How about a filibuster against terrorists and the importation of more of them? How about a filibuster until the government begins to acknowledge that there is a direct link between terrorism and Islam?
As an aside, I should acknowledge that I first heard of this story on Jim Quinn’s show this morning.
Another gun free zone is the scene of a mass murder. Sober people should be allowed to carry in a bar.
As for the politicians all they want to do is disarm the law abiding citizens who demand a law abiding government. Never let a crisis go to waste.
An obvious Islamaphobe, How dare he suggest that Infidels be allowed to stop Peaceful Muslims from practicing their deeply held religious beliefs. They have every right to Eradicate Gays and Non Muslims. Just ask Obama.
I think the suicide vest was a sham designed to give the murderer time to aim.
“Don’t attack me or I’ll set off this bomb! In the meantime, let me fire some more rounds into people.”
It is a strategy that must be overcome.
I remember some of the old western Tv shows in which a gun toting rifleman would be setting above a bar looking for troublemakers.
And the barkeep always had a shotgun handy.
A father with plain old COMMON SENSE!!!! May God Bless him through his loss !!!!
Like the one-in-a-thousand gay pastors that get wall-to-wall MSM coverage, you won’t hear a peep in the MSM from this poor guy.
The liberals want to make the whole country a gun free zone.

It’s too bad Florida rejected a bill for open carry. A couple of security guys with AR-15s slung over their shoulders would have kept the peace in that night club.
That might slow their business down for a while but patrons would get used to it and realize the benefit of it. As long as they hired professionals there would be no problems.
First, they prevent law abiding victims from shooting back, ensuring higher body counts.
Second, they create magnet zones for criminals and terrorists. There is a reason that nearly all mass shootings occur in "gun free zones" and never at gun shows, gun stores or shooting ranges.
Thank you Sir, for your commonsense.
I'm just a former aviation swabbie with no combat experience, but knowing a couple SEALS and Marines and some experience at the shooting range, I will say this:
Bill Clinton continues to be an absolute ass when he says, "Do you know how dark in was inside there?" No, it's NOT dark. Actually, nightclubs have numerous lighting systems and I've never been to one that I couldn't see across the room. NEVER. I even owned 24% of a nightclub in Reno called American Bandstand.
Secondly, he has know idea about muzzle flash. Yes, the monster did move around, but if just a few were packing they could have followed the flash and sound and maybe stopped it. Yes, there could have been friendly fire casualties, but it would have been less than what occurred.
It would be great if there were no guns or weapons in the world and we sang Kumbaya, but the US is a gun culture (rightfully so) and the world is full of really bad people. If the idiot liberals were to make guns sales illegal tomorrow, there would still be millions of gun owners and millions upon millions of ammo, not to mention black-market imports. Ever hear them talk about that?
Solutions:
1. Give every one a CCW who passes the background check. How many of those who have such kill people? What? None?
2. Put a sign in every school, mall, public place that says, THIS IS NOT A GUN FREE ZONE.
3. Let all Muslim jihadists know that when deaded that they will be buried with pork entrails.
Even without an armed patron...all that glass, and presumably a fire extinguisher or two, maybe a fire hose, numerous chairs, and at least a hundred men. I don’t understand how he managed to shoot so many without interference.
Apparently someone else in that club did have a gun. First reports in the news were that an off duty police officer was present, with one mention that he was club security. He returned fire and caused Mateen to retreat to that bathroom with hostages-that is- he took hostages rather than killing them. He would not have done that did he not face another gun. The officer probably prevented further fatalities as the hostages were not killed by Mateen and he had a restricted field of fire from that bathroom.
The little cowards don't like it when people can shoot back. In this way radical islamists are like black street gangs. Lots of swagger against people who can't defend themselves - cowardly confronted with those who can..
If we think the gay nightclub slaughter was bad - think what it's going to be when it's an elementary school with 600 dead children.
Train bartenders, teachers, principals in gun usuage... Armed and knowledgeable citizens change the islamic equation.
