If it was radical Islam, why did he talk to the SWAT team, or why did it take so long for the situation to end?

Jumping to conclusions is short sited and may miss the entire rational. Do not assume anything.

Meanwhile, in Chicago alone this weekend 4 were killed (that's actually really good!) with 32 wounded. The shock and outrage over this mass murder in Orlando is justified, but before we throw the baby out with the bathwater we should remember many more people die every week in drunk driving, gang violence, suicide and overdoses. Nor should we forget that domestic terrorism, in all its forms, is a far bigger issue than what might be slipping through our borders.

I can 't find the exact article or whether it's actually true or not.

Not sure why it has to be one or the other, we should address all of these issues.

I know its a nice Rambo daydream, but a fucking trained cop couldn't stop him, what makes you think your mad skills could.

queencitybuckeye;1799002 wrote:Interesting, seeing as the best estimates (FBI) are that 200-250 people successfully protect themselves and/or others using a firearm daily. A fair-minded press might be interested in pointing out that statistic (and why the gun grabbers invent false reasons to deny it). Can't imagine why we never see that side of the story on a news broadcast.

We need stronger background checks for guns and a ban on assault rifles. There's no way a guy on the FBI list as a terrorist sympathizer should ever be allowed to buy guns.
