Terrorist attack kills 50 in Orlando, Florida

I won't make the claim anyone here is racist, I can understand fully the paranoia, frustration of wanting control, and trying to find a solution.

I will never deny that I am diagnosed with mental illnesses, some that are associated with paranoia, so as always just take what I say with a grain of salt, these are the best solutions in my eyes and I will usually not be comfortable with less extreme solutions because they don't feel "safe" to me. A perfect example is this; my dad and I were talking about gun laws and the ability to own a gun if you are on mind altering drugs (medication, obviously illegal drug users should not have weapons) or have mental illnesses that can alter your mood such as bipolar, and I felt that in an optimum situation those people should not have access to guns, including myself, but at the same time I was conflicted because I simply don't want to lose them as protection no matter what and I think many people in my situation probably feel the same way.

It would be safer for society, but the utopian environment where the government can actually do things right will never come, I can never trust them to do anything right at this point, and if the job they do is not perfect I would feel much less safe instead of safer. My psychologist has used the term for that before but I forget what it is, but basically, I am paralyzed with fear over things that cannot be done perfectly (which, obviously, is everything), and so I cannot accept them and generally get nothing done because that perfectionism tells me that, rather than doing something and messing it up, it simply should not be done at all.

I don't see the difference between these fundamentalist christians and fundamentalist muslims who support sharia law. One thing that people tend to forget is that terrorist groups are usually a side product of wars/conflicts. If the west was as unstable and torn by conflict as the middle east, who knows how many of these fundamentalists would "take matters in their own hands".

I don't know, can we stop pretending that abrahamic religions are filled with love, peace and great moral lessons when anyone who actually opens up the rulebooks of these ideologies realizes that they're filled with hate against others and yourself? Nazis were progressive when it came to enviromentalism and animal rights, but apparently "animal rights" did not include homo sapiens.

There isn't much difference, and if they were in the same situation as the Muslims they would be doing the same pomegranate. Religion as a whole is the problem. And Nazis were actually very religious, Hitler attended giant Christmas parties every year and people sat their kids on his lap almost like he was Santa at those parties.
