The two people with conceal-carry permits who were carrying guns in the Pulse Nightclub who managed to pull their guns were killed. They were in the situation where they were unwilling to just shoot randomly at people running away from the gunfire of Mateef,which in a crowded nightclub wasn’t entirely clear as to the…

He was scared that the cops would think he was the shooter. So I was absolutely wrong, but it points out another reluctance.

A responsible gun owner wouldn’t even draw in that situation. It’s dark, you can’t figure out who is shooting, and the chances of you killing two people? What are you on about? No one takes that kind of risk. No one wants to do that. Real life is not an action movie. Most people are not prepared to kill ANYONE.

So you think people should be allowed to carry concealed in a nightclub/bar? That’s what Trump wants. Be clear on your position.

You seriously think a person at a club at 2 am could have shot this person dead without harming anyone else?

This week, two FB friends copied-and-posted the same dead-eyed rant about “the gun under my shirt at the grocery store” that “you’ll never know about” but “at least I won’t die while sniveling for my life.” Un-friended.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I served in Iraq in a recon platoon that saw a pretty good amount of combat.

I love it when the people who insist that the body count would have been LOWER if all the drunk people in a dark night, crowded nightclub had been armed and had a hard on for shooting people accuse everyone else of living in a fantasy world.

I would love to see a study that correlates low IQ to numbers of guns owned.

Yeah it’s white collar whites responsible for the gun violence in America.

Yes, clearly I’M the one with Hollywood fantasies in my head...

My neighborhood association just approved a program where members will be “patrolling”the neighborhood with guns- and my state doesn’t require any sort of liscense, permit, or training to have a gun in your car.

GUNS! GUNS! GUNS! GIVE EVERY HUMAN A GUN! WHAT COULD GO WRONG? HUMANS ARE VERY RELIABLE AND NEVER VIOLENT. IF EVERYONE CARRIES A GUN. PROBLEM SOLVED! WILL JUST HAVE SHOOTOUTS EVERY TIME WE GET PISSED AT EACH OTHER. IT’LL BE THE OLD WEST ALL OVER AGAIN. ROAD RAGE? BANG YOUR DEAD! BUMPED INTO ME? YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!…

Am i wrong but ,, IT WAS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN ,, that killed the people in Orlando ...

I don’t use the word hate lightly. I also try to remember that most people aren’t good or bad, everyone has some humanity, etc, etc.

I mean, Sandy Hook didn’t get the NRA to change its tune, and its membership likes kindergarteners way more than gay club-goers at Latin Night.

Okay, I didn’t make this, so it isn’t eligible for submission, but I thought it might help punctuate the competitive overtone here.

Linus is pissed.

What a performance!
