Who's saying anything about disarming? I'm not naive enough to think we are going to get rid of all guns in the USA. But it shouldn't be easy to get a gun for anyone. And it should be damn near impossible to get a weapon like an AR15 that can make a single gunman capable of killing 49 people and wounding 53 others in such a short space of time.
You say AR15s are massively different from planes yet you are the one conflating terrorist attacks by guns and terrorist attacks by knives, bombs, and planes. I don't think you've thought your argument through very well.
I'm going to bed but I would find it interesting to hear what you think would be useful to combat events like Orlando. If gun control would only make matters worse, then what is your solution? Should we just throw up our hands and do nothing? Are you a fan of Trump's idea to ban all Muslims? (McVeigh and a lot of other prove that won't do the trick.) I can't wait to hear the solution that will end terrorism (I'm not even going to worry about Kenya and the other places you mentioned, even a solution that just works for the USA would be good enough for me).
