    Our only level 1 trauma center is at UMC. I was there for a week when I had my gall bladder surgery and it was kind of a madhouse on a regular day.

    I can't even imagine what it is like today

    Sad to say, they're busy asking the relatives how they're going to pay, if they own their homes, etc.

    They serve all the homeless. There was one administrator that came to ask for 3 or 400 bucks before I had my surgery.

    All I know is I'm quite tired of congress having 'moments of silence' on every mass shooting.
    Yes people will get weapons and will figure out a way to hurt people if that is their goal. But I don't see a single reason why anyone needs to own a personal automatic rifle.

    My cousin's oldest son Blake was there, one friend hit twice and expected to survive, and his girlfriend was spattered with blood (not hers). He kept his friends together in the panic, got them all to his truck, drive the eounded kid to the hospital, and got the rest to his house safely. This is the same kid who was in a sandrail that caught fire a few years back.

    First off if you read my post I clearly said, wait let me quote it for you.
    I don't really see why you missed that. But I'm glad you told me it didn't stop him from getting a AR.

    Also the Bill which was passed when I was less than 5 years old had a 10 year expiration date.
    Secondly April 17 2013 the AWB failed on the senate floor 40-60.
    Also you or I could purchase a m16.

    Unless you know of a specific bill I don't... I don't know of a AWB.

    My work will be good about it. They do all kinds of charitable stuff. We're all talking about it now. My coworker gave some tickets to friends because he hates country.

    The people he gave them to are ok.

    He was really relieved.

    I'm guessing they're going to rename Mandalay Bay in the next year.

    Why is it weird? They claim responsibility for every incident like this.

    I guess I have never noticed them claiming responsibility for a 64 year old white dude before.

    They claimed responsibility before the shooter's identity was released.
