17. Well, ONLY 27 dead and ONLY 20-25 more injured. Gee, that's not bad at all.

As far as mass homicides with guns go, that's hitting pretty low on the old totem pole there. Pulse and Las Vegas were much better events, so to speak. This one is hardly worth mentioning. What, with such low killed/injured rates and it not being a Muslim doing the shooting.

just in case people can't tell:

Make sure you thank all those people's families for their contribution to the price of freedom.
