Trump: It Would Have Been 'Beautiful' To Have A Shootout In Pulse Nightclub

Proving that he has absolutely nothing to offer our national conversation, Donald Drumpf took the stage this weekend and started spewing nonsense about how great it would have been if a Good Guy With A Gun shot into a confused crowd of terrified people with a magic bullet that somehow would have killed only the shooter.

As he held his finger like a pretend gun to his forehead, Trump said, "If we had people with the bullets going in the opposite direction — right smack between the eyes of this maniac."

If only bullets were magically able to tell the Bad Guys from the Good Guys, too.

I would never set foot in a bar that allowed guns.

When I was a young lass I went to a party once where this crazy drunk guy was waving a gun. I just got to this party and then left immediately when I saw that guy. I heard later he shot someone in the foot and they had to wrestle the gun from him and called the police. The party broke up after that.

but I made him put the rifle down. New Yrs Eve drinking + wanting to shoot off a few rounds to say yeehaw to the New Year was not what I wanted him to do at midnight. With neighbors and young children, no less.

Immediately. I dated a guy briefly who had a gun. When I found out I stopped going out with him.

I'm glad he's your ex!

Hundreds of drunk, panicked and probably mostly untrained people shooting away in a darkened club.

All the deaths are on the shooter to cya the civilian casualties of the shootout
Many may have been "collateral damage" and the pd is getting in front of that now.
I am 60 miles.away and what we hear and whAt is being reported are similar but not exactly the same.

Reminds me of an All In the Family episode where Archie said banks should have hidden trap doors in the floor so when the bank robber demands money from a teller he or she can push a button and the person falls in.

Top officials with the National Rifle Association said they do not support allowing guns in places like nightclubs where people are drinking — breaking from Donald Trump’s call for just that.

Will miraculously hit *only* the shooter. What utter bullshit. So sick of these fantastic bumper scenarios.
