Stone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>June 14, 2016<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement is at least initially calling the horrific Orlando shootings by Omar Mateen as \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/codes.lp.findlaw.com\/uscode\/18\/I\/113B\/2331\">domestic terrorism<\/a>.\u201d I don&#8217;t believe it was domestic terrorism. Sure, ISIS took &#8220;credit&#8221; for the shootings but I don&#8217;t believe for a minute that Mateen has any relationship to ISIS. He was just looking for his fifteen minutes of hate-fueled infamy. Domestic terrorism focuses on the motive behind the act and it specifies that the motive has to be to coerce people or\u00a0influence or affect government policy. That doesn&#8217;t appear to be the case here.<\/p>\n<p>Mateen&#8217;s father, Mir Seddique, claimed this horrible act had nothing to do with religion. &#8220;We were in downtown Miami, Bayside, people were playing music. And he saw two men kissing each other in front of his wife and kid and he got very angry,&#8221; Seddique told NBC. &#8220;They were kissing each other and touching each other and he said, &#8216;Look at that. In front of my son they are doing that.&#8217; And then we were in the men&#8217;s bathroom and men were kissing each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thus, what we have here is a homophobic act by a mentally ill person, not domestic terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of this latest mass shooting, there is again a loud call for more gun control. \u00a0Will the deadliest killing in US history of 49 people in Orlando finally be a tipping point, causing the enactment of reasonable gun control legislation at the federal level? \u00a0I thought the\u00a0December 2012 killing of 20 children and seven adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School\u00a0would be such a tipping point but, alas, it was not. \u00a0Then, surely, the killing of\u00a0nine worshipers at the historic Emanuel AME church in Charleston, S.C. would be a tipping point. \u00a0Again it was not.<\/p>\n<p>And gun control does work. \u00a0A\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/39754-states-with-more-guns-have-more-homicides.html\">study\u00a0<\/a>found that states with higher rates of firearms in the home have disproportionately correlative big numbers of gun-related\u00a0homicides. The findings suggest that measures to make guns less available could cut the rate of killings.<\/p>\n<p>Mateen used an AR-15 semi-automatic weapon. \u00a0As Stephen King\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/quotes\/823306-semi-automatics-have-only-two-purposes-one-is-so-owners-can\">remarked<\/a>\u00a0 &#8220;Semi-automatics have only two purposes. One is so owners can take them to the shooting range once in awhile, yell &#8216;yeehaw,&#8217; and get all horny at the rapid fire and the burning vapor spurting from the end of the barrel. \u00a0Their other use is to kill people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Will 49 dead in Orlando finally be the act to wake up Congress to finally pass meaningful gun control legislation? \u00a0Unfortunately such efforts will probably be doomed again because too many members of\u00a0Congress are in the pockets of the NRA lobby, in tandem with gun makers and importers, military sympathizers, and far-right organizations.<\/p>\n<p>And after all the sound and fury is over, the cycle of killings, hand wringing, and mourning will likely continue\u00a0<em>ad infinitum.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the aftermath of this latest mass shooting, there is again a loud call for more gun control.
