Maybe this time will be different. Maybe the sheer number of people killed and injured at a country music festival in Las Vegas at least 59 dead and more than 500 injured in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history will finally lead to some common-sense restrictions on guns.
Because the age and innocence of the victims at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 first-graders held up their hands to try to shield themselves from the gunfire in their classroom five years ago, didnt make a difference.
Because the transformation of the bucolic Virginia Tech campus into a killing field for 32 promising young people and their professors 10 years ago didnt make a difference.
Because the 12 people slaughtered in the darkness of an Aurora, Colo., movie theater five years ago didnt make a difference.
Because the nine people gunned down by a white supremacist during a Bible study at a Charleston, S.C., church two years ago didnt make a difference.
Because a Republican lawmaker being shot during a congressional baseball practice in June Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) was able to return to work only last week didnt make a difference.
President Trump didnt talk about the real American carnage at his inauguration, which happens before our eyes every day. This year alone, more than 11,700 people have been killed by gunfire. As my colleague John Woodrow Cox reported last month, almost two dozen children are shot every day in the United States.
But those with the power to stop the killing have no interest in doing so.
I will never, ever infringe on the right of people to keep and bear arms, our president vowed in a speech to the National Rifle Association at its national conference this year.

They should matter to Trump because those killed will all be voting for his opponent in the 2020 election!
You stand against evil, that’s what you do.
Did hundreds of Blacks killed and injured, and still being killed and injured in Shitcago matter to Obama or the Black lawmakers???
Cut back on Pork!
Giant butter face.
I think the only logical response is to call for the banning of Marxist instruction in all universities that receive federal funding.
I think this is more about the abject fear of the left of voters in general. The left is the enemy of the people and the fact that Trump actually won is pure fear in their hearts.
I'd like to know what those are how they would have stopped this latest madman.
This woman is one of two of the Wash. Post’s METRO section “Commentator” writers and is a hardcore leftist despite the fact that she says her family left a Communist Bloc country (details are lacking right now).
She writes well in terms of the use of the English language and sentence construction, but she is so full of leftist crap that she could easily fertilize the North 40 states, not just acres.
Just read this or almost any other of her columns and you will see immediately that she is full of leftist crap, which is a prerequisite for writing for the Wash. Post, Jeff Bezo’s version of Pravda and TASS combined.
Because all those false-flag attacks didn’t fool enough people. Because all those attacks by Democrats didn’t terrorize enough people. Because all the demonizing of white people didn’t intimidate enough people.
Because “well-regulated” doesn’t mean “controlled by the government.” It means “well-equipped.”
How convenient - Trump now to blame for all the gun killings in history - despite the fact that nobody else solved the problem and he hasn’t changed any laws to make it easier for the evil ones......
Bitter leftoid...
...pals with Martina Navratilova.
Damn, thats scary
Will thousands killed and assaulted and robbed each year by illegal aliens matter to liberals??
