Orlando Victims Did Not Die Because They Were Gay--They Were Unarmed!

Tomorrow I plan to visit a gun store(s) to add one or two firearms to my collection.
This retired state worker can afford to since I inherited some money.
Thinking of a 9mm carbine since some day it may be very hard to find or afford .223-cal AR15 ammo.
Thinking 9mm and .38-cal. ammo will hopefully always be out there somewhere.
I will build up my ammo hoard regardless.
Left over from my corrections career and semi-retired security guard days, I have three revolver speed loaders that will hold preferable .357 Magnum rounds as well as .38s.
The revolver I seek fires both like one I used to have before I traded it for a .45 I no longer have either.
PC old dino ain't.
I even keep both a shotgun and a Bible in reach my bed. Not to mention six inches of steel in an old-fashioned Italian switchblade.
Obama has to hate how I cling to certain things. What can I say?
I'm just an old dino. And allosaurs were North Americans.

    I heard the audio when SWAT caught up to this guy. Sounded like a popcorn machine. The medical examiner must have needed a wet vac.

    As I watched reports of this tragedy on the news I noticed all the victims were in 100% compliance with liberal gun control policy. That is they were totally unarmed and virtually at the mercy of whatever murderous evil came through the door. Of course, murderous evil has no mercy.

    Interesting story.
    The safety on my pocket pistol is all that keeps a cocked hammer from dropping behind a chambered round.

    The death toll would have been ALOT higher if the perp had 2 AT500 Mossberg pump shotguns and a sack full of double ought buck. 8 round capacity, 240 32 cal projectiles in 6 seconds. I have been up against pump shotguns in my career and I would prefer not to repeat that at my current age.

    I'll be practicing this afternoon, but I will continue to build up ammo I can get to both at home and in my car.

    When the government takes your right to defend your self you are no longer a citizen, you have become a subject.

    This retired corrections officer who at times worked death row agrees with every word you wrote.
    Oh, each inmate on death row gets his own color TV due to some class action.
    This is supposed to help them keep up with stuff that may pertain to their particular death sentence being dragged out on appeal, on appeal, on appeal . . .

    I had a half dozen Hi-Points (.40 and .45 cal) and every one of them functioned flawlessly and the guns were accurate. Of course, they are huge and not designed for carrying, but as an inexpensive nightstand gun, they work well. If you can afford a better gun, buy one, but if not, a $150 Hi Point will do the job.

    Many are the Jews who vote Democrat.
    When I saw activist libtards of the Occupy Movement carrying anti-Jew signs, I was all like "WHAT?!?!?"

    I'd really like to hear a news story about a Muslim terrorist who pulls a gun, shouts "Allahu Ak...."
    and gets his head blown off before he can get out the "bar" part of it. That would be my definition of winning the war on terror.

    Yeah! 69-year-old dino grew up in in the then Democrat dominated segregated Alabama.
    My dad bought gas from an old-fashioned just a gas station where your oil and water got checked and your windshield got wiped. The drivier did not even have to get out of his car.
    That gass station was run by a Klansman with Klan literature pasted all over the place inside.
    At least he was nice enough to have a restroom for "COLORED."
    As a kid on a hot day and at just about any gas station anywhere, I really felt sorry for black people when I got to drink ice water from a fountain set beside a water fountain only for tap water.
    My ice water fountain was marked "WHITES ONLY" while the other had that "COLORED" sign again.
    During 1970 I shared canteen water with a black Marine. Even drank after him. That was a first.

    No, of course they didn't die because they were gay. No one is saying that! What a ridiculous straw man.
    They were targeted because they were gay, however. And the only people talking about that are those within the LGBTQ community and religious wackos who say it's a good thing my friends are dead.
    If any of you think that, keep it to yourself. You are the problem.

    Sure. Some of the first gun control laws passed in the States were for this reason; part of South Carolina's Reconstruction-era "Black Codes," if memory serves.

    But that had nothing to do with the NRA.

    If Islam came out with an announcement that the 72 virgins is not available for terrorists, that might work too !!

    Very likely fewer innocent people would have died had someone been armed and had the courage to take out the shooter at the risk of his or her life. But please remember that being armed is not the answer unless you are willing to commit to using it. It also helps if you have some training because no matter what you see in fiction, it isn't easy to hit something with a handgun, especially a moving target. That being said, the odds would be better if everyone, or almost everyone was carrying. If two or three shooters were present, there's little doubt the bad guy would likely be painfully discouraged. I have no doubt that Dino would do well, because he's a cranky curmudgeon like me.

    I heard on my car radio that the back exit was padlocked and the only way out was past the shooter.
    Later on my PC I saw a photo of holes knocked open by police through a cinder block wall during that three-hour nightmare.

    Partly right. The primary weapons on both sides were muzzle-loading percussion muskets, but most of them were not smoothbores. They were rifled muskets that used a hollow-based, slightly undersized conical bullet (one example of which is known as the 'Minie ball') to expedite loading. That was one of the reasons Lee's Napoleonic charge at Gettysburg failed; the tactic was intended for use against smoothbore muskets and solid shot cannon, not rifled muskets accurate to 300+ yards and cannon firing exploding shells and case shot. Look up the 1861 Springfield rifle-musket for an example.

    I recall the primary firearm used by both sides of the Civil War as being a muzzle-loaded smooth-bore musket that would only fire if the hammer had a percussion cap to hit.
    Smooth-bores could be ramrod loaded faster than muzzle-loaded rifles but were less accurate due to its lack of rifling.
    Smooth-bores were to be fired as fast as possible into standing enemy ranks with both sides using a "Napoleonic" style of fighting that made the Civil War the bloodiest war in USA history.
    Just felt moved to bring that up.

    A few years back a man opened fire at a shopping mall out west. I was surprised only 2 people were killed and the story went away quickly. It turned out a patron didn't know it was a gun free zone and had his concealed carry pistol with him. He pulled it but left the safety on. He was afraid he would hit an innocent bystander. When the gunman saw him he turned his gun on himself. No telling how many lives were saved.
