Orlando massacre

Not really a whole lot to say here.  We've been down that road before.

But, I guess I had better write something, though.

Okay, number one:  If there was security there, in particular armed security, does this lone wolf type succeed at killing all these people?  If you are going to have gun free zones, then you must be held accountable for these scenarios.  You are guaranteeing everybody's safety from such an attack if you declare a gun free zone.  Prudence would indicate that armed security would be required for any gun free zone where there were large numbers of people.

Number two:  Declaring an entire society a gun free zone, like a EU country would do, does not stop these kinds of attacks.  Witness the recent ISIS attacks in Europe.

Number three:  Why wasn't this guy locked up?  You mean the civil liberties of a guy who declared himself in sympathy with ISIS is more important that the internal security of the nation?  The is political correctness gone amuck.

Number four:  If he is in sympathy with ISIS, what is being done about such groups in America?  Anything?  Is that yet another example of political correctness gone amuck?

There could be a lot more to say here, but this alone should be enough to tell you that the current administration's wrong headedness about this issue.  Gun control won't work because it doesn't address the problem.  The main problem is a systematic unwillingness to address threats to the internal security of the United States.  This is largely due to the fact that political correctness is incompatible with our traditional American way of life.

Update:

The Dems suggest an arms ban for people on the no fly list. The GOP opposes.  It seems to me that some type of action should have been taken against the guy, since they knew who he was, and where his sympathies were.  Either you lock him up, or you take away his gun rights.  But taking away his gun rights does not stop him from getting a gun.  Locking him up is a better idea because it keeps him away from the bad influences. Not to mention, you can keep an eye on him.
