back then. Why not?
And in their panic, they become Afghan Muslims, marry Uzbeks, and join ISIS? Surely that's not how it works.
I know this was brought up after the Columbine school shooting and I think many police dept. in the U.S. made changes but I think that American police are going to do more about getting out of their tendency to want to "surround and contain" a violent situation and be more active in going in even if they don't have a clear idea of what's happening inside and don't have their full numbers and firepower available.
