Oh and just to add... no one needs more than a small caliber handgun for personal protection, or a non-auto rifles / shotguns for hunting. There is literally no compelling argument for selling assault rifles and other military grade weapons to the general public without some SERIOUS paperwork being involved.

The Daily Mail today decide to troll their readers than feature Orlando..

one of the young lads only came out as gay at New Year :bawling:

There's an article where someone talks about him "becoming enraged" at the sight of two men kissing. Total conjecture and guesswork here but... a fairly realistic scenario is that it's because he found himself unwillingly aroused by it and that conflicted with his personal or religious beliefs, making him angry, and directing that anger at any gay person, probably building up over years. It's a sort of "classic" homophobe scenario taken to a horrifying extreme. |

Whilst I know its not a competition etc
A car bomb could wipe out 80 tomoz in Iraq and we would not give 2 hoots or make a thread. Just worth noting in terms of the hierarchy of death |

This is so, so sad.
I don't understand why the lives of America's citizens isn't placed at paramount importance, regardless of whether the gun industry is lucrative. With respect to the Owen Jones thing, i see his point in some respect, but I don't understand how he can speak with such conviction about what the attacker's motives are. I particularly didn't like when he said 'you don't understand because you aren't gay.' We don't know if exactly the reason why they were pursued - yes it's likely homophobically driven, but you can't just own this - terror is something that affects everyone. |
I think he has a point, unless you are a targeted minority group you can't fully understand,you can sympathise and be appalled but that's it.

But at the same time, massacres on this scale have hardly been isolated to minority groups, so his assertion that nobody outside of that group can understand came across a little self serving IMO. His whole attitude didn't help any debate I thought. |

so can you imagine what it was like at 10m in that club? |

This is a tragic news item yet it still sparked debate, for all kinds of reasons the terrorist angle, the fox news angle the gun laws angle there is nothing wrong with that and nothing is said to upset or bother you. I agree condescending tones and being accused of pack mentality when voicing your opinion is annoying, but then we all have a standpoint. It is showing respect to have your say, not one post had the intention to cause trouble it was simply a clash of personal opinion. In a situation where prejudice has caused so much death and misery can it ever be right to say nothing? |
Not to mention this is the debates section so it was always going to lead to a deeper discussion outside of condolences for the victims.

It's so frustrating and emotionally draining, these tragedies are a cycle of death that will only keep repeating itself. I'm so sick of it and the inaction on the US government's part to do anything meaningful to prevent these tragedies from occurring. |
