Sad But Ironic But Seems That Vegas Victims Would Be Part Of Pro Gun Pro Trump/GOP Base.

The crowd at the concert was most likely very pro 2nd Amendment and largely pro Trump. So it is a tragic irony they they became the victims of their own belief systems. Of course they were not all conservative, but based on what I hear from the country and western constituency they are not necessarily for gun control.

None of any of this makes any sense at all. This kind of sick tragedy should NOT happen to anyone.

You have no basis for any of the bullshit in your post. You should be ashamed of yourself, making generalizations.

if they were in need.

Don't deny it - you've done it for years.

You're glad this happened to such a crowd.

Anyone who wants to alert on me - ask for proof.

Rather than harsh it is honest about the reality. Political stands do matter and can effect you. The guy was able to meet ALL present requirements. There may be others like him who are supposedly responsible gun owners. Access to such weapons is everything.

You're making a guess as to who they are, with no evidence to do so.

Some may have been 2nd amendment supporters. But you don't know how many were. Not all country music fans are, you know.

Aldean has a large female following.

Aldean is popular with younger demographics.

I think you might be working off of a flawed assumption.
