    l like going to concerts.  if you are someone who opposes any kind of gun control legislation, fuck you.
    This always brings forth change.  Thank you for your input.
    I really have to agree with this. we need to engage in meaningful discussion, or we get nowhere.

    I don't understand how anyone could be against tougher gun control laws.  I know there are people who are against legislation-- especially some Republicans, Libertarians, and Anarchists-- and wouldn't it be nice if everybody did the right thing without laws.  But they don't.   No one outside the military and some law enforcement people need automatic weapons that can kill 59 people in a matter of a few minutes.  Nobody needs to have a stockpile of guns like Paddock had.  And background checks are simply common sense.  I don't understand the thinking of anyone who thinks otherwise.

    I with you.  Makes absolutely no sense.  I just got done reading another "gun registration means the gov't can come take your weapons, then we are defenseless against the gov't" post from a facebook "friend."

    I still haven't seen any report that automatic weapons were used. These were semi auto with a slight modification in order to shoot rapidly. The bump shot mod is totally legal. I think some pro-gum people jumped to an early conclusion that the guns were full auto, which are illegal for the most part, so they could respond to pro gun control people by saying "see, laws wouldn't have been effective in this case anyway".

    Dana Loesch and her comments regarding the Las Vegas shootings:  "If guns are banned , so should feet and fists."  Anyone else catch that? How does it feel, NRA, to have someone with  grade school mentality as your spokesperson?  What a piece of work she is.  Disgusting.

    Does Chuck Todd really want to know what we actually did after these two events? Does he need a refresher?

    "When planes flew into the World Trade Center did we say now is not the time to talk about terrorism? When our banking system nearly collapsed in 2008 did we say now is not the time to talk about financial regulation?"

    Didn't we invade the wrong country and kill about 2 million brown "folks"?
    Didn't we, the US treasury and the Fed, assume the banking systems bad debts and fix their balance sheets with the press of a button?

    I don't know why, but that strikes me as hilarious- an Amish farm with giraffes.  Now I've heard it all!
