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.
Its 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.

>> “Sick bastard that did this” <<
The sick bastard that occupied the White House for the last 8 years did this.
Indeed, she and her fellow leftists do so every time a death gives them an excuse. See my graphic in my #76, here... (Created shortly after 9-11 -- and still unfailingly accurate and predictable...)
he would have had to have a lot of bags to take that many guns up there, plus all the ammo he must have had. I’m thinking he had a lot of stuff to bring up there. Just seems odd to me, this whole story feels odd..
There’s no reason he would have had to move them all in one load.
He only lived 100 miles away.
It would be simple to load the golf bag, make a run to the hotel, unload the bag, hang the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, and take the empty bag back home for another load.
Just about all the weapons the shooter used were either illegal or illegally tampered with. Plus how do you carry multiple guns and however many full magazines of ammo to your hotel room without getting some serious suspicion? Pretty sure the weight of the baggage would be suspicious.
Or multiple trips to get separate bags from the car he was using.
As predictable as the sun coming up. Any time there’s a shooting, Dummocraps call for gun control. We don’t even know who this guy really was or any facts, but they’re already beating their stupid drum.
I saw a thread on another site that calculated that 8000 rounds of 7.62x39 ammo (for AKs) in 200 magazines would weight 465 pounds. Of course, we don’t know yet what guns or ammo he used. But 5.56x45 ammo (for ARs) weighs less.
That could be brought up to a room on 2 trips with a luggage cart (and 6 or 8 large bags) without too much trouble.
I am sure that we’ll find out more over time. The cops and FBI are, I am sure, already going over the casino’s videos with a fine-toothed comb.
(yelling to someone off-mike) “Ok, who’s got the picture of Inspector Renault from Casablanca?”
He may have made numerous trips to move stuff up to his room.
I wouldn’t be surprised if many of his weapons were tampered with. He had 19 weapons in the room.
When you go beyond four guns, to carry out something like this, you’ve pretty much identified yourself as not a strategic thinker.
Yes of course, Mr Paddock did not murder anyone, the guns did, and they are the guilty parties, along with all the other legal guns in the country. /sarc
