Donald Trump said the tragedy in Orlando could have been avoided if everybody was strapped! *

The man is insane if he believes having bar patrons, many of whom are in different phases of intoxication, strapped would make the other patrons safer!


I was a bouncer at Mac's Famous Bar during Bike Week, back in the day... We didn't even allow bikers to wear their colors, to avoid trouble.



* strapped = packing, carrying, having a weapon. strapped was my choice of words.

Every time I hear that argument, it just gets nuttier and nuttier. I shudder to think of what the final fatality number would have been.

Archie once said bank robberies could be reduced if the tellers had a button they could push so the floor would open up and the bank robber would fall into it.

I thought it was just another bar fight that got out of control. I didn't even read the story right away.

There was another gun at Pulse. That didn't work to stop the gunman.
