Unless you're only reading one source you would see that the right is blaming the left too.

People are filled with hate and it's the Hatfields & McCoys out there right now and I don't see it ending any time soon.

Yeah well I never heard of the Democrat baseball team receiving sniper fire. Then again they have crochet clubs and badminton tournaments.

Most of the Democrats I know are blue collar workers and you wouldn't find a single one of them in that get-up.

yeah not a weiner in the bunch.

There could be a ton of wieners, just saying I've never seen a blue collar worker wearing that kind of thing, not any horsemen nor construction worker. I'm in a bubble.

I'm certain there is a lot of finger pointing. There always is in DC. I just thought that particular comment was tasteless. Rand Paul is bleating as well.

It's fuckin' ridiculous. I had to stop reading & listening. What bothers me more than anything is the hypocrisy, it's nauseating. I can't even believe what anyone is saying and I'm chalking it up to the moment.

The GOP shooting is the 154^th mass shooting this year. We are 165 days into the year.

A mass shooting a day keeps the NRA at bay.

Huh?

A mass shooting a day will brighten your day.

Much better.

Where did you get that number?

It was either Fortune or The Wall Street Journal. I can't recall which, I read them both this morning.

CNN talked about this and the way they put it it all depends on your definition of mass shooting. If you go with the government definition, the number of mass shootings this year is 8.
If you go with , what the term is , Raw numbers, the number is 154.

Any of that include Chicago?

Guns kill people only when people use them!

Wonder how many mass knifings there in the world in any particular time span?

There has been a horrible shooting in Vegas. It's being reported that 20 are dead and 100+ are wounded. Oh God.

I'll look for more details.

There is limited information available and given it's still in the early stages, what I do have is subject to change so please keep that in mind.

At least 20 people have been killed, including two police officers, and more than 100 injured after at least one gunman unloaded hundreds of rounds of ammo on a Las Vegas country music festival on Sunday night. There were 30,000 people in attendance at the event.

The Strip has been completely shut down after the sniper opened fire on the Route 91 Harvest country music festival from the 32^nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort and casino, located across a junction from the event.

Police confirmed that one suspect had been killed, and said at 12:38am that they believed there were no more shooters. Reports of shootings at other locations were unfounded, police said.

The shooter was killed after cops breached at the Mandalay Bay with explosives.

Police are now looking for a woman named Marilou Danley, whom they believe may have information that could help their investigation.















Story

NBC is now calling this the deadliest mass shooting in American history - over 50 dead, more than 200 injured.

Wow, what a mess. I don't even have words for this kind of thing
Bless those people and their families

I'm going to go out on a limb here.

And say "there is no sensible need/reason" for any "civilian" in this country to have "military type assault" weapons!

Assault weapon's only main purpose is to kill "mass enemy soldiers", not just what happened in Vegas and Kill mass civilians at a show! (Or anywhere else here for that matter, mall, school, night club, etc)

Second amendment be dammed, as it stands now, as it needs major overhaul!! How many more mass murders have to occur in this country before this happens!
