Was the night club a GUN FREE ZONE?

Florida law prohibits a person from carrying a firearm in any establishment that serves alcohol. Don't blame the night club.

I read a post there (DU) a couple of hours ago when this was all breaking, before the guy was dead, that reported that the authorities were looking for an Arabic translator

Obviously no group should be mowed down by a murderer, but the government will probably milk the homophobic angle rather than the Islamic threat and set up even more programs to celebrate homosexuality rather than protecting us from the influx of unvetted Syrian refugees.

Gays, as a group, have been supporting Islamists, whom they regard as a fellow group of “outsiders.” Like most people, gays as a group are idiots.

it’s CNN. It happened here, so yes, technically it’s domestic terror, but with a jihadist bent (which won’t be mentioned).

Yes, can not blame the night club specifically, but it is obvious most mass shootings take place in gun free zones such as schools, university campuses, movie theaters, even military places where soldiers are not allowed to carry guns. Common sense dictates that with 300 million guns in private hands in United States, gun free zones are open invitation to terrorists and psycho’s.

I very seriously doubt anyone on this forum is surprised.
I honestly expect this type thing to increase exponentially.

“How do we blame this on Trump?”

And the Tea Party.

Hillary is prolly already on the way. Will stage press conf. in front of Pulse. Rant against guns, homophobia, Islamophobia then hug and comfort survivors.

Well of course. I’m sure when the lyin’ king speaks, which he will undoubtedly do, he’ll assure American that this is in no way related to the religion of peace. Just some mad man with easy access to military weapons. Right? Maybe he’ll be joined by kelly-giffords and gabby. Traitor patreus would be there but he’s too busy at the build-a-burger confab with other elites plotting against freedom.

So is Drudge. The mainstream media will not be able to keep the identity and religion of the perpetrator bottled up.

Not a white Christian but a Muslim terrorist.

“Their main dilemma; “How do we blame this on Trump?””

You nailed it.

It will be a real problem for the liberals if Muslims start killing homosexuals in the U.S. Two mascot minorities in conflict. Who to choose?

I'm always surprised when it doesn't happen in the malls at Christmas time.
