In light of the recent horrific shootings in Orlando, We can add it to Obama's list of accomplishments. Some legacy huh?

Do you think the Obama admin should be held accountable for this?

Well seeing how Obama specifically tried to close the access to guns that allowed to shooter to arm himself, and was stopped by the NRA via Republicans... I'm having a hard time connecting the dots to how this could be his fault...

If anything needs to be banned it it immigrants, even though the shooter was born in this country his parents were not.

Because it wasnt a gun that killed those people. How many times does that have to be explained to you?

Cars are not responsible for drunk driving fatalities
Coke and Pepsi are not responsible for Diabetes.


Stop blaming inanimate objects for something a HUMAN has to do!!!..jesus christ palomino....

How exactly would you stop him from getting a gun? The guy was an armed GUARD! What, do we deny guns to cops and guards?

Hummm, maybe we are on to something there...

So I would think stopping the person from getting the inanimate object would be a useful move to prevent a tragedy like Orlando, no?

A car is just an inanimate object, yet we stop drunk people from getting in them all the time to prevent tragedies.

There's a simple solution to many of these dangerous types. We have people in jail for threatening to kill others. Some people end up in jail for hiring a killer to kill a spouse. Even though the crime is not committed, they are still jailed for planning the crime and putting it in motion. We also have laws that protect POTUS. You can end up in jail for making threats. So why can't we put people in jail for plotting planning and advocating homicides of average people. The guy talked openly of doing what he did. Laws could be passed.
