On Friday singer Christina Grimmie’s was murdered in a gun-free zone in Orlando. Early this morning, at least 50 people were fatally shot at an Orlando night club — also a gun-free zone.
Since at least 1950, only slightly over 1 percent of mass public shootings have occurred where general citizens have been able to defend themselves. Police are extremely important in stopping crime, but even if they had been present at the time of the nightclub shooting, they may have had a very difficult time stopping the attack. Attackers will generally shoot first at any uniformed guards or officers who are present (the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris last year illustrates that point). Alternatively, they will move on to another place without uniformed officers. . . .

Says it all and Trump isn't shy about saying that gins in the hands of the good guys will severely hamper the bad guys and save lives.
Should be warning to everyone to carry self-protection. Don’t trust others with your security.
#happyramadan!
Gun free zone is absolutely ridiculous, it tells the perp that he is free to shoot as many as he wants and there is a good chance he will survive, liberal progressive crap that kills
If only someone had had a gun...
He probably figured that gays tend to hate guns.
Since this was a muslim terrorist shooting will we be removing all signs of islam from the public square?
Fair is fair!
You watch, Hillary will come out saying that this is the reason we need the 2nd. Amend. done away with. Secondly, if this was done by a Fundamental Christian the liberal MSM would be going nuts and be blaming all Christians as potential terrorists.
I’m sure alcohol being served in the establishment has something to do with no guns.
I myself don’t go to places where I can’t bring my gun.
When seconds count the police are only minutes away.
Hillary supporter ( registered Democrat ) kills 50 Gays!
One positive thing to come out of this is that the Pink Pistols are likely to get a LOT of new members...
This may sound a little strange but when I travel to Fl often in my inner I sense a spirit of murder hovering over the state. Creeps.me out.
Dead count will likely increase, per one guest commentator on CNN. He said the type of bullets were designed to shatter on impact and rip flesh and bone.

I'd think that, since the target of this atrocity was a nightclub, your thesis has been forcefully disproven.
Perhaps you meant guns?
I heard it was a spontaneous gathering of locals upset by recent anti-Muslim comments by Trump. Anyway...
Why, at this point, does it matter?!
What a dilemma for the Left.
Should we ban the rainbow flag to keep from irritating the Muzzies?
Of course, the right number of gins may induce one to a bit of bravery....
