The bodies of the innocent were still strewn on the Las Vegas pavement and the motive of the shooter was a mystery, but the media-political confederacy was certain about who was to blame. It was American society or, more precisely, those people who don’t realize that the Second Amendment isn’t worth the parchment it’s written on.
Lefty pols had already tweeted their way into the bloody scrum, and that gave the Democratic media all the talking points they needed. Three of the first four questions at Monday’s White House press briefing were about gun control, as were more than half the total.
Actually, it is incorrect to call them questions. They were demands, arguments and opinions with questions marks affixed as fig leaves.
Where does President Trump stand on background checks, when will he speak up, can he lead a bipartisan coalition to new restrictions, and so on. The scene had all the sincerity of rehearsed arguments being trotted out for a televised performance. There was zero doubt that more government restrictions were the only correct answer.
Shades of McCarthyism were in the air, too, and I almost expected a reporter to ask press secretary Sarah Sanders, “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the National Rifle Association?” with the NRA the new communism.
The assembled press didn’t display similar curiosity about the lives of the 59 dead or the killer’s motive or the courage of first responders or the condition of the more than 500 injured. Nor were they interested in the president’s earlier remarks, where he called the slaughter “an act of pure evil.”
In short, all the human things about Las Vegas that captivated the nation were of little interest to the media and their favorite politicians.

Libs are insane...enough said.
They’re opportunistic, hateful scumbags — The Democrat Thug Party.
Ask them choose Abortion or Gun Control. They can’t have both. They want to kill baby but keep adult. Why??
They should pick one.
The shooter was a pilot. He could have loaded a plane with who knows what, dove into the heart of the crowd and killed a lot more than 59.
We should ban pilot’s licenses for people with no criminal record and no history of crime or mental problems. That way we’ll all be safer.
Safety first. Freedom is way over rated.
The stock answer to any of those questions should be “tell me, how many laws did the perp break? What additional law do you recommend we make that s/he can break as well?”
The shooter was a libtard.
Just one more off the agenda.
isn’t it always
When they ban cars for all people who are not drunk drivers, in response to a drunk driver killing a bunch of people, then maybe we can talk about gun control. Until then, forget about it.
That’s probably why we are not hearing much about the Las Vegas shooter so they can push the gun control narrative first. American deaths mean opportunity for these leftist a-holes.
CGato
The Rooskies colluded with the NRA at Trump’s request.
Weasel Mueller needs to get on this.
Those AHOLE leftists wanna kill 58 of us, AND THEN take away all the guns!?!? MOLON LABE!!
...”They’re opportunistic, hateful scumbags — The Democrat Thug Party.”...
They are the “Vulture Culture,” rushing into every tragic situation to try and glean something for themselves from it. They care nothing about the actual suffering in this world. They care only for their lust for power large enough to enslave the rest of us. That is the long and the short of their calls for gun control. They want to make this nation safe for a left-wing takeover outside of the ballot box and we can clearly see that from all that is happening to form a coup against our duly elected President Trump. Anyone who knows anything about history and the past 100 years of American history cannot miss the dictatorial trend on the left. The vast majority of people in the US who own guns own them for self protection and distrust of government now is one of the major causes why they have decided to make that arrangement for themselves and their family. It is a vital and smart decision. God bless the NRA. Without them, we might already be under tyrannical rule here.
If it turns out the shooter was a born again jihadi, will the Democrats be for muslim control? /s
I’m using the term, “Democrat gravedancing vultures.”
IF semi-automatic weapons (or automatic weapons for that matter) had existed in the mid-eighteenth century, then militias would have been so-equipped.
The purpose of the Second Amendment is centered on two ideas: "free State" and "the people."
A third intent is of critical importance: the right "shall not be infringed."
It is our responsibility to defend the free State and to allow no further infringement of out natural rights.
“He says the Framers didn’t know that there would be a firearm capable of attacking so many people when they authored the amendment.”
GOPe alligator mouth hummingbird ass.
“Those AHOLE leftists wanna kill 58 of us, AND THEN take away all the guns!?!? MOLON LABE!!”
Sioux warriors massacre and wipe out a wagon train full of white settlers. Democrats response:disarm the settlerrs.
The libs are pushing the gun control stuff right now because the USSC right now is in session. Look for another justice to step down which will get President Trump to appoint another conservative.
Oh, please. Michael Goodwin does not define my rights, nor is he the final arbiter of them.
/facepalm.
