WTF is going on

Greetings,,,,

Not really even sure how to start this off,,,,,

Waking up at ~midnight and I usually have the TV on CNN all night anyway with no sound,,,, I am 1/2 awake looking at  .....  I am not sure,,,  there are people running from something at a concert,, ?  a Bomb maybe,,,   I put up the sound and read the BREAKING NEWS headline of a mass Shooting on Las Vegas ........   holy shit ,, my Son and Daughter in law (hopefully soon) Live in Las vegas,,,   I pick up my phone to text my son - make sure all is allright....  and the thought of what if he does not answer crosses my mind,,,, I text him anyway,,,    HEY - YOU OK ??

I get back an immediate response that  - YES - he is ok,,, he is at the MGM club Hakkasan - they are in Lockdown mode - shelter in place -  due to the still active Shooter situation.  Club door locked and secured inside by the Club security - and outside by Vegas Metro Police.    He just returned from escorting the 2 EMTs that they have at the Club down to the Dean Martin Blvd side of MGM, that has a circle drive. They have set up a triage area there and in the lobby of the MGM.. the Circle drive is the key , so the dozens of Ambulances can enter one end and exit the other , no turning around,,,  He says ,, it looks like a war zone down there,,,  But he and his "wife" are ok,,, at least physically.

Ok - so now the Gun Control debate stirs up again,,,  - I hear ,, this is not the time to talk gun control - it's too soon after the Killings to do it...  and you hear the 2nd amendment folks pop their heads up about being afforded the right to bear arms by the Constitution - really ??  this guy had what 2 dozen Weapons total - all we are told  -- acquired legally ... and he had this Bump Stock accessory - that my son was telling us they found on the Rifles the killer used - The boys friend was one of the team that breached the hotel room, and send him pix of the Rifles and the guy dead on the floor.  So how many guns does one need  ??  2 or 3 dozen,,, and an accessory that turns a semi automatic into pretty much a Full out Automatic....   Did I miss something - was that in the 2nd amendment   ??  right to bear dozens and dozens of guns and a Bump stock ??  If it was then Jefferson is more of a Genius than I already think he was.....   and I love the analogy - IF I guy drive his car into a crown and killed people - would you ban cars ???   ummm No - but we would make sure he had the car registered,, and inspected every so often,, and the had a license to operate that vehicle safely that he had to renew every few years... 

What will come of this, ???  I can see a security check that has you "check" all luggage into the Hotel at the front desk and they will scan it - like the airports - and you pick  up pn the other side or it gets delivered to your room...  so that no one can carry in that many guns again,,, and If you have one - they can see that it is legal and you have a permit,,, if its a pistol - all good stuff I think...

OH - and can we stop using the Killers name every 15 seconds on TV ??   Identify him - Once - so we know who he (or she) is,,, then call them the Killer  ,,, or the Murder ,,, or the FUCKING ASSHOLE ,,, anything buy give them more notoriety that maybe they was looking for in the 1st place,,

Here is what we know for sure - that after Sandy Hook, Orlando , Blackburn VA at VA Tech, Killeen Texas, the list goes on.... and now LAs Vegas - this will not be the last,,, we will add names to the killed list  and the Death toll will continue to rise - Where and When is the only question ,, where is the next Maniac with a gun kill a group of innocent people.. What will be the reason ??  WTF could the Reason possibly be ??   Are the groups or individuals out there that learn for these things , so as to better plan the next assault,,, but hey - we have a 2nd amendment that gives them the right....

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. 

Most folks forget about the well regulated militia part and how that ties to the security of a free state......   You read it like you want - just be ready to honor the next set of Victims that are killed and get the next  "WHAT EVER TOWN"  Strong - that we are/

He laid out the rifles, he loaded the shotgun,
He stacked up the cartridges along the wall.
He knew he would need them for his conversation.
If it went as it he planned, then he might use them all.

He said Listen you people I've got a question
You won't pay attention but I'll ask anyhow.
I found a way that will get me an answer.
Been waiting to ask you 'till now.
Right now!
