"ban 30 round magazines"
Yes, because it would have taken the Orlando maniac about 30 seconds longer to kill 50 people with 10 round magazines rather than 30 round ones.
Morons, I have a 100 round magazine for an AR15 , magically it has never attached itself to any of my weapons and then proceeded to kill anyone.
This will (no doubt) cause a great deal of consternation to the liberal left, but consider this: rather than cower on their knees, or running like sheep, had these "men" merely rushed the shooter, there would have been far less death. Sure, he would have gotten a few, but 300 people could have EASILY rushed him and taken him down. All it takes is the will to live and the guts to stand.
I've ran towards gun fire. I was trained to do so, the government spent a LOT of money training me to fight that very basic instinct to run FROM gunfire.
IT's completely unrealistic to have expected these people to have done so , especially considering many of them were probably intoxicated AND their sexuality had no bearing on that fact. There was literally no reason for you to put "men" in quotes. I've known quite a few gay men over the years who were some of the braver men I've ever known. Who cares who they have sex with.
I was trained extensively as well. Training and "fight or flight" have nothing to do with each other. There were an estimated 300 people in this club. This seize lasted hours. Plenty of time to decide whether you are going to stand by and watch your friends, and yourself murdered, while you do nothing, or to decide that the time to stand is now.
"men" was in quotes to differentiate them from "sheep".
there are some things in this world that we cannot control. For example, people on the Titanic knew they would most likely perish and, for the most part, accepted their fates.
300 people in a nightclub, against one man with a gun is a no brainer. That is, unless you have lived your life as a sheep.
I'm not blaming those who died. I'm saying that it was a situation where grown men COULD have tried to end the situation, unlike Sandy Hook where the shooter was murdering babies.
The people in that place had drank the democrat kool-aid. Otherwise it would be impossible to get 100 victims in a night club hosting 300. After this incident, gays should be abandoning the democrat plantation in droves for all the lies.
