        As a mother from Sandy Hook said, this is on Congress and their inability to address gun laws--thoughts and prayers are simply not enough.

        The shooter was in an elevated position; imagine all of the people in the crowd drawing weapons and firing indiscriminately doing more harm

        Gun owners get a collective erection when mass shootings happen. They all believe if they would have been there w/their gun god would have made them shoot true and none of this would’ve happened. #Murica

        I'm sure there were plenty of guns in the Vegas crowd. How did that help?

        People are crazy! There was a mass shooting! Let's buy more guns. The gun culture in America is fucked up.

        Short answer is old white males feel powerless and get very, very angry. Guns are easily purchased and give them back authority.

        Well, likely it's the sense that calls for restrictions drive those who want them to get them while they can. It's a short term market play.
