Los Vegas mass shooting

rugerman · Oct 3, 2017

Tragedy! So many hurting, families with lost members, people who were trying to have a good time shot down by a cold calculating jackass!
And before the bodies are cold the democrats are spouting their gun control agenda. The guns didn’t do anything with out the mad man at the trigger. None of this is the guns or the ammo’s fault. But the democrats want to control guns, not the people who perpetuate the acts of evil.
Every time something like this occurs we lose more of our freedom, freedom to congregate for a good time without having to worry that some madman has planned such a evil act.
Sad day in America!

Its always the "guns fault" when a shooting occurs.

Which of our liberal politicians said it was the "trucks fault" when a madman ran down a crowd of people with a truck?

84 dead
202 injured

Did this lead to "sensible truck controls" in its aftermath?

It would appear the shooter was an Anti Trump activist.

Not sure the lying left wing media will allow that in the evening news.

50 You tuve video's are out there with the shooter attending anti Trump rallies with ANTIFA there as well..

The only regulations we need right now in the aftermath of Vegas are on liberals.

That is what I think is the case too ... but I have yet to see any confirmation of that as a fact and I think we need to confirm his identity on these videos; so far that has yet to be established.

The politicians want armed security to keep them safe, and they want us to pay for it. But the liberals want to take away our means to protect ourselves that we payed for and the constitution gives us that right.

So the democrats want more gun control, ok let’s start by taking the guns away from their security details! Bet you would not see the democrats in public again, only tv interviews from then on, and we would be hearing how they were left defenseless (like they want us to be). Well I can dream, never happen.

The left is blaming you for what happened in Las Vegas. You, the gun owner. You, the NRA member. You, the Second Amendment advocate. You, the law abiding, responsible gun owner.

Fight them every which way you can. Never stop fighting them.

Tobacco causes 480,000 deaths per year.

Deaths resulting from guns are about 30,000.

Here is John Lott's take on the shooting:

Within hours of the horrible attack in Las Vegas, before we knew most of the relevant facts about the tragedy, gun control advocates were calling for more gun control. Here is something I would like those advocates to consider: Europe, which has all the gun controls that are being pushed in the aftermath of the Las Vegas carnage, has actually suffered more bloodshed from these types of attacks than the U.S.

You heard that right: Countries such as France may have made all semi-automatic guns illegal, but that hasn't stopped killers from getting fully automatic machine guns to use in mass shooting attacks. All four of the 2015 mass public shooting in France involved machine guns, including the 130 people killed in November of that year in multiple attacks including one at a concert venue.

In the 1970s, 80s and 90s, Europe saw machine gun attacks in airports and nightclubs by groups such as Black September and the Red Army Faction. In fact, machine guns are commonly used in mass shootings in the rest of the world.

This has not been the case here in the U.S. In fact, Sunday's attack on a country music festival in Las Vegas - that left at least 58 people dead and more than 500 wounded - may be the first mass public shooting in the U.S. involving a machine gun, if it turns out the killer did use such a weapon. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the gunman, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, is believed to have used at least one fully automatic weapon - weapons that are heavily restricted under U.S. federal law.

It is an attack that is likely to rank 14th in the most deadly mass public shooting in the world since 1970. It is the worst ever in the United States, according to data collected by the Center for Crime Research where I am founder and president.

There were 29 such shootings (four or more fatalities in a public place, according to the FBI's official definition) in the U.S. during the eight years of the Obama administration; 26 in Europe. The rate at which people are killed is virtually the same in the European Union as in the United States.

Again, many of the facts about what happened in Las Vegas remain unknown at the moment, including exactly what type of firearm the gunman used. But one sad fact that everyone calling for gun control needs to consider is that, as Europe has shown, you can have all the gun control laws you want and you still won't be able to stop horrors like this from happening.

Now there's talk about the government giving him/them guns, like Fast & Furious.
