Instead, maybe we should have a depth of inquiry about such things. I find it crazy that our ham-handed Feds had him in contact about ISIS contacts, but he could still get a gun? Political Correctness? The Constitution? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facts include his being investigated by the Feds, not the NRA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall some "facts" from the Boston bombing within the first few days that didn't really pan out .... and you may want to just go ahead and move this to the MC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per CNN (widely thought to be a "news" source, especially by those rejecting facts): " In the past, the FBI investigated Mateen for possibly having ties or being a sympathizer to Islamic extremism, according to a law enforcement officials and a U.S. official. " http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/12/us/orlando-shooter-omar-mateen/ So let's assume that reporting is accurate, for the sake of discussion. Or, are we against that right as well? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be a serious enough step? Yeah, because clearly this asshat would have obeyed the law that says he should have an AR. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have been able to find an AR, but that still doesn't change the fact that people shouldn't be allowed to own military weapons. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that pisses off the NRA because it limits sales and gives more power to the feds but I feel its necessary. Ar15 arent necessarily the problem here. Also mental health checks need to be seriously looked at just like regular physical is important and necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
