What I don’t get is that people hardly remember or ever mention this mass shooting. When I was a kid half a century ago, every kid knew about the St Valentines Day Massacre that had happened back in the 20s In Chicago, a Capone gang massacre. It was part of the lore still familiar to everybody, 40 years after it happened. Yet it was , what, 12 people who were shot? In contrast, many more were gunned down in the Las Vegas massacre and it’s basically forgotten about. Weird.

Some horrible things that you think the leftists would talk about endlessly to support gun control somehow don’t get mentioned much. The shooting of all those people in an Orlando gay nightclub does not get mentioned much - the left doesn’t say much about it most likely because the attackers were Islamic jihadists. There must be some connection to something or someone the left doesn’t want to get exposed or else they would talk a lot about the Las Vegas shooting as being a reason for gun control. They did talk a little about that and used it as an excuse to ban “bump stocks” but the shooting itself quickly disappeared as a leftist talking point.
