So true.

I fully don't understand why Americans can accept the NRA, which is basically a mafia organization, as an extra branch of government. Isn't the whole point of the Second Amendment to revolt against tyranny? The NRA seems pretty tyrannical.

If he EASILY bought one, he violated the law. Full-auto weapons cannot be purchased in the USA without a full and detailed background check, an ATF license costing $250, a designated, licensed gun dealer who will take possession of the weapon at your death, and you can't actually own a NEW one, so you have to buy an OLD automatic weapon, which in good condition will cost you 10-20x what an actual new one will due to the market forces.

That ain't easy.

So if we can't enforce the laws that already exist, what makes anyone think new laws will make a difference? The new ones will magically be enforced better?

He was a security guard on a government service, to have a weapon and a permission to carry it around was a part of his job.

This tragedy reaches far beyond either Orlando or Puerto Rico. The lady in the video now lives in Australia but she used to work at Universal Studios Theme Park.

An aside, the victim Robin speaks of was also tweeted about by JK Rowling. Yes, the lady who wrote the Harry Potter series.

These sort of guns wouldn't be available here.

I think with mental illness it needs to be 'picked up' more quickly. With all the publicity recently in my country, I'm thinking we need to be taught how to recognise it earlier.

He apparently was born in New York, right here in the U S of A. So he was definitely a domestic terrorist, we don't need those fancy, imported terrorists: we're more than capable of killing ourselves without others getting involved.

It feels like the whole world is saying 2+2=4 and the NRA says nope, 2+2=5.

That guy was mental. You can see it in his eyes.

One club patron with a concealed pistol could have stopped him.

Still think the gun laws we already have are a good idea?
