A suspected Islamic terrorist opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing 50 people and wounding another 53 before he was killed by police. While authorities continue to investigate to determine whether this man had ties to ISIS, the terror organization has not been quiet in praising the attack. This comes three days after ISIS announced they would attack somewhere in Florida. Today's attack marks the largest act of terrorism on US soil since 9/11.

takyon: The gunman reportedly called 911 emergency services to pledge allegiance to ISIS. The President will hold a briefing momentarily. Compare this article to the original submission.

    While I look forward to free bacon sandwiches next time I'm queueing for immigration, I'm not sure how it will stop a US citizen who has never left the US.

    Fine. Once per (some suitable time period) every citizen is required to visit his local Department of Homeland Security affiliate and take the bacon-test. It will create jobs and make 'murica great again ...
