First, I want to give my sincere condolences to those whole lost loved ones in the event in Los Vegas. Also my hope and prayer
that those injured will heal soon and quickly and have a minium impact on their lives.
This was a terrible incident.....one of which there is no logic nor reason, nor a way to explain, that a human went nuts, and
killed and injured a number of his fellow human beings.
I don't want this post to belittle anyone impacted by this evet, but a comment on us, as a society so to speak.
The firearms used in this event were of big guns, no little .22 that we use to shoot cans, target practice, or use birdshot
in an old single shot to help control the mouse and rat population..
this was a little big bigger shells. Also, from listening to the tape, some must have been motified to be automatic, went on too long
to empty a clip. I'll admit, I've never seen a 308 semi automatic.
but here is the talking point going ahead. Trump was elected, in part in supporting the gun owners, etc.
This was the biggest type of incident of it's kind in the history of the united states.
There are calls for gun control now.
But here is the twist. This was a country music concert....not a pop or hip hop.....these were red necks, and the
red necks voted for trump in part due to the gun issue.
but now, these were the very people that we're injured and killed.
We heard of above and beyond stories of people helping people, and in the rural/country moral/etho's,
protection of women and children first. Several stories of men helping young girls over fences first, or using
their bodies as a shield to protect their wife or girlfriend, sister or cousin.
And some died, or seriously injured due to their actions.
How will this play out......will the "red necks" come out and be for gun control
This will be very close to the demographics that are the strongest against gun control.
Just to be fair and honest. I've been around guns all my life. my favorite is a 22 rifle. I personally don't
even consider a 22 a gun, ive shot them since in grade school. My dad loved his hunting. He enjoyed
deer hunting, and had an assortment of long rifles, also coyote gun.
both of us had a pistol and revolver, but never bigger than a 22. both of us didn't understand why you needed a
handgun that had a barrel big enough to put your little finger down. They were no good at hunting, about broke
your wrist when you shoot them. We figured the only 2 people that hand any business having one was plumbers
and electricans, so they could make holes.
I hate to use the term, "interesting to see how things turn out, but as I said, a number of people are dead and others hurt for
life, and people will ask questions, about our society and the role of firearms in it. But remember, the very one's
aginst gun control, were the ones attacked.
again, my sincere condolences of those who lost ones, and my thoughts and prays are wih those injured, and their
familys and loved ones.
