We have lots of gun control.

It didn’t stop this shooting and more gun control won’t stop other future shootings.

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.

We have lots of gun control.

And every bit of it is a violation both of our Constitution and of common sense.
