This appears to be first a hate crime in that the gay club was specifically targeted because it's a gay club. Radical Muslim terrorist attacks have the character of being random - airports, restaurants, malls. This is something new. The muslim internet sites are celebrating the killing of gays. Religion certainly was the motivator, but it is not "jihad" as we have come to know it.
Blame your God for creating the killer, not Obama. They say " Your God don't make mistakes", it appears a mistake was made by your God when the killer was born."
That is not true, it is a more complicated process, but you can legally purchase automatic weapons in the US. One has to submit fingerprints and photographs to the ATF and go through a FBI criminal background check.
That's why I said "essentially banned." You can legally buy old pre-ban automatic weapons after a lengthy process and then you'll pay many thousands of dollars for the actual weapon.
Sanders and anti-gun politicians purposely lie and call semi-automatic weapons automatic weapons because it instills fear in people who don't know anything about guns.
When I bought an AR-15 my parents asked me why I needed a machine gun that "sprays" bullets. I explained the difference to them and they asked, "Why doesn't the media explain it to us that way?"
Which is really irrelevant and goes back to my earlier comment. Now I understand the reply in kind argument but all the same it's all stupid when one tries and blame entire groups of people for the actions of an individual.
