#trigger violence

But I can’t bottle it up this time: I am sad. I am scared. 

I have many friends who identify as LGBT and they could have been there. And they could have been gone.

I live near a city with a very large LGBT community with plenty of LGBT night clubs. This could happen here.

I don’t understand why people can see this happen and run to defend their right to own guns. I find that disgusting and disrespectful. I am horrified that people can see 49 die and a whole group of people be targeted and killed and worry about their right to own guns. As if their right to own guns is more important than the people who died. And how they act shocked that anyone would insinuate guns should be controlled at all after this happens is ludicrous to me.

To a certain extent I understand why people want the right to own guns. I personally don’t have that desire and I don’t agree with that desire but I do understand. But how dare you run to defend your guns instead of running to defend people. How fucking dare you. Your guns are not more important than what happened. You can talk about your fucking guns when it comes up in a vote. Then you can defend your guns. But how fucking dare you in the wake of a tragedy think that what is important and at stake right now is your guns. How fucking dare you post anything defending guns while people are trying to grieve and process what just happened.
