A gunman fired upon thousands of people attending a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night, in a brutal attack that is blamed for at least 58 deaths, police say. In the mass shooting and panic that ensued, 515 people were injured. At least one of the dead is an off-duty police officer who was attending the concert.

Editorializing: Interesting how media always emphasize ISLAMIC terrorists, but downplay domestic terrorism as psychologically disturbed individual lone-wolfs.

    In case you missed it, the US Supreme Court disagrees with you and (at the fundamental level, at least) agrees with me.

    You poor, pathetic, dead mother-fucker. Sturm-Ruger agrees with me! Do ya feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya? .44 Remington Magnum. Best use, defense against large carnivores, such as Racoons, Possums, Bandicoots, and Wolverines. Also useful in dispatching coward gun-lovers, but may be excessive force in some jurisdictions. Release the full registry of Americans who own more than six guns. We need to know where these ammosexual perverts live, and what the bag and carry limits are, during season. The interesting thing is the possibility of self-capture!

    I'm sorry that you've decided that your only recourse in the face of verifiable facts is to spout gibberish mixed with murder threats.

    Good luck to you in hunting down all those gun owners...
