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.

Sweety, American gun owners don't number in the hundreds of thousands. We number around a hundred million and we own enough firearms to arm every man, woman, and child within our borders and still have a few left over.

And yet--not to put too fine a point on this--I don't feel any safer because of this.

You're not supposed to. You're supposed to feel safer because you own a gun. If you don't, well that makes you pretty well fucked when violent crime eventually comes your way, now doesn't it?
