Thoughts and prayers to the people of Orlando.

Definitely a tragedy.

Out of respect for those impacted, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything. No politics. Thread will be aggressively moderated.

Thoughts go out to everyone in Orlando.

Trying to understand why the Inmans (Islam Preachers) can talk of killing gays and not get a free ride back to Sandland. I am still waiting on the Islam community to turn one of these guys in. But, they did catch one headed to a parade and I think he is white. What can you ever do if a person gets evil set in their minds? Sorry for the deaths. John

I wish I could tell you about stuff we witnessed in Iraq and my friend's saw in Afghanistan, but out of respect for the thread and moderators I won't....

Props to President Obama for his candor so far. I'm pleased to hear him addressing this horrific tragedy quickly and forcefully.

 

[VAspeedgoat]

I hope something positive can come from this. Hopefully not just b.s and positioning for politics.

 

[sneakypete]

It's a sad day for America, our freedom will be impacted by this vicious cowardly act! We will soon be going thru metal detectors to enter a mall or where large amounts of Americans gather!

Amen Brother!


Unfortunately, The only thing that will come of this will be more regulations for us law abiding citizens.

 

[hank4elk]

Not if we let ourselves not become victims too.
A tragedy for sure. For many.

Candor!!!? The first thing he did was to blame guns.

 

[noharleyyet]

Hoop, I'm referring to his remarks about terror and hate.

 

[TimeOnTarget]

The problem NHY, is that remarks don't fix things. There never is any action on things like this. Well, other than wanting to make law abiding citizens lives more restricted.

 

[rjlefty3]

I hope something positive can come from this.

I'm with you. It's just awful. As horrible as it is, I'd like to imagine it'll somehow help someone in the future.

And yet he will still push for more refugees from those countries to come here and push them thru with minimal checks.Look at the push to get more in in the last few months.This will soon be normal everyday stuff and coming to a mall or movie theater near you.Hillary has exact same policies as Obama.I know this guy was born here from immigrant parents but it was terrorism.We don't need more of this and then have our gun rights threatened when they do what we know they will do.Lets make us even more defenseless
I may not believe in their lifestyle but they are humans and Americans and this is just disgusting.I hope some see Trumps policies for what they are and not racism.Hes trying to protect us.Prayers for all these families affected and hope this is the last

You should review his statement. I agree with Harley.

 

[El Jason]

My prayers to all of the families. Unfortunately, you can't rid the world of evil no matter how hard you try.

I agree 100 %. Prayers for all

I did and the mention of guns was reasonable, but I wish he hadn't said anything at all. Now all I see is a fixation on it.

 

[oswald2581]

I have seen many people on different social media platforms already attacking guns and 2nd ammement rights. I will be curious to see how these guns were obtained by this guy and what effects it will have on our never ending fight to defend our 2nd ammement rights.

Agreed. Any comment is just going to pour fuel on someone's fire.

I have seen this kind of hatred in other countries, the world is shrinking, and ideas can spread so easily from any corner of the world, both positive and negative. There is barbarism around the world that we have not seen in the US, very few Americans have ever seen, and it is being imported here. Unfortunately, groups like AQ, ISIL, etc don't need direct contact, they only need to inspire hatred. The really difficult part is unless we want to live in a police state, these types of things will happen. Whether it is by gun, explosive, or otherwise.

Prayers for all those affected and that when this type of horrific event occurs, it brings people together, rather than driving a wedge.
