So you tell me if anything will change after Las Vegas. And if it did, would it make any real difference regarding gun violence in America?

No and no. And what Bernie and the rest of the elites don't care to address is that criminals don't obey laws. Even gun laws passed with the very best of intentions by people who say they really, really care about the little people.

The end game of their strategy is to deny law abiding Americans of their ability to protect themselves and their families.

Good...for LATER.

liberals embrace the federal government, conservatives are deeply suspicious of all that power

The above little gem appeared in the article, and while it's not exactly about the topic, if there was ever any proof of reason to fear the concentration of power in the federal government, the Obama regime proved it.

The perfect example of a tyrannical federal government was "Operation Chokepoint." Using the power of the banking system, the government selected "objectionable" (objectionable to whom?) but perfectly legal businesses (or even people in professions that, again, were considered "objectionable,) and threatened the financial backers of the banks used by those businesses and people. Porn stars were informed that their bank accounts were being closed. Gun dealers and manufacturers were no longer able to accept credit cards.

This is a PERFECT example of the sort of tyranny from which the Constitution of the United States was supposed to protect The People.

I can see that you are trying to point out positive things, reining-in an out-of-control MSM, but using Australia as a model for reasonable steps towards maniac-control is a bad idea.
Australia is an example of where a free country went from gun “buy-backs” (here now: as if the state sold you the gun, now they want it back) to offering “amnesty” to “gun criminals”.
Australia is now the bumper sticker come true: only criminals have guns. This is America, where citizens have a God-given right to keep and bear arms.
National carry reciprocity—now!

"I've been a gun-control activist for 20 years . . . There's always plenty of the garden-variety 'your dad would be ashamed of you' sexist nonsense

There is nothing sexist in saying that her father would be ashamed of her over that. If a man said something equally absurd and treasonous, the man would be told the same thing.

Still, she can't play the worn out race card, so she has to reach for the equally worn "sexist" card. America's anti-freedom enemies have no better defense and no other recourse on this question.

The Las Vegas killer used something called a "bump stock" to turn his rifle into a something like an automatic weapon, a kind of machine gun that's been illegal for quite a while now.
Showed your ignorance right there. Federal law defines machine gun as firing more than one bullet per a single manipulation of the trigger. Semi auto requires one manipulation per bullet fired. Bump fire (aka: slide fire) just speeds that up. ATF gave their blessing on this stock as being legal and law abiding. No putting the cat back in that bag easily.
