I heard an interview with an Israeli security official that stated that after the recent attacks in Tel Aviv that the government chose to reduce restrictions on firearms for Israeli citizens (which are currently much stricter than the US). The idea was to arm more "good guys". So our government reaction is to push for more restrictions as if that helped in France or Belgium or any other terrorist attacks where the bad guys got weapons illegally.
Another thing that comes to mind in the Orlando attack is...why don't more soft targets (legally "gun-free" zones) employ armed security? It's really sad that someone can walk up to a club (or school) with 300 people in it with a rifle, walk in, start shooting people and nobody can be armed to stop them!
