A Muslim shooter may have pulled the trigger, but America loaded the gun.

The church (and its theology of hate) has been killing the spirits of white black and latino LGBT people for ages.

Orlando's shooting is not the product of Islamic extremism, it is the product of good old fashioned American heterosexism.

It actually makes perfect sense that the "worst mass shooting in US history" would be targeted at black and latino LGBT people.

Black and Latino LGBT people have been living in a state of emergency every day of their lives.

And then there is the particularity of Florida. What a legacy: the Republican state that produced George Zimmerman, the stolen election of 2000, and now the deadliest shooting in the history of America.
No matter what, You'd blame Republicans.

The shooter was registered Democrat.

This was a sickeningly cleaver attack, it will likely pit the two adversarial camps in the US against each other. Those who are secular liberals vs conservative traditionalists, they will likely bicker about this being a "hate crime" and other issues pertaining to the gay activists movement. We should put all that on hold as this attack is not about that. In fact it has nothing to do with our internal divisions at all. This is an attack on our nation by a foreign terrorists state, 50 Americans died with their blood soaking into American soil and this was done at the hands of a foreign terrorists. (does not matter if he was born here, he was the son of Afghani immigrants and he was still aligned with his home culture) I am tired of us tolerating this, I also bet our European friends are tired of it too. Time to build a coalition of Western powers and go into Syria and deal with them. They have turned that poor nation into their personal base to spread death and war around the Western world, all while they torture and kill the citizens of that land as well. They must be destroyed, there is no possible peace process with them, no easy pretty way to deal with it. Bombers in the air, boots on the ground........It is time
Our President refuses to even name the enemy! If our government won't even discuss honestly our enemies Islamic terrorists and Muslim extremists, how do we defend ourselves?

Gun control worked so well in Paris and Brussels that the perpetrators of the recent attacks were able to get their hands on fully automatic weapons.

This is true. I don't understand why people think that is insanity. LGBT have been perscuted by just about EVERY religion, especially by hardliners. I think that this is both an attack on gays and also an attack by a Muslim. I am not saying it is ISIS or another group (I honestly think it is a lone wolf with little if any ties to ISIS) but a Muslim, not all of them or even some, a single Muslim.

Next thing you know they will blame law abiding gun owners, the NRA or "assault weapons", anything but Islam.
Obama & this wayward administration created ISIS by allowing the growth of this group & then underestimating their reach. No doubt the gun meme will be trotted out.
