Victims of Las Vegas shooting were country music fans...people the GOP base can connect

[applegrove]

with. The GOP had to do something to appear to be the adult in the room and connect to their base and make them feel safe. That is the only reason for their talk of gun regulations on bump stocks now. It is the politics.

1. I agree, however I don't think the shooter had politics in mind per se

Basing this on the other sites he supposedly scouted.

Perhaps just after mass numbers and shock and setting a record.

The GOP base was not with Connecticut white public school children, that's for sure.

2. Oh I do not think the shooter targeted the people because it was country music either. I just

think that because the country music fans were country music fans that it somehow hits home more than other shootings.

3. THIS SHOOTING

has "hit home" because these were white people...if it had been the same shooter at a hip hop concert, i wonder just how everyone would react to that...60 killed 500+ hip hop fans involved in shooting, by a racist, confederate, white supremacist...or just some alleged apololitical grumpy, fearful, hate white man....I just wonder...oh wait....more that that have been murdered by white men and women under state authorization with badge and gun, just has taken longer...and it continues. MSM would have dropped the story in 24 hrs or so....
