This country is awash in guns. We just witnessed the most horrific shooting in US History. Do you realize how significant that is? This was a hate crime, don't let the right tell you differently. 103 people were attacked because of their sexuality. Peace be with victims and their families.

Whether it's a hate crime or Muslim terrorism does not matter.
It was a slaughter and who knows what was in the killer's mind?

I tend to place the massive genocide of our Native American Indians a mass shooting of disastrous proportion.
