Exactly. The guy reportedly called 911 to declare his allegiance to ISIS. But targeting a gay nightclub is no coincidence either.

Well if you watch this clip, you will see it's being hijacked to make it an IS attack by a Muslim. Not an attack on the LGBT. This campaigner is getting interviewed and actually walks off the set cos the two anchors bullshit

Of course it was an attack on gay people, but again, dime it can be both. ISIS is anti-gay.

Especially chilling is the accounts of after the massacre the club being quiet except for the cell phones of the dead. :cry:

It sounds like ISIS is kind of like Anonymous in that they can take credit for anything and anyone can just decide they're a member

It was clearly radical Islam related, and his daddy was a huge taliban supporter. Trying to make it solely a gun control issue, especially after what happened in France, is moronic.

Right yes but the systems in place that failed here and the lessons that can most immediately be gleaned from it have to do with gun control. It makes perfect sense to bring these issues to the forefront of the national conversation because there are things that can be done to fix it, not just angry fist-shaking

To be fair there are people saying this has nothing to do with Islam which feels a bit disingenuous at best

The NRA are fucking master manipulators. Its angering that "we need to talk about gun control" and "common sense gun laws" is filtered towards the rednecks as "OBAMA IS COMING TO TAKE YER GUNS FUCK YOU WOOO!"
