Las Vegas shooting isn’t deadliest mass shooting in US history. The deadliest mass shootings were acts of white supremacist terrorism. (1/x)

It’s a trip through the history that the US would rather we not teach or remember.
From Wounded Knee to mass lynching and race riots led by white supremacists who murdered blacks or Native Americans to assert their dominance.
Some things just haven’t changed.

This is the history that simpleminded ‘patriots’ expend vast energy to keep from looking at. They know they’re doing it, but they deny it. This is the emotional distortion that feeds their rage at BLM, and at the NFL players who kneel to bring attention to our historical and ongoing race problem.

A post at Fark from Mike_LowELL It’s about nine hours old, so the numbers are low.
You know, I was reading one of the headlines earlier, and it kinda made me wonder what would happen if you brought the Founding Fathers into the future, and you told them about this: “50 dead, 400 injured in shooting.”
They’d probably first ask what you mean by “shooting”, and ask why an army or militia attacked innocent civilians, what was the root cause of the unrest, what would lead a government to attack its own citizens. Then you would have to explain to them, “No, we don’t know why he did it. This was one person. No affiliation.”
They would be confused. They would probably try to clarify, maybe they’d ask how one person was able to kill so many people over so many years, and how he was able to do this without ever being caught or killed. Then you would say, “No, this all happened over the course of a single hour.”
They’d still be very, very confused. They wouldn’t be able to make much sense of it at all. Then, in the simplest possible terms that you could, without having their brains flake, you would explain to them that the explosion of learning through the 16th century, along with 19th-century revolutions in industry, began a period of incredible technological progress continuing well into the the 21st century.
As it turned out, one of those innovations involved the creation of firearms that could shoot tens of bullets a second and fire hundreds of the things before a man had to reload, and that these guns could deal lethal damage from close to half-a-mile out.
Assuming the Founding Fathers haven’t completely lost their minds, then perhaps, perhaps they believe this “mass shooting” be an exceptional circumstance, that such an incident operates well outside the boundaries of the law. That’s when you tell them mass shootings with dozens of deaths happen close to once a year, using legally-acquired weapons.
The defense of “the right to bear arms” in the 21st century, you’d tell them, is the same one you made at the time: That these weapons are necessary to protect citizens against the evils of their government. You then pause to think whether you should tell the Founding Fathers that our modern military can obliterate those “automatic firearms” with flying iron birds that drop exploding cannonballs, for the fear that you may just snap their brains.
But either way, you tell them to make the right decision, you wish them good luck, and you throw them back into the timewarp with the help of Obama’s time machine. The greatest minds of our country’s genesis must now create a government that accounts for a world where “the right to bear arms” can cause hundreds of casualties in a matter of minutes.
Meanwhile, in the altered timeline, the right-wing trolls on Fark post massive pictures of their knife collections and make edgy statements like, “Yeah, let’s see him take a swing at me when I have my knife!” And that’s when George Washington looks down from the sky, says “Hey Mike!”, and gives me a thumbs-up, the laughtrack howls, and the credits roll.
And I guess what I’m trying to say is, fark these dickless manlets and their killsticks. Goddamn, this is bullshiat. Like I said in the other thread: There are people defending Charles Whitman’s right to go up to the clock tower with a machine gun. I mean, holy shiat. I breathe the same air as these people

Today one of my managers retired and I had lunch with him. (I also inherited his very large monitor to replace my old, tiny monitor.) I asked him where he was first going on vacation and he said to Laguna Beach. Where he would be getting married, to his partner of nearly 40 years. They met 40 years ago next week at Arizona State University. Of course, I got all choked up at that because for so many years and still to some extent, society has conspired to keep same-sex couples apart through legal and other means. I think he was embarrassed.
Later today, one of my friends from college (35 years ago) noted that Rep. Maxine Waters is calling for the dissolution of my evil too big to fail employer.
Not that that’s going to happen, but if it did, it would give me an excuse to move to Virginia and take up picketing theatre in front of the NRA offices and National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, as I’ve been threatening to do for several years now.

Rude Pundit ain’t in the mood for NRA bullshit.
Not that gun owners care or have any perspective. Let me give you one anecdote before getting to the motherfucking NRA. Lorraine Berry wrote to me this morning: “I’m trapped in a waiting room in Florida waiting for a mammogram. Watching the news and some newsperson asks why the guy did this. I say, ‘Because we sell machine guns in this country.’ Immediately, 5 women come after me, tell me they love their guns. One owns 6. Immediately start speculating it was Antifa that did this. I cite facts but they accuse me of being emotional…After they thought I had stopped paying attention, they started talking amongst themselves. ‘My son-in-law is a registered gun dealer. I know so many people with mental problems that own guns. I don’t know how they got through the loopholes. Unless you’ve been certified, you can buy a gun.’ But they’re so sure that it’s their right to own those guns. Told me it was their constitutional right. They told me they were tired of being ‘silenced.’ I said, ‘You haven’t had a gun law passed in a decade. You own Congress. I have no idea how you are the victims here.’”

