    Is this not a reasonable comment from the senate majority leader?
    Non-violence is the creed of those that maintain a monopoly on force.

    Mitch McConnell: "We Are Open To Gun Control Suggestions"
    The mass murder occurred in yet another "Gun Free Zone". These mass murderers specifically pick locales where the victims are likely to be defenseless.
    Gun Free Zones are pre-prepared mass killing zones.

    Every one of the victims was unarmed and defenseless. Whenever you read a headline or hear a news story that the assailant killed 50 victims, insert the word "unarmed." The assailant killed 50 unarmed/disarmed victims.

    So Mitch wants to consider suggestions to make more people into unarmed and potential defenseless victims.



    [P.S. the one factor most in common among these mass murderers (although the MSM fails to report on it) is their use of psychoactive medications. Mateen's ex-wife reports he was bipolar and mentally ill. I am curious what medications Mateen was on.]

    Oh, that's only the half of it. Not only did this incident demonstrate how vulnerable a disarmed populace is, it demonstrated how incompetent government is to keep guns out of the hands of the unbalanced.

    Remember, this guy received a license to carry through Wackenhut, despite having been investigated--twice--by the FBI.

    The government isn't trying to get guns out of the hands of the imbalanced, it's trying to ensure only the unbalanced have them.

    People need to get over this 2nd amendment crap. You don't need an assault rifle in your house to protect you. If you want an assault rifle, join the army like everyone else. If Uncle Sam has any left over after supplying terrorists with them, you can probably get one.

    Even if someone goes clubbing and feels comfortable taking a pistol with them, what are they going to do in the face of a shooter with a Rifle like the AR-15 carrying more rounds?

    Not only that, but I expect most people going to a club will be drinking alcohol. I don't think any sensible person should be carrying firearms when they know they could be drunk.

    If I'm behind him, I can take out a guy with an AR-15 with a bar stool or a pool cue.

    I could take out a guy firing a Howitzer with a .22, if he doesn't know I'm there. Or if he's dumb enough to try to shoot me first, instead of ducking behind cover.

    The bad guys need rounds. If there's only one bad guy, then the good guy only needs one bullet (if he can shoot).

    Best suggestion I've heard is to arm random employees - arm a bar tender, a couple security guard/bouncers, DJ or one of the sound guys, manager, waitress if she is comfortable. Lots of options.

    One person can still take out someone with an AR if they don't see them, but if there are multiple armed people in a crowded room that brings a lot of opportunity for those who are armed.

    Stop the attack with the pistol. You get him as soon as possible, or he WILL get you. "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast", you take care of it, because you already had a plan for your safety when you walked in, and loony-guy currently has other things on his mind.

    Not only that, but I expect most people going to a club will be drinking alcohol. I don't think any sensible person should be carrying firearms when they know they could be drunk.
    Substitute "drunk" with "incapacitated", or "weakened". Now the pistol again becomes the equalizer it is meant to be.

    If I'm a club owner, I have a policy in place already to try to avoid any mishaps that come from over indulgence. If I'm a club patron, I am probably enjoying a club that I already feel relatively safe in.

    In my younger years, I had found myself leaving a good number of private party scenes because of the potential for violence.

    Define "terrorists". A few years ago that included Ron Paul supporters, anyone with a pocket constitution or "patriot" materials and a slew of other Americans. The terrorist no fly list is infamous for listing scores of innocent people. It had something like a million people on it a few years ago.

    Call the Senators and tell them to vote against "No Fly No Buy"

    http://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/



    I urge you to oppose "No fly No buy"! This bill would prevent people who have mistakenly put on the No fly list, with no way of knowing how or why they were put on it, from exercising their Second Amendment rights

    Please oppose "No Fly No Buy"!

    Saw a FL congressman on FOX (I think) who has introduced legislation about this. I can't recall his name but think he's going to run for Rubio's seat. His bill gives everyone the right to challenge the 'terrorist' designation, the government 10 days to provide a reason for anyone being denied and a court hearing must make a determination in 30 days. I can see it now... feds will cry national security to not provide the documentation demanded.

    Don't forget Uncle Sam supplying them to the Mexican drug lords. You can't make this stuff up!

    Shoot him when he's reloading? Even with an AR-15 you can't shoot 100 people without reloading. Shoot him when he's shooting someone else across the room?

    Not only that, but I expect most people going to a club will be drinking alcohol. I don't think any sensible person should be carrying firearms when they know they could be drunk.
    Right. Those 49 people are just better off dead.

    Yep. There are a lot of people who go to clubs and don't drink. Even among the patrons. They're called "designated drivers." Nothing wrong with "designated shooters."

    How many people did the police shoot?

    How many did Mateen shoot? if any.

    I have no idea about other irrelevant side issues,, who is gay, who is foreign, and who is lying. so what.

    How many (admittedly a few) people did the Police Kill and Wound?

    Worse Mass shooting in US history...? Courtesy of your government.

    Remember,, the patsy was also a government contractor.

    Okay this to me seems reasonable. I don't think people going clubbing are in a state of mind to be ready to draw a weapon, especially if they've been drinking.

    Can't a place be a Gun Free Zone regarding the customers while having the exception for the owner and employees? Maybe have armed bouncers? This seems reasonable as the staff are sober and also serving the customers so they're more aware of who is in the club and how people are behaving.

    Years ago,, when I was able. I Open Carried.

    And though I did not get "drunk" while armed. I was armed while drinking.

    Bar owner showed me where house guns were,, appreciated that I carried mine Openly. (most did so concealed/illegally)

    I was asked not to carry in one establishment. and I respected that and never spent another penny there.

    A property owner has the right to search patrons,
    the right to demand the way patrons present themselves at the establishment,
    the right to evict deemed trespassers...
    but never the right to disarm any free man.

    Checking (or failing to check) one's weapons is a gentleman's agreement that should never carry the weight of law amongst a free people.

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988
