If the shooter doesn’t represent all Muslim’s why does he represent all gun owners?

Aside from the echo chamber Free Republic is (and I think it is a GREAT echo chamber, BTW), what are everyday citizens thinking?

So, I did a little survey this morning here at my university campus and here’s what others are saying; almost to a man/woman. Mind you, these are actually professors, lecturers, staff, and students. Black and white. As follows:

The opinion of most is every time something like this happens, they feel MORE vulnerable if they don’t own a gun. Many, many bought their first gun after some incident like this, whether it was Columbine all the way up to the last shooting before this one Saturday late night.

To me, this says the democrats are really not even seeing the pulse of the electorate, and their demand for gun restrictions is causing the average person to feel LESS secure, not more.

And this is why gun control fails every time Obama and comrades try to impose it every time there’s such a shooting.

I can only hope it leads to less votes for them in November.

Trump is being handed the election on a silver platter thanks to Obama, Hillary, Dem elected officials, and the Liberal Media ignoring the fact that we are at war with ISIS on our own turf.

a darn good question. I have proposed that very question to my liberal co-workers.

their stuttering and blank looks were eerily similar to bozo’s reaction when losing his teleprompter last week.

brain dead idiot morons, all of them

“So, I did a little survey this morning here at my university campus..”

Astounding.

Whatever campus you are describing does not reflect what the majority of college campus thought is today.

The propaganda party line from MSM is this:

The victims haven’t even been buried yet and these people are dancing on their graves.

Just look at them, all idiots. This is the best we can do?

My campus has all these GUN FREE zone signs on every building. As people were talking about Orlando over their morning coffees and lattes, I reminded them of the sign and how vulnerable we’d all be if some terrorist decided this wood be a good place to mimic Omar Manteen.

Several shook their heads and spouted off in anger about what a dumb policy it was. They asked If I carried anyway (knowing I’m a gun advocate) I said, “What, me break the university by-laws?” ;-)

Those are the SJW who are on propaganda alert 24/7 for the Left. What you quote is the OFFICIAL party line.

It’s not what the rank and file are REALLY saying; yes, even at a university.

All Russians used to profess communism and solemnly go to the May Day parades, but inside, except for the fat and happy party elites, they hated it.

My university is very much like the Soviet Union, circa 1980.

“I can remember reading about how California laws basically permitted Patrick Purdy in 1989 to buy his firearms legally and pass the required backchecks and waiting periods of the time as he had had the criminal charges for violent behaviour pressed against him either greatly reduced or plea bargained away. Yet the horrible thing he did in Stockton in 1989 became yet another Alamo for gun prohibitionists at the time like this recent event.”

Yes, but as this is being written, the loony RATs here in the CA Legislature are drafting yet another bill to ban “assault weapons.” And probably this time, Jerry The Fairy will sign them.

Obama just minutes ago at his press conference stated exactly:

“This was ‘Homegrown Extremism’”

And

“We have been thwarted by Congress, which has allowed easy access to guns.”

I must have missed the part where he said that this was Islamic Terrorism........sarc

Let me see if I have this right:

American Citizens are being attacked and murdered by Muslims that Democrats have brought into this country, and in a effort to fix this problem, Democrats want to not only bring in more Muslims but they also want to disarm all American Citizens.
