There is a thing called the black market and of course you could ban guns someone is always going to find a way to get them. 
I am saying is we need better regulation here state side to prevent people that can and could cause harm to others preventing them 
from getting guns. I am in favor of the 2nd amendment you can have a assault style rifle and 30+ round magazine if.. get this if..
you are responsible and not i repeat not a danger to society.

Anyways, I mostly try not to think emotionally about any of this stuff. A news story has to be a news story to me. There's too much awful I just can't handle it emotionally to allow myself to really think about it.

I'm tired of hearing that we cannot fix it.  Of course we CANNOT fix it if we don't try, or believe we can, and it seems the majority of people have already just given up or given in.

All this rhetoric about how gay people are oppressed or how Gay people were specifically targeted by the LGBT community leaders and the shooter was GAY!

I know what most of you would say, but after 9/11 I did feel the impact of those events. even the Oklahoma city bombing felt different. This happened less than 10 mins from my church and honestly it feels like another news story. I am not suprise at the reaction or scale of reaction from the surrounding communities and the well wishing across the world, but again it's what you kinda expect from a 'news story of this type and scale.

And, before the haters say that I was rooting for the shooter or I think those people got what they deserve, I don't. It is a really bad thing for any one to shoot up a crowd of people period.

I'm not the only one here who thinks this way. Most people I've spoken who live here, have a similar view, in that it was a terrible thing, but like me tend to see this as another news story. I've even asked others what it had been disney or one of the other parks, and the reaction does indeed change at the thought of little children being caught in the cross fire, but this is all very different. Maybe it is because of the speed and willingness the news and politicians are willing to use this event to cash in or spread their views. (Like how quickly the other orlando thread turned into a gun debate) Idk..

So Im posting this to see what you all honestly feel. is this just another news item tailor made for the up comming election or is there/should their be a 9-11 feel to this?

Fine no guns. Dripshit I wouldn't be suprised if there is a christard forum somewhere where you are currently jumping up and down in glee proclaiming that the victims got what they deserved. You're too big on the judgemental sectarianism of the bible for this to be unlikely.
