What should he have done that he can do?
We'll never know what his political capital could have gotten, because Obamacare.

Remember, this had nothing to do with religion.
Uhhh, no it isn't. I'm all for gun regulation, but Happy Land killed more gays than this just with gasoline. If you want to take out a bunch of people, there are plenty of ways to do it.
Of course there are plenty of ways to do it, but taking away one of the more common and easier ones seems to be a pretty damn good place to start.
Can someone please explain to me the logic behind 1.) opposing stricter background checks for gun purchases and 2.) opposing a ban on assault rifles?

I don't care what this guy's motivation was - radical Islam, LGBT hate, mental illness, general asshole, whatever. The fact that he had access to an assault weapon is the problem.
I think the easy access to an assault weapon was part of the problem but we shouldn't overlook what his beliefs were and how he came to hold them. You can take away the gun but someone who feels it's their duty to kill gays can still find ways to kill them.

He shot close to 100 people, dude.
I know, which is why I said the easy access to an assault weapon is part of the problem. But he could have set off a bomb in the middle of the place and killed just as many people. Which is why it's important to look into the motivation- how did he come to have this hatred for gay people.

See this line gets used a lot. But for some reason, all of the people who "want to take out a bunch of people" seem to be using the same weapon. Quite a strange coincidence, very peculiar
It's a slippery slope. Do you want the Queen of England coming over here and taking your musket?
The Boston bombers didn't use the same weapon did they? The single biggest domestic mass killing before this one was a bomb wasn't it- back in the twenties. Timothy McVeigh didn't use a gun.
