The Orlando Massacre- A Couple of What Ifs

What if even one of the federal authorities who interviewed the mass murderer prior to the Orlando massacre had a brain in their heads? What if someone in that nightclub had a concealed weapon which could have been used to defend themselves when the rag-head went berserk? These are important questions that should be answered by the authorities and politicians who run this country. First the brain issue. Less we forget, a relatively low level female working for the FAA in Minneapolis concluded that something was a little fishy when she observed that the 9/11 rag-heads who were attending aviation classes there had no interest in learning how to land an airplane, they were only interested in learning how to fly them. When she brought this concern to the attention of her superiors they simply ignored her and, as a result, over 3000 people died. Just a smidgen of common sense by these mid-level bureaucrats might have avoided this disaster. Similarly, the feds had interviewed the most recent lunatic rag-head three times since 2013 and did nothing. During this time they also ignored numerous complaints from the ISIS murderer's associates who told them, in no uncertain terms, that this guy was as nutty as a fruit cake and a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off. Again the authorities did nothing but sit back and suck their collective thumbs! You have to ask yourself, when will these overpaid incompetent federal employees be held accountable for their negligence and lack of good sense? When will they start employing some kind of reasonable judgment, including racial profiling, to assure public safety? Let me assure you, the simple minded, time consuming screening of white grandmas and grandpas at airports is not the answer! Rather, it is an example of the stupidity of ruling class! Now, to the second and more important issue. How do we minimize the carnage at these increasingly more frequent ISIS terrorist attacks? Forty nine dead and a similar number wounded and scared for life, certainly we can do better. At this point in time, given the present liberal administration, eliminating the radical Muslim element from society is not feasible, so we must concentrate on reducing the damage caused by their irrational attacks on innocent civilians. For the same reason we have fire exits in large buildings and stairs in place to allow exit if the elevators malfunction during a disaster, we need to arm those working in the public sector, not disarm them as is the goal of most of the witless wonders running our country. There should be armed guards or, better yet, armed teachers, in every school, no exceptions. The pilots on all commercial airline should be armed as well as a significant number of their cabin attendants. All large establishments such as restaurants, nightclubs, grocery outlets and sporting events should have armed employees at the ready as well. They should be trained to shoot to kill and ask questions later! Finally, an of equal importance, we should encourage liberal gun carry laws in every state. Anyone who does not have a criminal record should be encouraged to learn how to shoot a gun safely and to carry a concealed weapon. There is a reason crime rates are down significantly in towns and cities that allow their citizens to carry a concealed weapon. Along these same lines, requirements for gun safes, trigger locks and all other gun safety devices should be declared unconstitutional. There is little use for a gun with a complicated trigger lock, or worse yet, a gun locked away in a gun safe, when the bad guy comes crawling through your bedroom window at three AM on a moonless night. You should be able to shoot the bastard to protect your family, it's as simple as that! Of these suggestions, the most important is the liberalization of our gun carry laws, especially for those working in the public sector such as school teachers and people employed in the transportation sector. In this respect, how many innocents, do you think, would have been killed in the most recent Jihadi Orlando massacre if even one or two of the people in that nightclub had been carrying a concealed weapon? Yes, I know drunks should not be allowed to carry firearms in public places but what is the alternative, 49 dead and an equal number badly wounded? When all is said and done, our government will not, or cannot protect us, from those who are intent on killing every last one of us! More guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens is the only feasible answer to the situation in which we now find ourselves. Strict gun laws that disarm the citizenry have not worked in France, Belgium or England and they will not work here either!
