THIS is what came my way on Social Media (re: Orlando Massacre)

This is from a relative, who became pretty radical after his battle with heroin. I left it as it is, so you can see what some of us are dealing with. I don't know if I should deliver the red ass, or handle this gently. What would you do?

LayDeeBug, right now, they can buy guns regardless of laws and that won't change. There's over 100 million AK47 in circulation. That's just one gun type. There is no way to stop someone from this kind of act. If they're going to kill; they'll kill; better to be prepared for this potential theatre. Further - - if someone was trying to kill a lot of people in a small area than a high powered handgun or shotgun would be affective as well; along with many other means. There is stock-piles of unregistered weapons in this country -- - along with ammunition.. We have open borders with contraband going in both directions; including full auto and military grade weapons including grenades ... . some of which has been with the oversight of our own administration & used to kill american citizens, enforcement officers and making their way to the battlefields in the middle east too..into radicals hands. Here's a proposal. Show that they can rid the streets of illegal weapons. ..right. Lastly - - -in countries that have been disarmed the citizens are clamoring to find means of defense especially the women; since George Soros; Killary's biggest backer is funding the wave of refugees invading their countries. On top of that -- Greece authorities found containers of weapons being shipped as "refugee relief supplies"...NOTHING GOING ON HERE' KEEP MOVING ALONG> There is no way to police such things .. . if you want harmony than you hope and push for homogeneity . Otherwise it doesn't exist and things will only get worse - -that's a fact.

Or just a tidbit of family news, maybe, and say, "hope you have a GREAT day!" I have a nephew (in-law) who is constantly forwarding such nonsense. I just delete it. Life's too short to argue with a damaged mind.
