Why anyone would support the NRA is beyond me. There's far better gun organisations to choose from.

The NRA had nothing to do with this. A radicalized Muslim did this.

Agreed. Blaming the NRA is fucking stupid.

That is very true. However, blaming the NRA for this terror attack is asinine.

Yeah really. It's not like gays are going over to the Middle East causing problems for the Muslims.

*cue the debates about whether the gunman was "a real Muslim" on the news in the morning*

Yknow, never mind that 20-50 people are dead, saving face is more important.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Not really the kind of thread to be joking around in, dude.

It's fucking Pride Week, that's why he chose a gay club.

While I don't think the NRA is responsible in any direct way, they are surely responsible for creating and nurturing gun fetishism, a fierce resistance to any sensible gun legislation, and a ban on even studying the effects of gun control on mass violence.

I am so sick of gun culture in this country. I'm sick of extremism of every type.

I've been waiting for texts from three friends, hoping they're okay. I grew up in that city. Fuck.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
