Notice how silent the mainstream media is on this... basically they manipulate the news stories to try to sway public opinion... guns save lives and prevent shooters like this from being able to go on sprees and yet nobody cares.. we've got to ban them instead...

right because police have nothing better to do that stand around in a night club waiting for some idiot to start shooting.

let me remind you again, when seconds count the cop are only minutes away.

be a little tough to bring it into action quickly, and its rather heavy, but more power to him if he can do it. but at that point i doubt anyone would want to mess with him even if didnt have a firearm on him.

There was a cop with a gun in Orlando! He tried to shoot the shooter and it only drove the shooter to taking hostages -- remember?

Anyone notice how quiet the gun grabbers get when things like this happen? I think it is funny.

In the case of Orlando many of the 50 would still be alive if a few law abiding citizens were armed.

I disagree. You are in a dark nightclub with hundreds of people dancing and mingling. Shots are heard and chaos breaks out because no one knew where it was coming from. Everyone is running and screaming. So unless you are right next to the guy how in the heck would your gun have helped. And that's saying you had a good shot at him without innocent people in front of him.
