Front Range, dude...
So much hate out there, aided and abetted, if not fully endorsed, by the gun lobby. Cant wait to see how they spin this...almost afraid to look at social media. Cant wait to hear how Twittler responds to this one.

Just imagine the outrage if some international leader came out with snide remarks regarding gun control in response to this instead of the condolences any non-infant would offer. Not that they wouldn't have a point.

David Frum said:
Like ancient villagers, Americans accept periodic plagues as a visitation from the gods, about which nothing can or should be done. The only permitted response is “thoughts and prayers”—certainly never rational action to reduce casualties in future. Even to open the discussion as to whether something might not be done violates the taboos of decency: How dare you politicize this completely unpredictable and uncontrollable event! It is as if gun violence were inscrutable to the mind of man, utterly beyond human control.

Just the fact, that there is a tracker like that with over 300 listed shootings in four years is just tragic. The second amendment has truly failed.
Failure, or wild success?

Oh what bullshit. Frum, Will, Kristol, all these so-called "conservative thinkers" wailing and gnashing teeth when the monster they made turns on it's creator drive me fucking nuts. Reap what you sow, you fucking assholes.

I mentioned it in the GMT. How's the conservative end of the country going to wrap their collective head's around the fact that it happened at one of their events this time? Not just a college or a gay club?

what's conservative about Las Vegas?? :hmm:
The gigantic mormon community that settled the area after moving in as a labor force when the city went up. Example: not vegas proper but the Bundy family located conveniently in the same community as this tool.

The frequent new and old wealth generated from the tourism industry makes the 'job creator' midset run wild. See steve wynn's political rants

Check nevada's gun laws. There really aren't any.

Vegas is an unfettered hyper capitalist shit hole. The hold of the teamsters union on trade shows there is honestly about the only non-conservative thing I know of going on down there.

It occurred at the "Route 91 Harvest Music Festival", big country-western concert, according to the line-up. Trump hump-fest? Possibly, those events tend to lean pretty far right, sometimes extreme right.

Waiting to see the ridiculous posts about being able to return fire against a guy stocked up with rifles on a balcony.

Really easy, if the guy had a Bernie bumper sticker blame it on leftist ANTIFA terrorists. If he was right leaning call it a Deep State False Flag operation. Either way there is no correlation to what happened and lack of any rational gun control or mental health care in this country.

But this is a time of mourning and not the time to be discussing such things.

Or a kindergarten.
Because Alex Jones has brain washed people into thinking it was all a farse. It happened in Yankee land, so it can't be real. This happened at a 'conservative lifestyle' event - a country music concert. This is different. 400 people were injured and at least 50 are dead. There is no white washing this. Fox is all over this. Drudge is all over this.

That's incredibly optimistic of you.
