pulse shooting in orlando, FL

Moving this to Other Discussion since it's a more serious topic.

I really can't understand why someone would ever want to do this. Even if you're anti-gay and homophobic, that doesn't give you the right to be judge and executioner and go do something sick and twisted like this. Even if you believe it's against your religion or whatever, it's still not and never will be a reason to go out and kill people. I indentify as heterosexual and I know the Bible prohibits homosexuality, but you know, it also says not to judge others either and certain not to kill them. No one is forcing you to join them and if you don't agree with their ways, then just leave them be as with any other groups that you don't share beliefs in.

In the meantime, I have a friend who is lesbian and she's such a cool and fun person to hang out with. And honestly, I've seen her kissing another female it doesn't bother me. Some people may not agree with it, but hey, just keep it to yourself and just leave them be. And even then, it's definitely not at all a sane justification to kill people over this.

However, I'm not happy about the whole fact Obama and many other anti-gun activists are using this as a protest against the AR-15 rifle. As someone who owns one, has fired it at the range, and is familiar with most of the components, I don't see why the rest of us innocent gun owners have to go through angry criticism and heaps of additional regulations because some deranged psychopath somehow got his hands on one and killed people with it. When you look at the ratio of gun owners that have never hurt anyone with their legally acquired firearms versus the ones that have, you'll see that most people can buy these firearms and can handle and use them responsibly and respectfully.

As a person who has been molested and actually is somewhat bothered by stuff like two girls kissing (for good reason and if you don't believe me then check out my blog post, and if you still plan on hating on me then back off), I can firmly say that if I can just say "eh, whatever, that's their own choice, not mine," and then not go purchase a fire arm and shoot up a club, then certainly someone who doesn't have a good reason to be unnerved by it can be too. It's ridiculous.

And I agree on the whole gun issue, like wtf. Like, I think there should be some restrictions, because let's be real, I don't think any of us want people getting their hands on military grade machine guns or mini-guns, but there are certain guns that's it just like "mm, yeah I don't know."
