The Hill ^ | October 8, 2017 | Mallory Shellbourne

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said in an interview broadcast Sunday that no law could have stopped the suspected shooter, Stephen Paddock, who was behind last week's mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Feinstein spoke on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” about gun legislation in the wake of the attack launched from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel targeting a country music concert.....

no no no- all you have to do is pass a law that noone can own clips that hold more than 8 rounds- and ban all gun attachments that make the gun look cool- that would have stopped the mass casualties- just ask NY who passed their asinine ‘safe act’ years ago- They are bragging that if the safe act was nationwide- it would have prevented the shooter from accumulating guns and large ammo clips and all would be well with the world today- if only we had more more more laws making it illegal to shoot others in non self defense situations

Since we need more stupid laws to enforce....why not make a law that limits all hotel construction to one single ground floor? No more 40-story buildings that would give the shooter lots of viewing territory. Vegas has tons of open space and can easily build 60-acre hotels.

No law would have stopped him...but we can stop others from committing similar but less serious... That’s their game.

Feinstein sounded “rational” for a second. We had better carve those words in stone and date it because it may be the only time she’s going to sound that way.

It’s a California Leftist Thing, you know. Just short of Marxist or BatShit Crazy, a flash in the pan, a one night stand, a shooting star, a light bulb in the head that lasts a second.

2nd won’t be repealed. But I predict you are going to hear more and more about repeal from Dems. But it’ll never happen.

Ten years ago, who would have predicted the demise of football (except seer Rush)?

This whole effort is Kabuki theater. With a rubber band you can achieve the same effect as a bump stock.

Translation - the only solution is to abolish the 2nd Amendment and forcible confiscate all weapons.

Next time a liberal starts ranting about 'gun control' say 'We MUST require all Americans to paint their houses yellow'...

When the liberal says, "yellow? What are you talking about?" Say, "WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING... WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING" NO MORE SANDY HOOKS. PAINT HOUSES YELLOW.

When they say painting a house yellow won't do anything - again tell them it doesn't matter because WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE KILLING...

Yeah it's irrational but it's exactly what they're saying to us.

With windows being such a problem, maybe they should dig the hotels underground.

Absolutely.

Someone with only minor home workshop skills could make a motorized trigger actuator that would give a more consistent rate of fire and better control of the weapon.

Illegal as heck but what would someone planning mass murder care about that?
