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.

The only thing that comes to mind is making it harder (not impossible) for people to get their hands on rapid firing weapons.
You seemed trapped in a box, and you can't think your way out of that box.
How many would this guy be able to kill with his rapid fire weapon had 5, 8, 20, 100 people in that nightclub been carrying their own weapons?
Yeah, Probably one or two innocent bystanders would have gotten caught in the crossfire. As it was, with everybody unarmed, 50 dead, and over 50 more wounded.
You people in your little thinking box will never learn until we are all dead.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

Just one time I hope you get to see your "everyone has guns" scenario play out. The lights go out, one person starts shooting... gawd.
Set it up with paintball guns in a disco and see how many people get shot. Maybe "one or two" can be your estimate. I'm going for maybe 100 or 200.

Perhaps the reason that you haven't seen it play out should be telling you something?

Go easy on frojack right now. He's a bit frightened. But it gets better.
