On Sunday some people on my Facebook feed were claiming that the biggest challenge facing America was NFL players deciding to kneel during the National Anthem, but on Monday the mayhem in Las Vegas brought them some much-needed perspective.
After news of the massacre, the worst in modern American history, broke, a crowd of commentators stepped forward to warn us all not to debate or politicize it.
“Show some restraint, they scolded us. Show some class. It’s too soon.”
Too soon? Do you remember similar calls for restraint after 9/11? Do you recall conservative commentators warning us that now was not the time to address airport security?
The Las Vegas gunman had 19 rifles in his hotel room and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, an official told The New York Times. He had two rifles carefully mounted on tripods to aid his slaughter. He had easily turned his semi-automatics into automatic machine guns, capable of firing off 800 rounds without stopping.
It was military grade hardware, prepped for a war zone, not a famous vacation town.
Don’t you think we made it too easy for him? He was rich and white, and he had no criminal record, so he made rifle purchase after rifle purchase without raising any suspicions at all, because who suspects rich white men? If they have the cash, they can buy the assault weapons, no questions asked. …

Disarm law abiding Americans and there will be fear, because criminals will now have free reign to commit their crimes against an unarmed populace.
The Irish learned nothing from being under the heel of the Brits.
I “fear” unrestrained government.
I “fear” wilding mobs.
Let’s do moslem control action first.
Eff you you thick commie mick. Your potatoes need tending there Paddy.
They got the “heel” mostly from being vicious and terroristic themselves. The EU will eventually prove to give Ireland far worse grief than they got while being ruled from London (something that Pope Alexander III established, BTW) if the EU ever gains its own military power.
Also, FTR, Winston Churchill was particularly vicious against the Irish rebels due to the connection with the Comintern.
There wouldn’t be potatoes there if they hadn’t come from the New World, courtesy of Sir Walter Raleigh.
We’ll leave that to you snowflakes.
Those who would give up their freedoms for security deserve neither.
Our elected Republican/Conservative leaders need to stop playing games with these retarded Liberals.
We don’t CARE what you Liberals think about us.
We don’t answer to you.
Just because you libtard morons have no soul or any sense of logic doesn’t mean that we don’t. Stop projecting your liberal insecurities on the rest of us. Your retarded and childish attempts to absolve yourselves from your own guilt by replacing God with Government will become the death of us all.
Funny how the media always inserts "modern" in there... because they don't want to talk about the worst massacres... two of which come to mind of Democrats attacking Republicans, mainly though not exclusively black Republicans... and how the NRA and guns in the hands of these blacks put a stop to that crap.
If the slain adults at Sandy Hook could have a do-over, I’d bet they would have voted to face Adam Lanza with a gun of their own.
In the back if my mind, I always have that little place that says that the folks who most benefit from these mass shootings are the gun grabbers themselves. If this group of libs would murders hundreds of Mexicans using fast & furious to outlaw guns, then 50 or 60 Americans is just an appetizer.
I know. Gotta keep my tin foil hat in better repair.
But in this niche in the back of my mind...
True. America has been giving to the world centuries and now, we shouldn’t give a s**t, what the rest of the world thinks/wants ...
How about arms control to prevent Iran and North Korean dictators from obtaining nuclear weapons???
Yet, we should NOT be in fear of the Moslems propogating exponentially amongst us like bunnies from hell.
They prove again and again why the Brits had it all over them.
“Do you recall similar calls for restraint after 9/11?”
Was this author four years old at that time? Because I sure do recall them! “Islam is a religion of peace”, and much more!!! When W finally did something about the situation, he was politically destroyed and we eventually wound up with a Kenyan impostor!!!
There should be a law against murdering people with a gun!
Oh wait, there is. Never mind.
