"Thanks to the gun lobby, the unhinged aren’t just waiting with Bible in hand to harangue strangers in the street anymore. They now have the means to be the Right Hand of God’s Wrath.
Easy availability of firearms with big, easily swapped out magazines made the mass murder in Orlando possible.
Religions scapegoating sexual minorities and the politicians who pander to them made it probable.
The NRA made it profitable."
Yes Yes Yes Yes...and what will happen? Regardless of who becomes president this year, this issue will NOT be touched with a 10-foot pole, at least in the first term. A lot more killings and a lot more gun-crazed idiots will be out there "protecting themselves from the bad people" in America. As much as terrorism is frightening, these people are far worse for me and I am glad to be away from them. And I don't care who I anger now about it - the second amendment NEEDS to be modified and NO ONE except law enforcement, military and licensed professional hunters needs a gun (along with psychological evaluations on a periodic basis) of any kind unless they want to go back to muskets.
