This Massacre Is A Game Changer In Many Ways. A New Level Of Terrorism..

When every high rise building becomes a potential shooting site for some nut your perspective changes. So if there is a public event in one of these cities every high point has to be scrutinized.

I am not optimistic, but if there is any hope it is that it is one thing to shoot up a school, and another to shoot up a money making proposition like Vegas. Once the major economic tourist industries start to get the idea that they might actually become the "shooting fields" for this stuff, the political/economic forces might actually develop to react to this crap. Let someone shoot up a broadway show, or the Stuper Bowl, or other major economic reality. Then we might actually see some movement. But I'm not optimistic.

And what if the shooter had killed 8 or 9 of them. Then they would be passing law forbidding non Republicans from having guns.
