    Condolences to family & friends of the victims. If I'm a detective, I need to know how this jackass got 12 rifles into his hotel room.

    I would say mental health is the issue this country needs to address. Glad you decided to bring politics into this tragedy though

    You don't think African Americans go to country music concerts?

    At least Mrs. Clinton had "grief" for the victims before she went after the NRA...this VP and Senior Counsel of CBS skipped a step and went straight to "I'm actually not even sympathetic because country music fans often are republican gun toters."

    Sadly the problem is rooted in politics. Nothing gets done to fix this issue because of politics.

    The strip is going to suck for about a week. I've read that they will close it down for an investigation.

    Life is politics. IMO they aren't separate entities.

    It's crazy to me the first thing people do is go crazy over guns when shit like this happens. Yeah we need stricter gun laws in this country but as shown in places I have posted here about including a strict gun law place like Chicago, it doesn't matter. People will get a hold of these types of weapons. We should ban these cars man, a lot of people dying every year over them, yeah logic.

    A lot of people have guns in this country. More than people know. Legally and don't kill others. The issue in this country is and always will be mental health. People should try to tackle that first. Of course though like every day the past fucking year we are dealing with people bringing politics into it. "Omg trumps America", the other side talking about it being a Muslim attack before the identity of the shooter was released. Everybody is lost and so divided by these stupid fucking politics. 58 plus we're just gunned down, that's 58 families that gotta deal with it so suddenly and that shit isn't fun. It's hell. Yet everybody wants to get their two cents in and bring politics into it.

    Wow. Fuck that lady. She is a piece of shit.

    How is she any better than people that make racial assumptions based on one's color?

    I am a huge country music fan and in no way am a full fledged republican.

    My wife listens to some country music and she hates guns and leans more liberal.

    That is a disgusting comment.

    Yeah and I'm tird of hearing about politics. Done talking about it on this forum honestly because it's a clusterfuck of some trump people mixed with your left wing people and everybody just wants to talk their shit, even when something like this happens. People need to drop their little side they love and agree on something. Shits retarded

    If he started shooting at the Life is Beautiful event a few weeks ago it would have been similar numbers. Thousands of people packed into a few city blocks surrounded by barricades. Maybe more trampled especially if they knew which way the guy was shooting from.

    And Vegas security is always doing their job. My wife couldn't go in a casino on Halloween because she had face paint on. They're everywhere.

    I'll bet the entire hotel industry will be changing their security operations. Soon large chain operations will have metal detectors in their lobbies. Indeed, we live in strange times.

    Sly, if player's fathers are losing business b/c their son kneeled at a ballgame, and guys in khakis showing up at a statue ceremony get fired, I think it's germane that the senior legal counsel at CBS is cool with country music people being massacred because of some sort of schadenfreude.

    Every time I'm in a Casino I see a businessman with those big suit bags. They're like 5 feet long and zippered.

    One of those would probably do if he used one of those luggage carts.

    Not sit and try to start shit like you do with me on a regular basis. I know what's you're doing here and it's really just pathetic. You aren't actually attempting to ask me a question. I just think there is a mental health problem in this country and it's obvious and no I don't have some advanced plan and that's where you jump in and go "hey gotcha!, you don't have a plan!"

    I was making a general statement but you're so interested in pushing my buttons all the time you don't care, I know what you're doing

    Why are you SO angry about EVERYTHING? You're always on edge.
