The Daily Caller – by Jack Crowe
A Huffington Post political reporter called on Congress to enact more extensive gun control measures Monday as the death toll continues rising in Las Vegas.
A shooting Sunday night in Nevada is considered the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Jennifer Bendery, a senior HuffPo political reporter briefly recounted the carnage inflicted on concertgoers Sunday night and then quickly pivoted toward a call for legislative progress on gun control.
Vegas mass shooting: 50 dead (at least). 200 injured.
Congress won't do anything about gun laws.

Stephen Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nev., opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino around 10 p.m. on a crowd of thousands of concert goers gathered on the street below, killing at least 50 and wounding more than 200. Police found Paddock dead when they arrived on scene.
Authorities have not yet completed a background check on Paddock, who is identified as a white man, but did find several unspecified weapons in his hotel room, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said at a press conference at 1:30 a.m. Monday morning.
Police have located the suspect’s wife, Marilou Danley, a 62-year-old Asian female, believed to have been traveling with Paddock prior to the attack. They do not believe she was involved in the incident.
Videos taken at the scene show mass hysteria as gun shots rang out and the band fled the stage.

Authorities have not yet determined Paddock’s motivation or any ideological commitments that may have prompted the attack.
Why am I not surprised? I say, get rid of Huffington.
Gun control? Could make machine guns illegal (which they are sans permits).
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither. He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.”
-Benjamin Franklin
I’m confused. How will more gun measures stop something like this?
So are we supposed to have to fight someone shooting at us with our bare hands?
Funny, when the shooter shoots at politicians, they call for politicians to be armed. But when they shoot ordinary people, they need to take away our guns. Imagine that!
“… killing at least 50 and wounding more than 200.”

Let me know when it gets up to 100 dead & over 1,000 injured.
“Videos taken at the scene show mass hysteria as gun shots rang out and the band fled the stage.”
SOMETHING ‘rang out’.
The sound of “MORE GUN CONTROL NEEDED!”
“A Huffington Post political reporter called on Congress to enact more extensive gun control measures…”
And WE call for more extensive PROPAGANDA CONTROL MEASURES, commie jewb#tch!

Over 500 yards with an AR and a bump stock?
Now we know this narrative is total bullshit
Plus your average AR would have locked up somewhere around 300 continuous rounds fired , to have over 500 wounded and 59 dead he would have had to shoot over 700 rounds easy
Not the same components or tolerances as a fully auto capable M4 or variant
Someone soon needs to reinact this story line and prove it without a doubt as false , than find out why all the dam lies
