When will we have had enough of these heartbreaking headlines? When is enough enough? We have enough to worry about from those who want to do the USA harm that live outside of our borders to worry about the evil that may lurk within. It doesn't help that Nevada has some of the most lax gun laws out there. For example, if you live in Nevada you are not limited in the number of guns you own, nor are you required to have a license or register them. What I find truly shocking is it is legal to own machine guns and automatic assault rifles in Nevada, "as long as they are registered and possessed in adherence to federal law". Open carry is legal without a permit!
Sounds like Las Vegas or Nevada in general was a legitimate place for a mass shooting to take place given their views on guns. The shooter more than likely possessed the guns used to kill countless innocent people legally by Nevada law. There is a resolution being tossed around requiring background checks for gun purchases - chances are the gun lobby will rally against any type of accountability.
What can we do to stand up to the gun makers, the NRA and the other pro gun groups to level the playing field? There is so much gun related violence and deaths caused by firearms, I don't see any end in sight without intervention. I also understand we have the right to bare arms. BUT COME ON. We've had mass shootings at children schools, movie theatres, political events, free outdoor concerts, inside nightclubs, churches, mosques and other places of worship. This doesn't even touch on the bullets that spray our inner city streets and hurt and kill innocent bystanders. When is enough enough? When will we all stand up against gun violence?
There is great strength in numbers people. It's time to show our strength.
