“Shocking” is the word that kept coming up yesterday after the Las Vegas massacre. Come on! It is not. It is just a different venue. A college campus. An elementary school. A cafeteria. A post office. A movie theater. A country western music concert. It is just a different venue.
And then one of many dumbarse quotes yesterday from the NRA types:

@RichLowry: “The problem with the gun control advocates… they offer ideas that would have nothing to do with preventing the tragedy.”
This fella is one dumbarse for sure.
That’s about the only thing we haven’t tried – limiting access to guns. Stricter guns laws. Gun control of some type on a federal level. The status quo isn’t working.
In my mind, the blame is clearly on the NRA and their supporters. Sorry, they have had it their way for a while now and look at the results – body counts and carnage.
It is just a matter of time before the next mass shooting. Just a matter of time. Moments of silence and sending our thoughts and prayers isn’t cutting it.
Here is from today’s Chron E-Board:
The most influential supporters of our ridiculous gun laws are Smith & Wesson, Remington, Colt, and all the gun manufacturers who are constantly looking for new profits. And, of course, the National Rifle Association. Their latest gambit is to legalize silencers, gun attachments that have no use in sport shooting, personal protection or game hunting. A silencer’s only purpose is to keep a weapon’s use surreptitious.
Don’t argue with me, please.
That’s all I have to say.
