I feel this... not looking forward to my parents getting home from church to hear about their opinions.
The ease with which people can get their hands on a device that hurls projectiles designed to kill humans is staggering. It's a real problem, but I fear America is too far gone to change significantly regarding it. I understand people want to defend themselves - I get that a person doesn't want to have to fist fight a violent intruder, for instance. Still, with no end in sight to shootings like this, 50 lives gone and hundreds if not thousands of lives irreconcilably devasted, I do what the plan is going forwards. Ignore it? More guns?
Absolutely tragic. My heart goes out to all the friends and family impacted by this.

This is truly a horrific tragedy. So much has to be addressed in this county including the gun culture that is so prevalent. I also don't understand why addressing this or any crime by Muslims as being Islamic terrorism would make any difference. In the contrary, I hope that those who think it would should realize that it would only empower the terrorists.

Where ? In USA ? I'd be shocked and surprised
There's even a live coverage on TV News channels in France
Because "You can't tell me what to do! Freedom! baldeagle.jpg"

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Pretty much, even if it wasn't Islamic terrorirism, it was an act of terrorism regardless.
Yet, I see the words gun control used 1000x more than terrorism.
Yeah, that's the shooter. And no, he just grew up in New York, not a cop. A security guard apparently.

Yes, because I come from a family that first hand experienced the pain of a totalitarian goverment. This is what happens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reorganization_Process
It boggles my mind that people are giving away their rights willingly. That kind of behaviour can only come from someone who has never experienced this kind of state.

Yeah and judging by his pictures, had a bit of a NYPD fetish.
Typical power craving nutter.
Dunno, seems that many people are hard at work trying to go around the limitation, no?

In 2015, America had more events classified as mass shootings than there were days in the year.
Denmark, it concerns me because a lot of opinions bleed across the continents, and there's also a large segment of posters in this thread that are clearly not American themselves being outraged over gun laws they don't understand.

The stranglehold that gun nuts have the US in is tragic. There is no sane reason for one person to be able to carry around a weapon that can take down 100 adults single-handed. I don't blame the killers anymore, because they are obviously just completely insane. I blame the people that argue for their right to carry around a military-grade arsenal.
Can we please stop the gun semantics argument please? Nobody is coming to take your guns. in fact sales of AR15s and ammo will go through the roof.
50 people are dead and the media and politicians have already moved the goalposts to terrorism while ignoring the fact that a terrorist can very easily buy an AR15 and ludicrous amounts of "sportring" ammo
Your guns are safe guys.

Huh? Everyone is covering this. Everyone is sad, but it's getting very old..
You do in Texas to hunt hogs. Those are some mean motherfuckers, destructive as all hell, and hard to kill too.

This violence needs to end
Tighten security and ban guns all together,
If someone has a gun put them in jail.

It's just a bunch of faggots.
Contrary to what the last couple years might appear to tell you, most people wouldn't give a fuck if we were killed more and more.

Yeah great to see tons of people donating in the wake of this. Lines reportedly over an hour long in some places in Orlando. Lots of friends myself in Orlando.

I'm O- but in Illinois. I hope this message spreads though and the hospitals get what they need. O- can donate to anyone, but only receive from other O-, right?

There is no lone wolf when you have the full backing of the United States to purchase as many guns as possible in the quickest time as possible.
The United States government and anyone who does not support more gun control are complicit in this attack.
There is no lone wolf.

Well, they're also completely illegal.

That was the count from earlier this morning, BBC is probably not caught up.
It's still not fully automatic, neither are the popular "slide fire" stocks.
Even then, slide fire stocks have been out for years and years now, I've yet to hear about them being used in crime.

Not a mere 12 hours after it took place and where I see people mention things like;
"I don't see this kind of reactions and media attention when it happens in South Africa"

Whatever rhetoric or semantics you wanna use for it doesn't make it any less bananas. I hate guns.
All the best to the families of those affected by this horrible incident.

It's 50 dead and 53 injured.
What other fucking words do you want from me? do you want a thesis on how I believe gun buying should be reformed? Do you want me to write a really long post eulogizing each and every victim?
Fuck off with that.
More than 100 people's lives were affected in a terrible way in one of the few spaces that us queer people actually have in this shitty fucking world that just wants us dead. So fucking forgive me if this event leaves me at a loss for words.
News said he exchanged fire with an armed police officer.
Good guy with a gun and a shit ton of training couldn't stop it.
We've had multiple gun control only topics in the past to clear out mass shooting topic threads of these sorts of posts. OPs may as well start two threads for every US gun tragedy, one for the tragedy and one for gun control discussion (three if the word Islam is involved).
By a single gunman in one day definitely not sure if there are others without those restrictions. I think before the top were Virginia tech and sandy hook.

The way this shit is going, we should also make a tragedy megathread. :-/
Too often man....too often.
The victims were dirty gays. This was probably God's warning or some bullshit.
