1. She jumped to the terrorism conclusion very quickly

Maybe we should wait until the investigation determines that first.

5. Lets be real. The guy was on a watch list, his dad was a supporter of the taliban, and this guy

called 911 to make sure people knew he was acting in the name of ISIS. That's just the stuff that WE know sitting on our asses behind a computer.

9. Every law agency is calling it a Domestic terror attack..

You can’t dislike her that much could you?

[oberliner]

11. Killing 50 people in a club is an act of terror

By the very definition of the word.

[Dreamer Tatum]

12. In what world is this not terrorism? nt

[Odin2005]

16. How the fuck is this NOT terrorism?

The shooter was an IS sympathizer.

[pnwmom]

18. President Obama has also called it an act of terror. It clearly was one.

Didn't you hear about the 911 call?

[BootinUp]

21. Actually she did not. The statement above was AFTER President Obama's

statement.

Prior to that she did not use the word.

2. There are so many things going on here...

Hate, terrorism, automatic weapons that should have been banned after Sandy Hook. What a sad day.

[leapinggnome]

14. Ahem, I respectfully disagree

These automatic weapons should have REMAINED banned like they were long before Sandy Hook.

[tallahasseedem]

17. I respectfully agree!

[Joe the Revelator]

3. Good message

[runaway hero]

4. Much easier to breathe in and out with her.

[kpete]

6. Yes

Her statement in line with the president. Come to find out dude was able to keep his gun permit although the bureau interviewed him for ties to an american suicide bomber. Great. Access to guns. Blowing the hell out of isis doesn't solve that problem.

[TwilightZone]

7. EXACTLY! It doesn't have to *only* be one or the other. Why are so many having trouble with that?

The number of people assuming that there can be only one motive - whichever one they personally assigned already based on incomplete and ever-changing information - is pretty damn disturbing.

[smirkymonkey]

19. +1000

Sheesh!

[ZombieHorde]

8. I like her statement, for the most part. nt

[brer cat]

10. Good statement! nt

[Rex]

13. Agree with her on both counts! It was an act of terror and hate.

I am glad she is against people running around with their gun hanging out of their pants.

[Moostache]

15. Illustrates a great difference between HRC and the GOP thing.

I liked her statement as being appropriate, timely and sensitive to the moment. Compare and contrast to the sleazy thing that is claiming the GOP mantle and accepting congratulations in the wake of mass murder...no contest who is more appropriate and ready to lead.

Terror and Hate met Opportunity and Access.
The results are that 50 people are gone today that were here yesterday and have been lost for all tomorrows.

This is NOT an intractable issue, there ARE common-sense solutions to limit the carnage ability quotient without confiscating guns from hunters, sportsman and law abiding citizens.

It is right to cite all factors, but a solution or even a slow down in the rate of occurrences is going to take the courage to act on knocking out those pillars that make these shootings possible at all. HRC seems willing to try. The NRA's pet party and hired goon will do less than nothing, they will champion unfettered access as the only solution.

Our problems are legion. I'm with the only candidate left who will even attempt to do anything about them.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. She's right.

She also gets props for not knee-jerking into "the FBI needs to be able to break everyone's encryption", like she did last time.
