One Year After Pulse, America Remains Morally Bankrupt (Blame Guns)
Huffington Post ^ | 6/12/2017 | Christopher Walker, Contributor

Posted on 06/13/2017 12:33:53 PM PDT by theBuckwheat

It’s hard to imagine that it’s been one year since the tragic events that befell attendants at Pulse, a gay bar in Orlando, where a disturbed individual and terrorist opened fire upon patrons, killing 49 people and then himself. I, as a gay man, was shocked at the sheer carnage of the incident and believed it was a personal attack upon me and my people.... The time for a respectable, adult discussion for combatting gun violence has long since passed. Let us not wait for the next Orlando or Dallas before we start this whole cycle over again."

Not only that, which I agree with, but the U.N. and other players would love nothing more.

LOL! Meanwhile, I shot about 500 rounds last week without a single fatality.

"...bowl of poisoned Skittles candy..."


Leftwingers absolutely hate this accurate and valid comparison.
They know darn well that 99.99% of decent Americans would never take that chance. Even if offered $1M to assume the risk.
It is a comparison that I use very frequently because it paints such a clear picture of what we face as a nation.

I saw it as an attack on American people.

But others had an antiChristian drum to beat (Obama blamed the attack on opponents of same sex marriage even though he himself had opposed it as a political position, saying ‘god is in the mix’.).

The shooter was bi and didn’t hide it from his wife. He was also an Obama voter who disliked Obama’s bombing campaign against Iraq and Syria. He knew the layout of the bar.

America is not morally bankrupt. America is awake, ascendant, morally and spiritually healthy, and in full support of President Trump.

The Left is morally bankrupt.

The Left is sick and thoroughly suffused with moral and cultural rot.

Conflicted Muslim Terrorist With Repressed Homosexual Desires Slaughters 49 Lesbians And Homosexuals

Democrats blame it on the the Second Amendment!

This perverted thinking all dates back to the era of FDR and the National Firearms Control Act of 1934.

That planted the seed of progressive thought that it is the inanimate tool (guns) that are to blame for gun violence - not the criminal.

Some of the major gun control legislation passed by the federal government:

Basically all that has been accomplished is to make certain types of firearms, ammunition and suppressors ('silencers') illegal or difficult to purchase by law abiding citizens, and to justify the existence of the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives).

In fiscal year 2015 ATF had 5,026 employees, and a budget of $1.2 billion dollars.

But criminals still seem to have all the guns they want.

In 2016 Chicago, where guns are basically illegal, had 3,550 shooting incidents, 4,331 shooting victims, and 762 murders.

This is the writing of a disordered mind. Check the box next to “clinically insane.”

If only one or two of “his people” had been packing heat when the Jihadi launched his mission then, maybe, they would still be packing fudge today.

Meanwhile a million or so Americans have used guns to defend themselves. But who cares about that?
