[QUOTE=Sandtrap328;1240110]Of course, Mateen could not be deported. He was born in New York.

Obviously, the gun issue is a big issue. This was a preplanned attack by him. He bought the pistol and rifle just a few days ago. A several day waiting period with full background check MIGHT have prevented the tragedy. The background check MIGHT have revealed the FBI check as well as the domestic abuse issue. How did he get and keep gun permits with domestic abuse issues and be selected for a job as an armed guard?
High capacity magazines are another issue to think about. The AR-15 style .223 has a 20 round magazine. Taped back to back makes 40 rounds. What civilian needs a 20 round magazine?

Off the soapbox now. Rocky and the Rollers were excellent tonight.[/Q


Unfortunately you will always blame the gun!
It is the sick, racist, deviant mind of a maniac who killed these people. The gun was a tool - yes! If it was a bomb what would you have banned?

Please - I have owned numerous guns for over 40 years. NEVER even aimed it at someone. I am proficient with it and basically just enjoy shooting. Would I hesitate to defend my family with it? HELL NO!

Stop blaming the gun and blame the morons who just want to kill for NO reason!
