Mateen was not an immigrant, but he was a Muslim. Therefore, ban all Muslim immigrants. Maybe he'll hone his target. I would think his next call would be to ban all Muslims and ban Islam in America, since Mateen was a Muslim and an American citizen.
If he becomes President then Fuhrer, the military might be sent into places like California to come and overturn a number of things.

With my current legally allowed armaments I will be a mere nuisance in the eyes of forces with actual military grade arms. I do not ask for much. I don't even need full auto like the military have. All I need is typical civilian grade semi-auto, but with no silly restrictions on magazine capacity, etc. I'm a good enough shot I don't need full auto, plus it wastes ammo.
We've been down this path before, but ...

Being a "good shot" and being grouped together with a few thousand well organized, well supplied, well led individuals having some kind of rational strategy to perform asymmetric warfare over a long, long period of time ... more than a mere nuisance.
The devil is always in the details. Unfortunately, there are too many of us gun owners that like to sit around fondling our firearms and imagining heroic events taking place with us at the forefront. The beer guts and gray hair aren't going to carry us very far down the revolution road.
