Orlando shooting/The non gun debate

[abaris]

The only reason this is a story is due to the number shot, who was shot, and the shooter trying to sloppily attach himself to foreign terrorism.

I would reduce that to the number of victims. It's the highest score since Brejvik, the highest score in any US mass shooting, if I'm not mistaken. The nature of the victims certainly wouldn't be that important if the number of victims would have been considerably lower.
