The guns, the gun humpers and their NRA owned congress are the fucking reason this continues. If a bunch of women or black or brown people were doing these things it would have been delt with by now. It's beyond disgraceful.

Police said the shooter, identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, killed himself as they closed in on him inside the Mandalay Bay Hotel. The massacre is the deadliest in United States history, and for at least one major law enforcement official, it’s something Americans will just have to get used to. During an appearance on MSNBC Live with Stephanie Ruhle, former New York City and Los Angeles police commissioner Bill Bratton sounded a grim tone,"
