There was a stunning moment on today’s Morning Joe, when Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson was stumped when asked a simple question. With all the brouhaha over gun control in the wake of the Orlando massacre, what law could have stopped Omar Mateern?
It was, of all people, Sam Stein of the Huffington Post who asked the killer question. Stein pointed out that Mateen was not on the no-fly or terrorist watch list, and had passed a background check. “So what is the actual legislative response” that would have stopped the Orlando attack? Johnson resorted to claiming that Congress had “a lot of ideas,” but could not name one that would have made a difference. He also repeatedly recited the new mantra: gun control is a matter of homeland security. Bottom line: the Dem clamor for gun control is a political stunt. It’s about increasing vote totals, not public safety.

That’s because the answer is to be found in POLITICAL CHICANERY NOT GUN CONTROLS: STOP POLITICAL SCRUBBING
Terrorism is about the evil mind, not the tool to carry out the evil intent.
No gun?
Rent a Ryder truck, pack it with explosive and 80 MPH blast into that night club and detonate.
Never mind that’s already been done in Oklahoma City.
Jeh Johnson could not spell cat even if you spotted him the “C” and the “T”.
Jeh Johnson ,the Total Failure at the Job
Johnson was picked by Obama. Yes he is a muslim.
His wearing of the American flag pin is a form of lying in the name of islam.
1. You have to be a woman or a minority or even better, both.
2. You have to be able to endlessly spout liberal nonsense.
3. You don't mind looking galactically stupid on national television.
4. You have absolutely no shame.
Maybe they should pass laws against murder.
Or theft. Or bank robbery.
Or maybe they should grow a brain and start looking at the perpetrators and what is the common denominator.
Orlando killing, Ft. Hood, Army recruiter in Arkansas, San Diego, 9/11.
By the way, does anyone know the whereabouts of Major Hassan? He has been kept alive for a long time compared to the swift justice that came to Timothy McVeigh.
This guy is worthless (just like Joe Scarborough).
Who knows....but we do know hes black so that qualifies him for the job in the Obama administration...
Muslim-American ,is that a New Race ?
For Libs, ‘A’ has nothing to do with ‘B’.
Regardless of the ‘motive’ of a shooter, the Libs will always reinterpret it to further their narrative, their agenda.

The Orlando shooting did reveal one thing: the Libs (media, politicians, commentators, etc.) threw the GLBT faction under the bus in favor of the ‘radical Islamist jihadist’ faction.
Ummm, theres an easy answer to his quandry, one Im sure he kows but wont speak. ‘Gun Control’ isnt about keeping anyone safe. Its only goal is to inncrementally disarm Americans. The end is to completely illiminate gun ownership for all but favored groups.
No, but you could name the islamic ban that could have prevented this.

Sure: ban Muslims, with minor exceptions for distinguished scientists, scholars, etc., until we can effectively vet them.
Well well well.
