If a bus with enough Americans on it crashed into a tree, ISIS would try to claim they planted the damn tree, I'm with Nightmoon on this, given the report from the guys partner saying he was mentally ill, his parents saying he was a homophobe I mean... it seems like the reason he done the attack is pretty clear.
As for this story... it's awful, just a terrible reason to hate other humans because of who they love, I mean could there be a more disgusting reason to kill someone? over their love of others, I mean... it's just the lowest of the low really.
As for calls for more gun laws? I'm fairly certain there are laws in place which clearly state you shouldn't go in a club, hold people hostage and murder others around you.... this person was mentally ill and was breaking laws to murder people... if there was another law which said he shouldn't break the laws he was breaking by using a gun... he would have just been breaking another law, it would not have stopped this.

Isn't that an issue though? How did a mentally ill guy get a gun in the first place? There should definitely be some controls in place that makes that much harder to happen. Sure maybe he would have found a gun illegally anyway, but it would have been harder and there's a chance he could have been caught while trying to illegally obtain a gun as well.

True enough it might well have had some chance of making it more difficult for him to get the weapon... but still, if someone has the desire in their heart to do something like this, a law isn't going to stop them for very long I think.
