This may as well be an election advert for Donald Trump.
Do you ever shut the bugger up?
Get over yourself.
Why should he?
He's absolutely right.
It's all over the freaking media how this massacre has benefited Trump and will impact the election outcome over there.
It's an interesting point raised. This tragedy happens right in the middle of a heavy campaign for the next Presidency.
As for Mr. Trump being pro gun, since the saying "It's too late to close the gate after the horses have bolted"....meaning, so many people in America, so many guns, it can't be controlled like it was here in Australia, after the Port Arthur massacre, we handed in our semi auto and auto guns (pump action etc), as it was easier then, to stamp on the problem before it became too big or out of control....so since there are bolted horses in the USA all over the place, with too many gates left open, the answer is what Trump is advocating...more guns...
How would you feel if you were to live over there in the USA?
My honest opinion.....I was over in Calif USA for the first time in my life last month, and I felt this urge to want to buy a gun (for protection) for some reason, as we went hereto and thereto, knowing that they are all so gun ownership mad over there, I think I would definitely be purchasing a few if I were to live there (for protection purposes of course, and only because, I would be able to if I were a citizen of the US of A)....Okay, my second thought was, if some mass shooting happens, hopefully, the person next to me has a gun....
.....and that was my mentality whilst over there. The hubby said, being in large groups or gatherings is a worry.
We went to Disneyland, on a very heavily crowded and busy Sunday, as part of their 60th birthday. (It blew our minds how many people were there, I will never again complain about a bit of crowding or queuing in Melbourne ever again!)
The lines were long, and it took ages......and then, there are these check point, with quite a few very big hefty looking security guys....all checking our bags and us, before being allowed into the grounds. (That gave me some comfort of being in a large crowded situation, in the USA).
Was there any checking at this night club in Orlando as such, or any nightclub or large gathering for that matter? Did anyone have a gun for protection purposes, aka becoming a hero so less people are killed etc?
And the old adage of it's not guns that kill people...etc
then, what are guns made for.....machine guns or repeater guns that do the maximum damage?
So the answer to America's problem is, Trump for President now?
