The link you provided seems to side with the Post, not Trump

It's CNN and, still, they substantiate the meat of the issue in that the Washington Post had to change their headline...not something newspapers do lightly. I imagine someone in the legal department told them that Trump has more lawyers than the WP has reporters and that this headline was not at all true.

Correction: The shooter in Orlando did NOT use an AR-15.

His rifle has been identified as a Sig Sauer MCX carbine. Not an AR-15.

[BRAH]

It was still a weapon he shouldn't have been allowed to have and his concealed carrying permit should have been pulled after the FBI interviewed him the first time.

Why? Why should your right to kill as many people as physically possible be impeded by silly things like laws? This is America we're talking about here.

To add fuel to the fire: Mateen was heavily vetted with an FBI background check in order to get his permit to work as armed security. The same FBI that knew this guy was a risk allowed him to enjoy special carry privileges such as being able to carry concealed in an airport.

You know all those 'background checks' that people like yourself insist upon? Well, he had the best of the background checks and no one said 'boo' about him because of political correctness.

Meanwhile his victims were all obeying the Florida law that prohibits firearms in any place that serves alcohol.

A lot of good it did them, too.

Someone else pointed out to me that this is not the worst mass shooting of civilians in US history in peacetime.

The US Army slaughtered 297 people at Wounded Knee...right after they turned in their guns.

$1:

On December 29, the U.S. Army’s 7th Cavalry surrounded a band of Ghost Dancers under Big Foot, a Lakota Sioux chief, near Wounded Knee Creek and demanded they surrender their weapons. As that was happening, a fight broke out between an Indian and a U.S. soldier and a shot was fired, although it’s unclear from which side. A brutal massacre followed, in which it’s estimated 150 Indians were killed (some historians put this number at twice as high), nearly half of them women and children.

According to the fbi, they say because the investigations on him went nowhere and were closed, the red flags on a background check no longer came up.

Also, the usual gun free zone horseshit doesn't fly here. There were two off duty cops who engaged the shooter right away before he made it inside.

"Gun free zones" do not apply to off-duty cops in the US per 18 USC 926B-926C.

It's their 'thing' and they insist on doing it even though most everyone else in the sandbox is wise to this being a faulty practice.

The smilie was more meant to express my shock that you would believe that. Just when did he travel to Astan, or did the Taliban send trainers to the US?

[Thanos]

Daddy was from A-stan and a Taliban supporter. Even if the monster never went there himself his upbringing was probably full of the usual "this is how we do things back home". All ethnicities do the same thing, with everything from food to how the manly manly men back in the old country carry their weapons.

[shockedcanadian]

Can't blame the FBI for this. They conducted 10 month investigation and had no reason to charge him with a crime.

He was an American, not a Canadian, this means he has rights and is protected by a Constitution in a nation based on democracy and rule of law...
