Las Vegas: Worst Mass Shooting in US History

It sure as hell isnt getting any better.

The division and attacking of other people feels like it's at an all time high. You're either a liberal commie/hippie/moron or a deplorable racist. There's no in-between.

I just don't understand it. I certainly don't understand how you could kill 50 people. I don't understand pointing a gun at another person. I just don't understand this, and that terrifies me. Who are these people? What kind of monsters are we?

One more question you should ask—- why isn’t this happening outside of America in the developed world?
 
25 now reporter to be dead. Which means 3/5 or the most deadliest mass shootings in our nation’s history have happened in the past year. 2/5 of the deadliest in just the past month.

But ya know, neither was a terrorist cuz white.

And there’s zero we can do to combat this provlem cuz the NRA owns the GOP.

Besides, 2nd amendment is omnipotent and like gun control doesn’t work. Cuz that’s why every other industrialized nation is suffering from like tons more mass shootings. Cuz gun control doesn’t work and the solution is to always have more guns.

Thoughts and prayers! Until we have another mass shooting here in a few Weeks. My money is on either a school or a Theater. It’s been a while since one of those have been shot up all to hell. Nothing will change until 2018 and we get rid of the trash in dc and get people interested In actually governing.

I have to hand it to you. You at least made one post before you politicized it.

Why shouldn’t this be political? We need to stop these from happening. One political party is so damn beholden to the NRA that it has become a running joke. For the next 48 Hours the gop will claim that “now isn’t the time to discusss gun regulation.” Then they won’t do anything to resolve this problem. And then after 2-3 weeks we’ll move onto the next mass shooting. They’ll repeat the same script.

It’s a joke.

The whole point of government is to fix or at least mediate these problems in society. Gun regulation found in most other industrialized nations would prevent lives from being lost. An ultimate positive for society.

Unfortunately, one party refuses to even attempt to fix this issue because they’re so bought off by the NRA.

How can these mass shootings not be political?

What did we do to prevent another Las Vegas? Have bump stocks been banned yet? Why should they be legal?

Terrorism is generally defined as violence made to further a political or religious agenda, so yeah, I don't think you can call the Las Vegas shooting or this one terrorism. You have to know the motive to call something terrorism. Maybe some motive was found out for the LV shooting, but I never heard one. And it's too early to know anything on the most recent shooting.
 
If you're more worried about someone being labeled, by the media or people, as a terrorist or not a terrorist, Muslim, white, brown, etc in this situation or any like it, more than the person being a murderous, coward, life taking POS then you, my friend, are a simpleton.

Clearly, my #1 problem with this issue as indicated by my posts today and the numerous posts on this subject matter throughout this thread is the lack of action taken from a political party in congress too bought off by the NRA to take obvious actions and donwhat is logically and morally right.

If you can’t see that and want to emphasize a sidenote I made about what qualifies as racism as the #1 beef you have with this, then maybe you’re not as happy or successful as you think you are.

Stop posting unless you can add to the conversation. So tired of the drive by insult added by those too intellectually deficient to add to political dialogue.

it was only "generally defined" like that by folks who have a political/religious agenda of their own.
objectively, terrorism is anything that causes terror. period.

it seems fair to say this perspective is more easily held when one isn't frequently the target of aforementioned labeling.

this is why certain issues for one side of the political aisle are considered to be 'boutique' secondary issues, 2nd to the main issue of jobs and the economy.

meanwhile for those on a different spectrum, those same exact issues are their livelihood.

This can apply to something as small as where one sits on a bus, to how often they are screened at an airport, to how one self-frames an entire war - and see it as a war for the boutique issue of slavery or the actual, main issue of state rights.

Of course, for some (especially those subjected to slavery), the war and those two issues are viewed in the exact opposite way.
But maybe they're just simpletons.
