This sort of thing amazes me in that they keep at this sort of thing. The perpetrator was someone that as a security guard would easily clear background checks anywhere in the United States or even in Canada (with our Possession and Acquisition Licences and Restricted Firearms classifications).

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.

Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre

Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre

Omar Mateen called the cops to pledge his fealty to ISIS as he was carrying out his mass murder in Orlando early Sunday. Twelve hours later, the president of the United States declared that “we have no definitive assessment on the motivation” of Omar Mateen but that “we know he was a person filled with hate.”

So I guess the president thinks Mateen didn’t mean it?

Here again, and horribly, we have an unmistakable indication that Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a reality he doesn’t like — the reality of the Islamist terror war against the United States and how it is moving to our shores in the form of lone-wolf attacks.

He called it “terror,” which it is. But using the word “terror” without a limiting and defining adjective is like a doctor calling a disease “cancer” without making note of the affected area of the body — because if he doesn’t know where the cancer is and what form it takes, he cannot attack it effectively and seek to extirpate it.

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.
