Congressional Democrats chose not to wait for all the facts to come in before immediately pushing for increased gun control measures following the Las Vegas shooting Sunday night that left 50 people dead and more than 400 injured.

It’s not yet clear how the shooter, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, acquired his guns or if gun control measures could have prevented him from obtaining them, but leading Democrats are already demanding stricter gun control legislation.

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy issued a statement Monday morning claiming that “the thoughts and prayers of politicians are cruelly hollow if they are paired with continued legislative indifference.” Murphy demanded Congress “get off its ass and do something” following the shooting.

“Tragedies like Las Vegas have happened too many times,” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren wrote on Twitter. “We need to have the conversation about how to stop gun violence. We need it NOW.”

The usual gun banning morons on the left that ultimately want the 2nd Amdendment invalidated and ALL guns in the USA confiscated.

"Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton attacked the National Rifle Association (NRA).

“Our grief isn’t enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again,” Clinton wrote.

Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey demanded Congress “close the gun show loophole” in response to the shooting. (There’s no evidence at this time that Paddock bought his weapons at a gun show.)

“As after #Orlando, I will NOT be joining my colleagues in a moment of silence on the House Floor that just becomes an excuse for inaction,” Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton wrote.

“Thinking of everyone in #LasVegas, and praying Congress will have the courage to do more than stand in silence to commemorate them,” Moulton wrote in another tweet.

New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney demanded Congress “show they care by taking action” on gun control.

“It has been barely a year since what was previously the largest mass shooting in American history — the deadly attack at Pulse nightclub. In the interim, thousands more have been lost to the daily, ruthless toll of gun violence,” Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal said in a statement.

Weren’t people from California taking their guns to Nevada?

How did a guy get full auto weapons? They are anything but cheap to obtain.

[WKUHilltopper]

FU Commiecrats...it was in a gun-free zone. You won’t disarm me and make me defenseless.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

After a mass shooting, the only guarantee is the mass hysteria by Dumbocrats decrying guns and the NRA. I’m surprised they don’t call for Wayne Lapierre be locked up just on general principle...

[Bubba_Leroy]

I agree that it is time for Congress to take action.

Congress should immediately pass a universal Constitutional carry law. Democrat controlled states and cities should not have the power to turn their citizens into defenseless, unarmed victims.

[RatRipper]

If you want to see a massacre on a truly large scale, just give the Democrats the gun control they have wanted for so long.

[lacrew]

Easy and cheap conversions are possible.

The FBI has already ruled out the shooter having ties o any terrorist group. Here we are 9 months into Trump’s Presidency and the FBI and our federal government says that Trump has ties to Russia.

[NorthMountain]

leading Democrats are already demanding stricter gun control legislation.

Democrats don't lead. They slavishly follow the orders of their totalitarian masters to attempt the disarmament of We the People.

[chris37]

Americans get attacked by a domestic terrorist, then Americans get attacked by the American Left.

Gee, I wonder why the left wants to import as many foreign terrorists as it can...

The Left has to go.

"How did a guy get full auto weapons? They are anything but cheap to obtain."

That's assuming that he obtained them legally. It's hard to know at this point but this is one of the two things I'm interested in knowing. The other being how did he get the 10 + guns and ammo into his room (being reported he checked in and didn't leave). No one in as busy a hotel as that noticed that he was bringing that up to his room?

As far as obtaining them, he's 64 which means its even possible that he owned full autos before the 1986 gun laws went into effect. Who knows at this point....

There are devices that can make a semi auto fire rapidly like a full auto...................

Hillary dances on graves: We must ‘put politics aside’ and politicize the Las Vegas attack

I doubt very seriously he had a stamp. Probably one of the easily obtained “hacks” for the do it yourselfer.

[BitWielder1]

The Left's Assault on 2A is on Fully Automatic after every shooting.

[going hot]

The monologue was written years ago, with multiple variations. They simply look in the word processer and print the appropriate gun grab garbage.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Who didn’t expect this? Every shooting is an opportunity for liberals to resurrect their gun agenda.

[daler]

"SOMEBODY needs to DO SOMETHING!"

A typical rgument from the thoughtful left.

[pierrem15]

Like Pavlov's dogs: the warm blood of a freshly shot corpse always sets the Dems to salivating.

Unless, of course, it's black-on-black crime, in which case it's better not to notice.
