Did you forget who this country elected president?

Smartest idea wins out in the US? :playoffs:

You're not wrong unfortunately

This story is so fishy. We need a conspiracy theory thread for this event. 2 Windows blown out. Maybe there's a 2nd shooter the guy had no money problems or religious or political beliefs, something don't add up. What if a Russian or foreign agent murked him made it look like suicide and then did the shooting and dipped. letting off that many rounds wheather bump fire fully or semi ain't easy to keep aim stead. Let's put on our tinfoil hats brehs

He was using outlawed assault rifles... what control measure beyond banned would you propose?

The fact that he still obtained a banned assault rifle obviously means something isn't working. A quick google search brings up plenty of suggestions but I like what Australia did according to this article:

Australia's Lessons on Gun Control

He noted that, among other things, the Australian government “banned automatic and semiautomatic firearms, adopted new licensing requirements, established a national firearms registry, and instituted a 28-day waiting period for gun purchases. It also bought and destroyed more than 600,000 civilian-owned firearms, in a scheme that cost half a billion dollars and was funded by raising taxes.” The entire overhaul, Friedman pointed out, took just months to implement.

In a surprise to nobody, gun violence dropped significantly. Does this mean everything they did in Australia can be applied to the US? Of course not, but that doesn't mean we should just throw out hands up and let this shyt keep happening.

Crack down on the permissive gun culture in the Southwest. Lot of good ol' boys down there with Gadsden flags who can show you some "other" merchandise after the gun store's closing hours.

"Now technically this here ain't legal... But that's because the Federal Government is controlled by ZOG, my friend. From our cold dead hands, right brother? The revolution is comin' again and we're gonna need this hardware to fight off Aztlan and BLM."

think the proliferated banned guns throughout the US aren't distributed by 2nd amendment legal gun owner types, brehs

Cant you get straight machine guns at gun shows? Which I'd guess are held often in Vegas?

I shouldn't even be surprised. Anyone who supports the nut-job-in-chief is mentally ill and/or disingenuous. That being said, what a waste of ammo. Had it been a Trump rally instead of a concert, I don't think I would consider the casualities much of a 'loss.'

[Concerning VIolence]

The chances that the US will approve gun ownership restrictions like those you see in Europe are equal to the chances that European countries will relax guns ownership laws to what we have here in the U.S.

Two completely different societies/cultures. It's not about trying to make the U.S. appear "exceptional" or better. It's just DIFFERENT. A waste of time and political capital.

And I find it interesting that all of a sudden people discount how a nation's political/social/cultural norms would affect what kinds of policies one can assume would have a reasonable chance of being implemented. How is that even controversial? We see it all the time.

So Americans are just mentally regressive is what you're saying.
