That guy Mateen was just a fool, he was not really part of any terrorist group. He should not have had access to that weapon. I don't know the stats for sure, but I've heard other accounts about who has killed more. It doesn't really make any difference; both terrorist groups are horrible and should be resisted, and should not be allowed to have any guns. Talk about threats to our rights, lives and liberty, these two factions certainly are both that.My AR-15, deer rifle, semi-automatic pistol or shut gun could have killed or severely wounded him and saved lives.
Or your semi-automatics could have taken a lot more. Not used by you I assume, but someone else who had bought it. And if you were there shooting at Mateen, it could have cost you your life, without saving many, and with many more collateral deaths. You probably would have had to be employed there as a guard to use it there. The rifle might not have worked; not fast enough against Mateen's AR-15 shooting you.
