To make Orlando Horror more frequent...

After Senator Murphy's filibuster, I hear new legislation might be considered to impose greater restrictions on access to firearms by law-abiding citizens. Is it intentional, or is he just that ignorant? The more restrictive the laws on private citizens owning guns, the greater the carnage when a serious Jihadist like Omar Mateen decides to go on a rampage.

It's almost like, "there oughta' be a law against Islamic jihadists taking guns into a gun-free night club and shooting people!"  ["Oh. There already is such a law?"] Hellooo, is this Barney Fife speaking? Or an actual U.S. Senator...Feinstein, Durbin, Kirk, Murphy?


The only legislation that should be seriously considered at this point is something to eliminate the so-called gun-free (aka fish-in-a-barrel) zones. Gun free zones are not gun-free, obviously, to terrorists. Such "zones" merely disarm good citizens. To terrorists they are return-fire-free zones.

Had there been one lawful CCW permittee for every 20 people in that night club, Omar would have been facing return fire from what, 15, 20, 25 people? It would have been over in minutes and a lot fewer people would be dead.

Senators, Representatives, President Obama...if you want to make it easier for "lone wolves" like Omar to kill, maim and terrorize, go ahead and pass more laws converting sheep dogs into sheep.

Incidentally, here is the truth about so-called "assault weapons" or "weapons of war." Read it before you regurgitate the talking points about them having "no place on our streets." As for the "no-fly list"...according to the American Civil Liberties Union, certainly no right-wing conspirator:

"The public does not know how many people are on the No Fly List, and the criteria for inclusion are so broad and vague that they inevitably ensnare innocent people engaged in First Amendment-protected speech, activity, or association. The process the government has established for people on the No Fly List to challenge their blacklisting is grossly insufficient and violates the U.S. Constitution's due process guarantee."

The "criteria for inclusion are so broad and vague that they inevitably ensnare innocent people..."  Do you think that this Administration is above nudging political opposition onto the list? How about "people who believe the 2nd amendment allows people to defend themselves until the police to arrive...they're dangerous! Put 'em on the list so they can't get a gun." What other explicit, constitutional right can be taken away from you without due process?
