Progressives politicize mass murder in Las Vegas.

I'm not even sure the shooting at the Mandalay Bay was over with before insane leftists started pushing their political narratives. The queen of disgrace herself (Hillary) even commented on weapon sound suppressors, despite none being used by the killer.

In the wake of a madman murdering hundreds with firearms, the response of the left is to lament that the law abiding don't have a harder time acquiring defensive weaponry themselves. To see a murderer commit murder and then respond by disarming yourself is a perfect example of stupidity.

Las Vegas is in Nevada, which is a state that allows open carry of firearms. Casino property is exempt, no weapons allowed, open or concealed. There were many concert goers who quickly identified the location of the gunfire, which is being reported to have been about a thousand feet away. What if one of the people at the concert had been allowed to carry their own weapon? What if they had brought a bag to the concert that contained something like an AR-15 pistol? The range on that would be sufficient to return fire.

Why are people not allowed to defend themselves? We don't even have the opportunity, and yet we are told that if given the chance, it would not work. We would hurt other people.

The government, the police, they are NOT able to proactively protect us. They can stop the chaos after it's started and run some of it's course, but they can not prevent. We deserve the chance to protect ourselves, to be our own first line of defense.
