I doubt they'll find much of anything....but the survivors might like to see the type of firearm used to kill their family be the type of firearm that is banned, unlike our last gun ban fiasco. We have the last gun ban to thank for the ar15 in every possible sense. It drove the innovation, it drove the style, it drove the mindset.......without it there would be no ar15's to strangle the rifle market.
Might want to get it right next time. One gun shop has sold 15,000 AR15's since Sunday.

'We normally sell two a day, today we are selling up to 15 an hour': Georgia gun shop reports soaring AR 15 sales while Pennsylvania dealer has sold 15,000 since Orlando massacre
Omar Mateen killed at least 49 people in a gay nightclub early Sunday morning in a shooting rampage
Gun sales have soared since the tragedy as enthusiast fear the weapons may be banned or restricted in the wake of the massacre
Georgia gun shop sold 15 guns an hour yesterday while a Pennsylvania dealer has sold 15,000 since Sunday
Smith & Wesson, the Massachusetts-based manufacturer of handguns, shares increased as much as eight per cent the day after the massacre
Shares of Connecticut-based Sturm, Ruger & Company saw a more than nine per cent jump in shares on the same day
Concern among consumers who are buying guns is that they might be more difficult to purchase in the future if stricter legislation is passed"

Hype, and it wont erase the units already sold which is driven by the larger trend in -all- new firearm purchases. I've jostled gun ban advocates before with the same, every time someone high enough up says the wrong words in combination people report a bump in sales. It's expectable. If I thought they were going to ban cars I would go out and buy that bmw I've always wanted but never had a good enough reason to buy, too. It's temporary, though. People are buying more rifles even when fifty people aren't being shot up..and politicians aren't rattling their sabres. Ultimately, shooting is fun, and shooting an ar is super fun and super easy...even if you're a person like me, who has gripes with the rifle not at all related to the rifle itself. If my wife got into it...I'd rent her an ar at the range. Just couldn't pass it up.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

A Baptist pastor in my town praised God for the massacre from his pulpit 2 days ago. Are you relieved to see that as well?

No, the only wickedness I see from this is religious crazies using this to further their own sick agendas.

One I see pop up periodically, Steven Anderson, who, unfortunately, shares my surname, has had a couple of videos removed from YouTube and then whined about it.
These are the type who need to be under a bus.

Oh, well so long as God's not blamed and all. I mean it was just 50 people losing their lives. No big deal, right? God's what is important. So long as his fragile ego remains in tact, all is right with the world. Fifty families are mourning the lives of their sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters. So long as god doesn't get the blame, all will be okay.
I find the profiting off of tragedies by gun shops and weapon manufacturers to be absolutely disgusting. It's absolutely sick to go out and buy the weapon you know killed 50 people. It takes a especially sick person to do something like that.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
