Nevada is one the strongest gun rights states in the union...

So, if anyone find which rock that the NRA is hiding under right now, perhaps someone can ask them why the bad guy with an arsenal wasn't taken out by a good guy with an arsenal before the ever climbing massacre went into bloody fucking overdrive.

The NRA will advocate for more 'good guys' with full auto assault weapons and arsenals.

We won't be safe till every man woman and child has a full auto AR-15 strapped to their back 24/7.

Yeah that's the ticket!

Hell they are pushing for silencers for assault weapon even as we speak!

The body counts just keep growing and growing!

The GOP Congress is getting ready to legalize silencers even as we speak.

I guess the body count in LV wasn't big enough for the republicans and the NRA.

There could be a lawsuit

The hotels could also require long guns to be kept in a safe at the front desk or some such

armed to their grinning teeth.

And she keeps getting elected.

She backed the Bundys in that stand off.

Don't have to guess what party she's in.

Matthew 26:52 "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

And these people do the exact opposite of the man they claim to honor and follow.

What a sick joke.

that officers "must" be allowed to carry weapons when off duty. He said because they are not, this contributed to the massive casualties. What a fucking blowhard.

I can see it now, police officers with there hand carry guns shooting at a machine gun armed sniper perched high above in a multistory hotel.

GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK POLICE CHEIF SIR!

You have to be careful in your day-to-day dealings and contact with people.

Just the slightest altercation with someone in might result in a shooting if that person is armed.

And more and more are carrying.

We're devolving into a dystopia.

makes their usual argument impossible. No one with a gun could have gotten this shooter so high up as he was.

Looks like they were caught off guard and couldn't rely on the standard go to.

But hell, they've used it so much, we might as well shove it back in their fucking faces.

The next massacre will be carried out by a tiny dick white male with legally silenced deadly weapons.

It will take a long time for the cops to figure out where the gunfire is coming from. The body count will climb even higher.

The GOP Congress and the NRA are killing us all.
