Vegas Shooting

So a week ago, a mysterious retired accountant-turned-gambler "numbers guy" has dozens of guns shooting at a country music festival and now 58 lives are lost and still no motive known. News quiet down as topics like Trump and politics come back to the headlines. And of course, now is still "Not a time to discuss gun control".

Waita minute, Chicago's gun laws is once again being labeled as useless.

Look the bad dudes have legs and can easily go to another state to buy their guns, ok? If gun laws is to work it needs to be nation wide.

Then when will you talk about Gun Control?

How do people respond to yet another act of violence?

They. buy. more. guns.

Another thing in the spotlight: there are some device that can turn "semi automatic" weapon to automatic weapon and may be banned... waita minute just what is "semi automatic"? I do not even bother want to ever find out as I will just never attempt to play with any real guns. Waita minute, preventing that thing is against your freedom! Are people stocking them up?

Let me tell you this: it is NUTS to have such powerful weapons for "protection" with or without that automatic tool. And even if you carry all that if someone shooting at you from 32nd floor you aren't going to protect yourself.

But the silly gun culture is so deeply rooted that even if thousands or even millions die it still won't change.

Investigation about the gun man... how come nobody talked about: does he hate country music or that particular performer? was the music bothering him? The 60+ year old "girlfriend" know anything else? So there is a calculation note about shooting how come no one comment on correct or not? Did he use this mighty equation: d = vit + 1/2 a t2. Why does he not battle a bit with the police? Did he have bulletproof jacket on (doubtful)?

Now where do we go from here. Back to where we were... wait for the NEXT massacre.

with 20000 people below, after firing for 10 minutes, that hit ratio is fortunately quite low. It could be a lot worse.

Oh, it is biggest massacre in modern history. Certainly not the biggest in all of US history. See list of massacres in the US.
