What We Need Is More Gun Control
This seems to be the answer that Obama and Clinton have in regards to the terroristic shooting in Orlando. The government needs to have more control over who has guns and what kind of guns they may have.
Side note: Omar Mateen had a government issued concealed carry permit and a security officer license.

From the Criminals You May Know Section
An armed thug was caught following a two month violent crime spree when he was recognised by one of his victims after co-incidentally popping up in the “people you may know" section of his Facebook feed.
Omar Famuyide was one of two men who burst into the Ambassador’s Relaxation Suite on 13 July last year and assaulted women inside, threatening them with a metal bar and a handgun.Relaxation suite = massage parlor, NTTAWWT.
The lawyer defending the mugger said that the firearm had been discharged in such a way with the least possible chance of the bullet hitting anyone. I'm sure that makes it all better.

Fast and Furious Emails
Yesterday I wrote about how Acapulco has come under the grip of terror by drug cartels. One thing that makes the situation in Mexico possible is our war on drugs. Another thing that hasn't helped was the Fast and Furious program that sold guns to criminals to take into Mexico.
New emails have been released that show what many suspected by has been hard to prove so far:
This video was from 2009. He can say with certainty that the guns in Mexico were purchased in the U.S. because he allowed the program that sold guns to drug cartels. Beyond the lie where he pretends our Second Amendment is what's responsible for Mexican gun crime, he also says that 90% of the guns recovered there are traceable back to the U.S. It was actually 90% of the ones that are traceable, a minority of them because most are untraceable, can be traced back to the U.S.

Fast and Furious was a Justice Department program that allowed assault weapons — including .50-caliber rifles powerful enough to take down a helicopter — to be sold to Mexican drug cartels allegedly as a way to track them. But internal documents later revealed the real goal was to gin up a crisis requiring a crackdown on guns in America. Fast and Furious was merely a pretext for imposing stricter gun laws.

Sunny Acapulco
The tourist attraction has become a battleground for a gang war.
You can certainly sympathize with the people who want to escape this. You can also see that along with those people, others who are causing the violence will also want to follow to expand their territories of influence.
The best thing we can do for Mexico isn't allowing unfettered illegal immigration, it's to stop our war on drugs that fuels the power these drug cartels have.
More on Mexico's crime problem here.
Acapulco's latest wave of killings began April 24, when bursts of gunfire broke out along the coastal boulevard. It was the first time such sustained shooting had been seen there since the darkest days of 2012, when the murder rate in this city of 800,000 hit 146 per 100,000 inhabitants. It has since fallen to about 112 per 100,000, but that remains far higher than nationwide levels and appears to be on the rise again.Mexico's response is to set up temporary martial law but troops get moved to the next hotspot as soon as there's another emergency.

Judge Rules Against Gun Companies
In a major blow to gun companies, a judge in Connecticut on Thursday denied a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by 10 families affected by the December 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School against the maker of the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle used in the shooting.The families, or, rather, their lawyers, are arguing that it's a military-style weapon that it's a "military-style assault weapon that is unsuited for civilian use".
It's a rifle, not some special military-only weapon. The only people who will end up benefiting from this lawsuit continuing are the lawyers.
