What's sad about this thing media wise is that yet again something actually affecting LGBT people now about everyone and everything else.

Same thing happens with every mass shooting... because mass shootings aren't about gay people, or little kids, or black people, or Islam.  Their frequency and magnitude are a uniquely American phenomenon that has one common and unique theme.

It can be about more than one thing at a time.

This was pretty clearly the most deadly hate crime targeted at LGBT people in our nation's history. This is a sickening event.

Well he was technically taken off the watchlist, but regardless, once you've been investigated by the FBI twice in the last 5 years for terrorism ties, you should not be able to pass a background check for an AR-15. And if he's such a danger that failing the test and alerting him that he was being investigated is unacceptable, then he should be watched continuously until law enforcement is very confident that he poses no danger, regardless.
