50 people dead but may be more as several in critical condition. A hate crime against gays. Also, word is that the shooter called 911 and pledged alliance to IS.

Personally I don't care if it is IS or not. Anyone who carries out such an act is beneath contempt.

and still America wont ban guns.
Even if they did, there is no chance they could clear the streets of them, far to many in circulation.

they say guns don't kill people, its people that kill people. take the tool of death away and people wont be killing to the same extent.

Wasn't it reported that the nut job had a bomb or suicide vest?

I guess they couldn't risk storming the place in case he blew himself and everyone else up!

Yep.......but I guess everyone going up bang all at once wouldn't have been good either, damned if you do, damned if you don't !

The outcome wasn't good either way, got to love the Pro Gun Lobby