I heard a Dr. on CNN earlier. Mix with stampede type injuries, but mostly gunshot IIRC.
At the Amritsar Massacre in 1919, the 67 soldiers who fired their weapons discharged almost exactly 1650 rounds, causing (officially) 1529 casualties, 329 dead and 1200 wounded. This was even with an unknown, but possibly significant, number of the shooters aiming above the crowd rather than directly into them. Many sources put the casualty numbers higher.

Legal and readily available online.
Maybe the States should use the Second Amendment to manage firearms and create official “State Militias” and require that in order to own and use any firearms in the State you must be a card carrying, insurance covered, and dues paying member of said Militia.
This would meet the 2nd Amendment requirement of “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state,….”.
To get your official “State Militia” membership card you must attend so many hours of certified firearms training, complete an extensive background check and demonstrate competence in using and handling firearms. You must also have to show a secure place/location for the storage of the firearms you own. The dues you pay would be used to pay for the training and background checks.
If someone elects not to join the State Militia, then any firearm(s) they own would be
subject to immediate confiscation when discovered followed by fines and/or jail time.
From a band which played a few hours before the shooting in Las Vegas, but was still present at the site when it happened:
However, one member of the band went even further, posting a lengthy message on Twitter about his personal response to the attack. After spending the night fearing for his life, Caleb Keeter, the group’s lead guitarist, spoke up about gun control.
“I’ve been a proponent of the 2nd amendment my entire life. Until the events of last night. I cannot express how wrong I was. We actually have members of our crew with [Concealed Handgun Licenses], and legal firearms on the bus,” Keeter wrote. “They were useless.” He continued:
“We couldn’t touch them for fear police might think we were part of the massacre and shoot us. A small group (or one man) laid waste to a city with dedicated, fearless police officers desperately trying to help, because of access to an insane amount of fire power.
“Enough is enough.

That’s not how journalism works.
The media here are reporting that the Las Vegas suspect’s “girl friend” has been located here in Tokyo.
No word on what she’s doing here. Just a guess on my part, but I think she was probably just transiting between other countries.
The bartender who was in the story I posted above is on CNN right now.

What he should be fantasizing about is his weapon jamming. No way a magazine that size is going to feed every round.
And then trying to change it under fire? Good luck!
Rumor at one of the fevered swamps I cruise some of the members there are claiming that the murderer was ID’d at some anti-Trump rally while wearing a pink hat and carrying a sign. IOW, some nutjob found a picture of someone that resembles him and are posting it as fact. Another member is claiming that he was a member of Antifa.
Crazy fucks.
When you can show me how gun control will prevent criminals from obtaining guns, I’ll be happy to listen. The bad guys always find a way.

I already knew it was bullshit, just by its stench. :)
Being of rather humble origin, I have always been reluctant to think of myself as smarter than most other people, or part of some kind of elite. Looking at the slavering RWNJ troll hordes, though, and comparing them to LGF, I really have to conclude that I am a Lord of Creation, or at least a favored acolyte.

If members of LGF are Lords of Creation, why aren’t we in charge? /s
I certainly am not some sort of “elite.” (Well, I guess you could call me a coastal elite liberal, since I live on the Inland Coast.)
Even smart people can be taken in by conspiracy theories or irrational thinking. There are plenty of smart RWNJs.

I call those types “willfully stupid.” They’re by far the worst. Someone who’s ignorant in the conventional sense of the word (i.e. they simply don’t know something) can be educated and change their mind accordingly. But the willfully ignorant/stupid revel in the toxic muck of dumbassery and drag others down to sink with them.
They read the tweets.
And they corrected the misspelling of Calvary Church! They deleted the trip altogether. My brain is fried.

My wife glanced at that photo of the guy holding the mass shooter clip and said “At first I thought that was a giant micrometer.”
It’s TOO SOON. Too soon after Stephen Paddock was found with 18 guns for gun control. Let the NRA mourn the loss of a great customer.

re: #142 Stanley Sea
Goddamn snowflakes. I was on one of my golf websites today and there was a thread about being a cop as a career, and one cop replied its a good job if you don’t let the “dishonest media” get you down. (You know the media only reports the bad stuff LE does, not the good stuff, like i saw people praising them all day today).
Im tempted to ask for the guys precinct address to send him a care package to soothe his fragile feelings.
Is it just me, or does the Republican Party simply exist to defend the indefensible, attack the truth, and deny the inalienable rights of Americans who are female and/or black and brown?
