Banning guns
June 19, 2016 10:49 pm

Terrorists are making their own guns now, such as the Carlo that was used in the Tel Aviv shooting. So all you will do is ensure that only terrorists will have the guns.

IN TRUMP WE TRUST

TRUMP’S OUR MAN!

we need a strong president
June 15, 2016 1:53 pm

the guy was bipolar from what i heard- why on earth would they let him have a gun
June 15, 2016 11:20 am

gun control is important, but there are laws how to get it. there are many people in america who have guns illegally so it wouldnt be safe if regular people (who passed a security test) couldnt have guns.
Also- he chose that specific club for a reason. not posting here because there are kids, but look it up.

CRAZY?
June 15, 2016 10:09 am

Nobama’s words are so meaningless. for one reason. Because he basically wants to see this country go down the drain and become a muslim country. Tragedies like these spell success to him. May he have his well earned mapoloh very soon!

trump is our best option out of the two

NOT an AR-15
June 14, 2016 4:54 pm

It turns out that no official source EVER said he had an AR-15. Not that it would have mattered if he had, since the AR-15 is no more dangerous than any other rifle, but it shows you what liars these reporters are. First they invented a blood libel against the AR-15, convincing people that it’s an assault rifle and that it’s particularly dangerous, and then every time there’s an incident they just say it was used, whether it was or not.

wow thx for sharing! i never thought of it that way

I got a thirty on a .test blame the pencil
June 14, 2016 3:57 pm

No cause the pencil was not the one that didn’t study it was the person who held the pencil a gun can be tossed left alone for a hundred years and not fire so don’t blame the gun cause the bad guys will get either way either legally or illegally so if a good dude has a gun he will kill the bad dude so if you think banning guns is a good idea than get out from under your rock you live in and face reality or stay under your rock and go for HILLIRAY 2016 And for a… Read more »

Gun control
June 14, 2016 2:35 pm

An interesting perspective on gun control: “Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06 on the deck rail. I left six cartridges beside it, then left it alone and went about my business. While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, my neighbor across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of my house. After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It… Read more »

Oh, you mean like France? Which BTW just had another terrorist attack the day after Orlando?

IF GUNS KILL
June 14, 2016 1:37 pm

SO DO CARS, KNIVES HANDS, SIDEWALKS THE LIST GOES ON AND ON DO WE BAN EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER KILLED SOMEONE? OR DO WE PUNISH PEOPLE FOR THE CRIME AND TRY TO PREVENT THEM! TIME TO BLAME THE PEOPLE

Only Trump is telling It Like it Is
June 14, 2016 1:28 pm

Keep Them Out.

Afghanistan
June 14, 2016 1:27 pm

Fox is the only station that reports that his parents immigrated from Afghanistan. The others don’t want to mention this because then people will realize that there are major issues with accepting refugees from middle eastern terror countries. The children continue the legacy.

The reason why there are no mass shootings in israel is bec the civilians also have guns.

This is horrible
June 14, 2016 12:33 pm

What has the world come to??

Why not "Ad Mosai"?
June 14, 2016 11:50 am

When tragedy strikes “one of our own,” the comments flood with cries of empathy and pain, but when it’s “the other,” we’re only concerned enough to discuss gun regulation, to think abstractly on a level of how could this directly impact us, and we seem to forget that all those murdered and maimed are somebody’s children…

Think of the great Miracles that happened when there is a shooting in Israel. Nowhere near such an amount of deaths. Boruch Hashem

He did NOT have an automatic rifle
June 14, 2016 11:38 am

“He had an automatic rifle, so nobody stood a chance,” said Jackie Smith,

Jackie Smith, whoever she is, has no idea what she’s talking about. He did not have an automatic rifle. Those are extremely expensive, and difficult to get, and are NEVER used by criminals.

