Terrorism experts predicted it for a very long time. It happened in a nightclub in Orlando. 50 dead, more perhaps to expire.\u00a0 The identified killer reportedly used an AR15 type rifle on the helpless victims in this gun-free zone <\/span>hunting preserve for psychopathic murderers.\u00a0 This one claimed he did it for ISIS, and ISIS has apparently confirmed that.<\/p>\n

Naturally, our President and the presumptive Democrat nominee call for gun bans for law-abiding citizens and assiduously avoid mentioning radical Islamic terrorism.<\/p>\n

There are many unanswered questions yet, and much information to come.\u00a0 There will be calls for universal background checks, even though the monster in this case had been a licensed armed security guard and was checked out extensively by FBI, who found no reason to detain or disarm him, so UBCs could not possibly have changed things in this tragic matter.<\/p>\n

Our hearts go out to victims, and our condolences go out to their bereaved next of kin.\u00a0 We witness monumental stupidity among the talking heads.\u00a0 One interviewer hears the plaintive, tearful words of a man looking desperately among the dead and wounded for his missing friend, and then asks him, \u201cHas the reality of it hit you yet?\u201d<\/p>\n

Good Lord.<\/p>\n

It is said that \u201cgun control\u201d is a 10-80-10 issue: Ten percent hard-line anti-gunners who will never change their views, ten percent of us pro-gun owners\u2019 rights people who are unlikely to change ours either, and 80% of the voters in the middle. Perhaps the blatant superficiality of the gun-banners who ignore the giant, evil elephant in the room will finally become apparent to the Eighty Percent who are watching the aftermath unfold now.<\/p>\n

An entity as powerful and wealthy as ISIS could not have funneled true assault rifles to a jihadi <\/em>in America who couldn\u2019t access weapons on his own? Did the strict gun control of France and India failed to prevent the similar atrocities recently in Paris, and in Mumbai before that? Hopefully, this is a reality the Eighty Percent will no longer be able to ignore.<\/p>\n

Let us mourn for the innocent dead, donate blood for the innocent wounded, and console their grieving loved ones, and finally awaken our nation to the realities of stopping force with force, not empty symbolism and rhetoric.<\/p>\n

Your opinions are welcome here, where I suspect we will be discussing this more for a while as the investigation reveals more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
