Democratic Rep. James Clyburn: Orlando not about ISIS
2016-06-15
[Daily Caller] In the wake of the terrorist attack in Orlando by a man who pledged his allegiance to ISIS, Democratic Rep. James Clyburn said, “this is not about ISIS. … this is about guns in America and whether or not we’re going to have some kind of moderation to this Second Amendment.”

Appearing on “MSNBC Live” with Tamron Hall on Tuesday, Clyburn said, “If you’re on the no-fly list, you ought not be able to buy a gun. … The same thing is true of people convicted of hate crimes. We ought not allow them to buy guns. This gentleman, it is now being revealed, had a lot of hate, and it seems that some of it was self-hate.”
Forget hate crime, LGBT folks cannot hate or have ISIS associations. The new Orlando narrative is firearms.
As Rahm said, never let a crisis go to waste. The truest north stars for the progressives are abortion and gun control.

And remember, once they get the law settled in their favor on the 'Watch list' and guns, almost all of us will be on the watch list.

A further thought (1055 CT): If a man says he’s a woman, then she’s a woman. But if a man calls 911 during a killing spree and says that he’s a Muslim and is doing the killing for ISIS, then we’ll never quite know for sure what his motive was, will we? It'll be a mystery forever...

#2  Anyone investigated by the FBI multiple times should at least have extra scrutiny when they try to buy weapons but that didn't happen.

The real problem with the system was that the investigators quickly jumped to 'racists' against his accusers rather than take their claims seriously.

I bet Clyburn would have also said "martyr for the cause." but that will be in private.