And commenter #1 has no idea what he’s talking about either. Countries that try to ban guns still have mass murders. And in fact when you adjust for demographics the USA’s violent crime rate is LOWER than that of most countries, because many people have the means to protect themselves.

the rebbes comments on news
June 14, 2016 11:27 am

the man speaking at 11 minutes in said something similar to what the rebbes approach was. we as yidden and chassidim believe that there is goodness and elokus behind everything in the world and the bad is only a helem vi hester on it. so the rebbe told media personal that they owe to the world to report positive news and good news because when you always only hear bad you end up thinking “wow this world is crazy” when in essence there is so much good as we approach moshiachs era. when was the last time boy helped ol… Read more »

Who's responsible?
June 14, 2016 10:19 am

Muslim guy commits act of terror in the name of Islam.

Who’s responsible?

I’ll tell you who!

Guns, Republicans, Christians, Conservatives and “haters”.

I can’t possibly think of anyone else who would commit such a heinous act of terror.

All other religions are totally peaceful.

ISRAEL
June 14, 2016 9:04 am

when this happens in the US they use terrorist but Israel there not terrorist ?
messed up media.

49 victims
June 14, 2016 8:03 am

Perp killed.

Correct your title.

Number 1
June 14, 2016 7:27 am

You are obviously jumping to put out the usual liberat democrat agenda. This guy did not have a concealed weapons permit. He had an open carry permit that allowed him to work as a security guard. Real question is why the liberal leaning govt we had allowed him to get that permit after he was questioned twice by the FBI. The usual screaming about guns is the usual BS stories. People kill not Guns and people who are 99 percent of Moslem decent commit the vast majority of terrorist attacks in the WORLD. So stop the nonsense of gun control… Read more »

Gun control????? No!!
June 14, 2016 3:09 am

Sir in comment 1,
The assault rifle he had is already banned! The people that use guns to kill will get them anyways!! Imagine if it where easier to get a gun.. he would have been stopped before he got around to killing 50 people!!

To number 1:
June 14, 2016 2:32 am

This nutjob was a security guard. He passed a background check. He was investigated by the FBI twice. What more do you want? How did he get stopped? With a gun.
The club was a gun free zone. Now why in the world would he pick that club? My goodness! He shouldn’t have brought his guns there in the first place!
This is a horrible tragedy. Imagine if half those people had been carrying a concealed weapon? How quickly could they have taken him down rather than waiting for cops to arrive.
When seconds count, cops are only minutes away.

Guns
June 14, 2016 2:17 am

So with all this gun argument, I thought I’d weigh in. In Australia, we successfully banned guns after a mass shooting and haven’t had a mass shooting since in YEARS. But there’s way too many guns, including many unlicensed guns in the USA, and unsecure borders, that banning guns would spell disaster.

Did you already forget what happened in france

If it wasn’t a gun it could have been a bomb. Guns don’t kill people. people kill people

banning guns wont stop it
June 14, 2016 1:27 am

Criminals will always get guns. If there had been an armed guard it would have helped.

To number 1
June 14, 2016 1:26 am

It may be legal to buy these guns, but it’s still easier and cheaper to get them illegally and there all over the place, the only way to eliminate gun violence in U.S is for civilians to carry hand guns, he held the place up for 3 hours, he wasn’t shooting for 3 hours straight if someone had been armed in there it would’ve ended sooner, gun free zones are like fun zones for these terrorists, target practice…

Absolute tragedy
June 14, 2016 12:50 am

BDE this is horrible. We need to increase in our Torah learning and mitzvos, especially after Shavuos to bring moshiach right now!

Low life
June 14, 2016 12:33 am

WHAT A LOW LIFE AND BIG LOOSER!!!!!! HE’S A SICK MAN……BUT ITS NOTHING NEW TO THOSE ANIMALS…..WHAT WILL MAKE CHANGE???

and yet
June 14, 2016 12:01 am

and yet, people will continue to claim that “guns don’t kill, only people kill.” Wake up Americans – look around the world. All the other first world countries who banned guns, or have very strict laws, GOT RID OFF MASS SHOOTINGS! Yes, it’s that simple.
