Shooting at Las Vegas casino

I knew you couldn’t stick to fashion advice. This place draws you in, doesn’t it?

 

We'll see how it goes.

More a self-test of character than anything.

I'm trying to stick to journalism, but the semantics under discussion here are a journalism question.

Hope everyone has been well.

 

Yeah, I don't care about that. Right is right.

 

Um, that’s why it was important to say that it was unlikely that he had a highly regulated fully automatic weapon.

 

Isn't it worse for the right that he had all legal shit?

The talking point is that crazy gonna crazy. If dude has a fully automatic weapon, illegally obtained, that feeds that point.

 

Highly regulated but still available. It is insane that any civilian can own an automatic weapon. But you're right that this exposure of bump stocks, if America had any sense, will now lead to their being banned... Oh wait, no it won't.

 

Repeal and replace the Second Amendment. Why are Democrats afraid of that crusade? What the fuck do they have to lose? Start the campaign, guns blazing (no pun intended), yesterday.

 

This thread being evidence to the con ... wait ... no.

 

I suppose it might be.

And, while this guy didn’t use a fully automatic weapon, there were multiple aspects of this shooting that were rare/new/unprecedented and will understandably change the discussion we’ve previously had.

In most cases, a bump stock probably wouldn’t even be practical — like walking through the hallls PF a high school.

But, set up in a shooting stand, overlooking 20,000 country music fans, tightly packed into a small area? It changes everything.

The fact that he reportedly had over $100,000 worth of weapons is also new, and a high barrier of entry for most mass murderers.

The whole thing is horrible, and scary.

 

I believe the right to own guns will trump all other things conservatives pretend to care about.

Fiscal responsibility or guns? Guns.
In God we trust or guns? Guns.
Keeping the muslims out or guns? Guns.
Deport illegals or guns? Guns.
Stop abortion or guns? Guns.

 

Does it have you reconsidering any of your prior positions on gun control and/or the Second Amendment?

 

It is processed as someone wanting to take something tangible away from them, someone changing the rules on them after the fact.

I get it. It's not just about the guns.
