Celebrities took to social media Monday morning just hours after the tragic Las Vegas mass shooting to call for increased gun control measures.
Breitbart News reported that the attack occurred while country music singer Jason Aldean was playing and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified the attacker as 64-year-old Stephen Craig Paddock. He opened fire on concert-goers from an elevated position–the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. LVMPD SWAT members burst into Paddock’s room Sunday night and found him dead.
Michael Ian Black tweeted:

How bout eliminating gun free zones?
Seems to work pretty well....
There was a commercial a bit ago saying to watch later for Stephen Colbert’s reaction to the Vegas shooting.
How utterly disrespectful. It’s not his tragedy to comment on and make money off of. Sickening.
The reality was the shooter had hit everyone he was going to hit before anyone could muster even a token response.
Even the police who had rifles could not locate him exactly to suppress him and remained confused to location and number of shooters a full hour into the incident.
We are talking five hundred yards here, where a human body is smaller than your front site post.
It’s very easy to turn them off and not miss anything.
What effing law would have prevented this, Hollywood???
Surely this mass murderer would NEVER have committed this massacre if there had only been A LAW.
Why doesn’t anyone ask these morons this?
OMG, CBS just had the same Stephen Colbert commercial again. Disgusting.
“Celebrities.” Who is celebrating these fools?
I say this. This was going to happen, it was only a matter of time.
If you have not gotten your rifle and ammunition before this, shame on you for waiting.
Gun confiscation isn’t going to happen. But legislation banning SA rifles that even remotely resemble war weapons will get introduced like a torrent. It will be riders on anything that the GOP or POTUS wants to get passed.
I would not be surprised if replacement parts, magazines and ammunition is banned as well.
If you haven’t got your rifle yet, go TOMORROW and buy one plus a good supply of ammo. Even talk of a ban will make the prices skyrocket.
The worst part about watching shows on CBS, even the syndicated shows on the CBS station before prime time, is that EVERY FUKKING commercial break ends with that babbling buffoon's show being touted, complete with his ugly mug looking as goofy as ever.
Good God, how far has "comedy" sunk in the past 10-15 years???
Finally, I was prepared for some liberal to give me the argument that the Second Amendment didn’t provide for automatic rifles. I said that the Second Amendment was there to ensure the timeless enforcement of the Third Amendment. She had no clue what I was talking about...end of debate!
time for leftist-control
Gun control succeeded in disarming civilians in the vicinity of the shooter (Mandalay Bay). Hotel guests called the front desk about the "shooter next door". But the police didn't get to the shooter's position for 72 minutes. (Or, so I read. If not precisely 72 minutes, then on the order of an hour).
Had a trained citizen engaged (even with a handgun in the close confines of a Hotel hallway/entry way), the shooter would no longer be able to shoot with impunity. Lives would have been saved.
You won't hear stupid gunbanners discus the benefits of an armed and trained citizenry.
They’ll need to call for nearly 8 years and probably longer, because even most Democrats are against more gun control laws.
If they want to decrease the number and casualties of violent incidents, they should do more about the roots of the problem: fatherlessness, immorality,...
And every bit of it is a violation both of our Constitution and of common sense.
Hah! Better to ask if there is anything they DO know.
Besides, it would probably take them a hundred years to noticeably decrease the number of weapons in the population.
And if they try focusing on the segment of the population that the most noticeable incidents are coming from, they’d be disarming the somewhat richer, more left leaning half (Paddock, Lanza, Joker Boy and all).
These are “celebrities”? These are all totally D list and lower losers.
If anyone is to blame for glorifying and desensitizing gun violence, it’s Hollywood left tards.
[[How about Democrats unilaterally give up their gun rights and bodyguards for a few years and lets see what happens.]]
It would instantly put an end to all the mass shootings.
All the shooters are always liberals
