Worst in US history, 50 dead, 53 injured.
Mass shooting in Florida.

Given that gun control and religion is even more played out than Vancouver housing here on NBR, any suggestions on what we should discuss?
If you'll allow it, I'd suggest that somehow religions need to step up and take some ownership in this.
If only there was a carpenter dude who told us all of this a couple thousand years ago. Wouldn't matter though.. No one would listen to that hippy bullshit today.
Interested to know how this will sit with the population that hates Muslims and gays . . .
I was watching the news last night when the story broke, and during the coverage outside the club there was a huge amount of gunfire. Sounded like a war zone.

We can politically correct this by banning guns.
We need to be tolerant to the muslims and pervs.
As I have been hearing, the shooters father has stated that the shooter was infuriated when recently witnessing gay expression in public.
Dang, maybe he is normal after all
Obastard will be speaking shortly and I'm sure he will spin this to his objectives.
I have already seen news conferences by police and city officials regarding this incident which showed rag headed Muslims standing behind the speakers to quell anger of Islam, (read carefully scripted). More will come out of this shooting and those in power will push their scripted narrative regardless of the truth…..
Hard to feel sorry for the gay community right now. Sure, they are Americans, but so are the shop owners who want to protect their religious freedoms and the little kids that want to use the scientifically appropriate restroom.
The most disturbing thing that I saw when this event unfolded, aside from the obvious, was the presence of this 'Muslim' representative - of what? The Orlando PD Department? He was there from the first moment TV cameras began rolling.
Have they installed one of these to insinuate themselves into our community? Who is responsible for this? A Muslim cleric?
We aren't killing enough of these Muslim terrorist dirtbags in the first place. Kill them before they kill us. Pretty simple figuring if you ask me.
you could see from the video clips that the patrons were gay folks but I held my tongue.
I can't wait to see how many of these people of that persuasion still think that Muslims are tolerant of non-believers and are members of the religion of peace.
Will Obama and his ilk comfort all of those of his 'protected special class of people' he likes to champion - gays, trannies, bathroom-crashers, weirdos and general sexual perverts who are exactly the targets the terrorists wish to erase from the face of the earth.

Freedom of contract. We sell them guns that kill them; they sell us drugs that kill us.
All these people must be atheist.
They need religion in their lives to show them that what they're thinking and saying is wrong.
Who cares.
Who cares.
I'd say at the very least, hundreds of millions of people.
The poor scamp never heard of, "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
But that's what you get in that Godless hell-hole of Texas.

Trump calls on President Obama to resign in wake of Orlando shooting
Fuck.
How do we fix this mess? Take a couple parts Sermon on the Mount, mix with a decrease in wealth inequality and and add many cups of funding to public education. Bake for a generation or two and this cancer will be cured.
We shouldn't be allowed to drive, let alone allowed to walk around with guns.

But, that kind of sounds like socialism and that is evil….

Good question. I am quite desensitized to US mass shootings to be honest.

Take away the media coverage and the social media indignation. Without it, there's no point in shooting anyone.
Im with Sleeper. Go ride your bike and worry about things within your circle of control.

Take away the media coverage of everything? Turn off the internet?
As long as you have people living a life in happiness that is orthogonal to someones inbred way of life, someone, somewhere will go out of their way to make a false-martyr of themselves.
We can only hope to lessen this through various means, of which I've listed some earlier.
The belief of not naming the killer on the major news outlets as helping helps as much as changing the background of your Facebook profile picture for the moment du jour.
