Jimmy Kimmel tearfully rips into politicians in wake of Vegas shooting
nypost ^

Posted on 10/03/2017 7:56:42 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Jimmy Kimmel excoriated politicians who sent love to the families of Las Vegas shooting victims, but who won’t pass legislation to curb mass shootings in this country.

“Here we are again, in the aftermath of another terrible, inexplicably shocking and painful tragedy,” Kimmel began Monday night’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” noting that Las Vegas is his hometown.

“And, of course, we pray for the victims, and for their families and friends and we wonder ‘why.’ And, as a result of that this morning, we have children are without parents and fathers are without sons, mothers without daughters. We lost two police officers, we lost a nurse from Tennessee, a special ed teacher from a local school here in Manhattan Beach. All these devastated families who now have to live with this pain forever because one person with a violent and insane voice in his head managed to stockpile a collection of high-powered rifles. And used them to shoot people.

“The shooter was an accountant, with no criminal record, he wasn’t on a watch list; he wasn’t an extremist.

“And, because of that … I’ve been reading comments from people who say, ‘This is terrible, but there’s nothing we could do about it,’” Kimmel said.

If congress and the legislatures would merely pass laws that make it illegal to shoot people indiscriminately or otherwise murder people, the problem would be solved.

Or that he isn’t related to Adm. Husband E. Kimmel, commander of the U.S. Navy Fleet who was sacked after the Jap attack in 1941.

Husband and Manning Kimmel were father and son.

Another Manning Kimmel, father of Husband, fought on both sides of the Civil War.

I doubt Jimmy Kimmel is related to any of them.

"...won’t pass legislation to curb mass shootings in this country."

What possible legislation could prevent such a massacre?

Even abolishing the 2nd Amendment and melting down every civilian owned gun in the country, would not stop a determined mass murderer from obtaining guns through clandestine means, or employing some other method to kill innocents.

The only thing such legislation would accomplish, is the disarming of innocent people, which has been the goal of anti-American globalists for generations.

I notice every time a lib flaps their mouth about tragedies like these that they can never see the forest from the trees.

They won’t even recognize the Spiritual Warfare going on, or how duped they are to that even bigger reality than our own little VR existence. They won’t admit that their shoving The Lord out of our schools, businesses, and society has made Him withdraw His Hand of Protection from our nation.

Ecclesiastes 10:2
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.

I sure hope not. If he is, he's the family's black sheep.

Those names sound Quaker. They also sound southern, due to the old habit of using maternal surnames as male given names.

“Las Vegas is run by demoKrats- are the gun laws in Las Vegas different from the gun laws in other parts of Nevada??”

Not so much anymore. Nevada has pretty much leveled the playing field across the state regarding firearms. Clark County( Las Vegas) always was like a little NY in the desert concerning firearms.

“Where is it legal for this nut to have purchased a fully automatic machine gun? “

By definition a machine gun is fully automatic. More correctly the term would be a select fire weapon but this fellow did neither. He just used a Bump Fire stock on a legal semi-auto and achieved near fully automatic firing rates.

http://www.onlythebestfirearms.com/faq.html
Currently, these states allow private ownership of machineguns:
AL, AR, AK, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, MA, ME, MD, MS, MT, ND, NE, NV, NH, NM, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI, and WY.

“so it was very strict concerning firearms (comparing it to NY)??”

Yes relative to the rest of Nevada but that has apparently has been rolled back from what I have read. LVMPD kept lists of owners, required pistol permits etc. The lists supposedly have been “eliminated” although I have my doubts.
Search around on Nevada Shooters.com for more precise info.
