I think we would all like an explanation for what appear to be two successful terrorist attacks on country and western music fans.
Can you imagine what the media would be saying if fans of some other kind of music had suffered two terror attacks in such a short time?
‘I Want Gun Control’
You’re distraught. Come and take them after you’ve calmed down.
Susan Schmidt-Orfanos (the “mother” mentioned) would get better results by campaigning for the bars to be closed. The attacker (David Long) was beat up in a bar in 2015, IIRC.
Alcohol or drugs and firearms? No thanks. And as for more laws against people possessing firearms (unless they’re intoxicated), no to that, too.
Hey mom, keep your kids out of sanctuary cities.
I don’t give a damn what she wants. Her feelings don’t negate my rights.
“It will mean people like this guy, who have had contacts with the police and mental health evaluations...”
It will all depend on who does the mental health evaluations.
I can sympathize with her but need to remind her that tens of millions of gun-owning Americans shot nobody today (or ever).
Free people should be able to own any sort of firearm and keep it on their property however they see fit. This includes automatic fire weapons.
A well armed populace keeps the government in check. Our government servants must never forget it is we who are the sovereigns whereas they are just our temporary servants. This natural right supersedes the Constitution and is foundation upon which all other rights exist.
Of course, self-defense, defense of family and hunting are all natural rights, too, but they are secondary to the fundamental right to keep the government in check with a healthy undercurrent of fear for their very lives.
This came up in my YT feed today and I watched it about three times just so I can be clear on the rules........
Kind of sounds like under Obama, especially after his reelection when he had more ‘flexibility’, it was ‘No Holds Barred’ on what kind of BS you could stage and spoon feed to the American people. All with the MSM’s help. And of course we all know it had to be paid for with our own tax dollars. These people never pay for anything themselves.
I want lunatic control.
It will all depend on who does the mental health evaluations.

No. It depends on the laws governing legally holding a mentally ill patient.
Those are not in the control of the mental health assessor. Those are in the hands of the leftist government bureaucracies and legislatures.
She has made herself a tool to be used by the enemies of Freedom. I feel sorry for her loss, but blaming anyone but the SOB who killed her Child is just an easy out for her pain.
As I said in my scenario, would she be blaming Big Oil, Big Bottle, Big Rag and Big Fire of he used Molotov Cocktails to Murder his Victims? I think not.
My Nephew, a Marine Veteran who served two Tours in Afghanistan was killed when a Moronic Woman made a left turn into this Path while he was riding his Motorcycle.
He is as Dead as this Woman’s Son.
He was an only child and his Mother will never be the same.
We sure as hell didn’t blame the Honda Accord she was driving, we blamed her. She was not even punished for her “mistake”.
I watched the 60 Minutes Segment about the EVIL AR-15. They went through the litany of Mass Shootings the Liberals blame on the Rifle and NOT ONCE did they mention the Murderers who committed the Crimes. Not once.
My empathy meter is empty when it concerns people who want to rob me of my Constitutional Rights, but I might get over it someday.
I am staying away from country music venues from now on.
All retards want “gun control”. It’s how they show their ignorance.
How bout we start with drunk driver control first and see how that works out. Maybe later we can talk about gun control.
I’m very, very sorry about the death of your nephew and am thankful for his military service. That’s a horrible loss for your family.
I have two sons and can’t imagine your sister’s suffering.
I remember doing all I could to help my aunt manage when she lost her son in an auto accident. That happened almost thirty years ago and she will never recover fully. For her, the pain is always there just beneath the surface.
My aunt was in a daze for a long time and I know that she wasn’t thinking straight enough to be interviewed about anything, especially anything concerning her son, because I was caring for her.
Believe it or not, I agree with your opinion of people who want to take our Constitutional Rights and I think your empathy meter is spot on.
I just can’t help being empathetic toward a mother on the day of her child’s death.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to keep all of you in my prayers, especially your sister.
How much is she being paid? Maybe I’m callous, but the bodies aren’t even cold yet and she’s already politicized it.
He was the Son of my B-I-L’s second Wife. Great kid. Came out of the Marines, finished College, just started a great Job and had a nice Girlfriend. The world was his Oyster.
It is strange to see a person change before your eyes like his Mother did. No Mother should ever have to bury their child.
I did not intend to be so blunt in my earlier response. I guess I am sick of feeling like our American Birthright is constantly under attack from the Left. Evil exists, and yet evil is never blamed.
They always look for a scapegoat, the weapon, the NRA, POTUS Trump, you can set your Watch by their reactions.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and your prayers. Much appreciated.
Guaranteed.
“how a coincidence...”
SoCal is an hour away from Vegas by air. Borderline draws the same country crowd from the local colleges along with locals starved for headliner country acts. Five from there were killed in Vegas.
