A gunman opened fire at a gay bar in Orlando, Florida late last night. As of writing this, there are reports of 50 dead so far with many more injured. The shooter has been identified as Omar Mateen, and reports as of right now suggest he may have been on some FBI terror watchlists and may have declared an allegiance or sympathies to ISIS, which would make this the most deadly terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11.

Consider this a consolidated open thread.

You don't seem to have a point.

That's bloody ironic, coming from the guy who hasn't backed up a single assertion that he's made thus far.

I do have a point, it's just that you don't seem to be able to see it through the sarcasm. Too bad for you. I'm not the one you'll see spelling out obvious stuff in a first-grader language for you to understand, unfortunately.

Well, you, as opposed to me, proved all your points here, lol

I didn't need to. Unlike you, I've made no assertions. Just appealed to your sense of logic - if any.

Evidently, it hasn't worked thus far.

I don't see any point in continuing this fruitless conversation. If you have some arguments -- you are welcome to present them here. If not -- I don't have time to waste on finding out who makes a bolder claim that his or her opponent isn't logical.

You first. You're the one making these confused assertions, not me. I'm just trying to figure out the logic behind them. First you say most shootings happen in gun free zones, and then a few comments further you say the zone being gun free is not among the most important factors for choosing a target. A few million brain cells died in my head while reading this.

You're right. This is pointless. I don't actually expect to learn anything new from this conversation, and you're obviously not interested in providing anything insightful, so let's just end it.
