Indeed, care to fathom how this horrible tragedy would be spun and exploited if THIS came true?

Hillary Clinton never misses a chance to exploit a tragedy for her own personal and political gain.
Ever the hypocrite, she urged Americans to “put politics aside.” Then she proceeded to immediately inject politics into the catastrophic shooting in Las Vegas.
Clinton knew she could not call for a ban of a weapon already banned by law. The fully automatic weapon allegedly used by gunman, Stephen Paddock, was made illegal under federal law back in 1986.
So Clinton invented an ancillary argument that more people would have died if Paddock had used a “silencer.” Survivors were still being treated when she began condemning the National Rifle Association and attacking the law on “silencers.”
Clearly, Clinton knows nothing about firearms, although she purports to be an instant expert on everything.
Forget that Clinton used the wrong term. “Silencers” don’t silence. The proper and accurate term is “suppressor” because they diminish, but do not eliminate, the sound of gunfire.
But Clinton’s claim that Paddock could have used such a device on his automatic weapon only underscores that Clinton is nothing, if not obtuse. Suppressors do not function well on automatic weapons. They tend to melt or malfunction under the intense heat of automatic fire. For this reason, there are only a few companies that even manufacture them for use on automatic weapons. And there is almost no marketplace for them.
Yet, Clinton is calling for a ban on a device that has no significant history of use in U.S. crime.

People there say they thought the sounds were fireworks. They knew it was gunfire when they noticed the muzzle flashes, and people around them getting hit. It would seem that even an actual “silencer” wouldn’t have made much difference.

Totally awesome that Hillary refuses to STFU and that the enemedia continues to allow this loser to suck all of the oxygen from all other Democrats/leftists/progessives!
Hate Ryan but it isn't helpful to presume every worst possible scenario - the House has passed a lot of Bills that the Senate pays no attention to - I'd wager McConnell is worse than Ryan in most things.
She is not uninformed.
She is driving her evil agenda.
...Fox said it can shoot like 700 rounds per...second? Minute? Manually...
Talking heads can say some funny/ridiculous stuff in trying to sound authoritative on firearms
So can democrats.

Hell!
She could be WELL 'informed' and she'd STILL Politicize Las Vegas Massacre!
Ya get off a couple of low-noise shots and then slip away.
I don’t think they make a suppressor that can eliminate the FLASH!
Yes, she could be, and would without a doubt.
Their mass delusion as very scary--and for good reason: it is very dangerous!
Another theory on the shooters motivation. Maybe he wanted to provoke legislation on guns and was willing to die for it. He may have been a super anti gunner and thought this is the way to make all guns illegal, do another mass shooting.
I heard last night that he had every manufacturers gun in his possession. Why would that be, deliberate?
Isn't this a bullet point (groan) of Liberalism?
They choke on the gnat of 'mass shootings' and swallow whole the CHOICE industry.
The evidence PROVES that they do NOT care about human life at all!
