I don't jest, this is usually their straight faced response

Thing is, there was an armed, uniformed police officer right outside the club who initially exchanged fire with the assailant before he retreated inside the venue, leading to a protracted 3-hour standoff / hostage situation. Back-up units were a couple of minutes away. So no, the NRA will be spouting bullocks as per.

It does sound increasingly like a gay-related hate crime:

NBC news say they have spoken to the father of the suspected gunman by phone.

The man said: "We are saying we are apologising for the whole incident. We weren't aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country.

"This had nothing to do with religion."

He added his son "got very angry when he saw two men kissing" months before in Miami.

Some ridiculous anti-American attitudes on this thread. US gun laws are obviously ridiculous but Brighton and Hove goes on about its cosmopolitan culture. It isn't reflected here. Small minded and glibly unaware of the danger of extreme Islamism.

Not according to the FBI, he was on their radar previously.

They were concerned he may have radical Islamist leanings. So everything to do with religion or his warped take on it anyway.

The gunman was a Muslim who rang the police and pledged allegiance to Islamic State. There are eleven Islamic countries - combined population 100 million - where homosexuality is punishable by death. A Florida imam has said that gays must be killed. Not too hard to see what's happened here.

Yet another terrorist attack inspired the religion of peace, one of over a hundred this year: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_January–June_2016

Not anti-American, anti the NRA, the lobbying group financed by the likes of Smith & Wesson, whose shareholders are celebrating a 61% rise in sales in the first quarter of 2016.

There's money to be made out of fear, death and stupidity.

Gun laws didn't help the people of Paris on two recent and notable occasions.
