Calling for more gun control in the wake of mass shootings has become the norm for the president, politicians, and pundits alike—and Orlando has been no different. This time, however, a more surprising face has joined the bandwagon: Fox News’ Gretchen Carlson.
“Yes, the Orlando massacre was terror,” she said, “But there’s no doubt that Omar Mateen was able to kill so many people because he was firing an AR-15, a military style assault weapon, a weapon easier to buy in the state of Florida than buying a handgun.”
Let’s break for a moment here to point out that right off the bat her facts are wrong. Mateen did not use an AR-15 in the attack, as Matt explained on Tuesday.
Anyway, Carlson went on to assure viewers she’s in favor of “people being able to carry,” but as for semi-automatic weapons, not so much, it seems.

He came at closing time so they probably didn’t check him.
I believe he began outside and then rushed in,not 100% though
Fanatical savages who would willingly put a bomb vest on their babies, and who would shoot their mother just to prove loyalty, and who would slice their brother’s neck if he converted to Christianity are NOT going to respect any ban on weapons.
Nah. Much easier to infringe on our rights than try to dig up backgrounds on people that have NO records. Yeah, bring ‘em in I’m sure it will be just fine.
BS
Maybe you didn’t’ see the nterview with the Easter egg guy. He said he learned to wear tight pants after his first. I it to Pulse.

This is why I’m now watching news and podcasts on YouTube instead of TV News.
There are some reports that he shot the security guard and then entered, but, additionally, the Sig MCX is very modular and has multiple configurations including very short ones. I haven't seen any articles describing what configuration he used.
Can’t really say the last time we watched any tv news of any flavor. Kinda went sour when wally concrete told us we were fini in VN.
the club was a GUN FREE ZONE

Time to buy some more AR15 receivers.
There is no such thing as a "trusted member of the government." They are all arms-length strangers. If you are in the government, you are part of the "us" group, with everybody else being "them." Reverse the labels for people who are subject to the whims of the government people.
Even my opening can be reversed, to the government, there is no such thing as a "trusted member of the public."
I think I need one of each....before the wimps in congress revoke our rights. The 2nd amendment is not for hunting or self defense although those things are benefitted by it. The second amendment was for citizens to protect themselves from their own government. I should be able to own any weapon a soldier uses. Shall not be infringed. Period

I guess Gretchen has forgotten 9/11.
Over 3000 Americans were killed by Moslem terrorists with AIRPLANES.
Does she also want to ban airplanes?
No, just buildings taller than 2 stories.
The Orlando murderer drove 120 miles to conduct his attack.
If there were no automobiles, then he couldn’t have done it.
Does she want to outlaw automobiles as well?
