Without trampling on the Second Amendment, what commonsense steps can be taken to reduce this horrific toll? Here are four:

Ban devices known as bump stocks and trigger cranks that can be used to modify rifles to fire more like machine guns. Federal law already severely restricts ownership of fully automatic machine guns. Why allow the manufacture and sale of these workarounds?

Reinstate a ban on military-style assault weapons, manifestly designed for killing human beings. They were also the weapon of choice in the Pulse nightclub killing of 49 last year and the Sandy Hook slaying of children in 2012. When assault weapons were banned from 1994 to 2004, studies showed a marked decrease in their use. More than three-fifths of Americans favor a new ban.

Reinstate a ban on large-capacity magazines, typically defined as holding more than 10 rounds. From the sound of automated fire recorded during the Las Vegas shooting, Paddock clearly loaded his rifles with these large magazines. That allowed him to discharge dozens of bullets before reloading. The 1994 federal law also banned these magazines and reduced their use before Congress allowed the law to lapse.

Limit gun purchases. Between homes and hotel room, Paddock assembled a cache of 49 firearms. During his killing spree, this would have allowed him to move from one rifle to another if a weapon jammed from overheating, a circumstance common when guns are fired continuously at a high rate. Some states limit gun purchases to one per month, a restriction that might have at least slowed Paddock's arming up.

    There is nothing to discuss. Communists like yourself always exploit tragedy, playing on emotion to advance your political agenda.


    The impact of Bush linking 9/11 and Iraq

    American attitudes about a connection have changed, firming up the case for war.


    By Linda Feldmann, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor March 14, 2003

    WASHINGTON — In his prime-time press conference last week, which focused almost solely on Iraq, President Bush mentioned Sept. 11 eight times. He referred to Saddam Hussein many more times than that, often in the same breath with Sept. 11.

    Bush never pinned blame for the attacks directly on the Iraqi president. Still, the overall effect was to reinforce an impression that persists among much of the American public: that the Iraqi dictator did play a direct role in the attacks. A New York Times/CBS poll this week shows that 45 percent of Americans believe Mr. Hussein was "personally involved" in Sept. 11, about the same figure as a month ago.

    Nothing there that would have stopped him. Nothing. He could pass any background check. he took a long time to prepare for this. The government knew how many guns he was buying as each had to be called in for an instant check.

    I wish you people would learn that you cannot regulate evil people. This is evil, plain and simple. Evil people are often very patient and creative.

    Why not outlaw gasoline? 87 dead. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/dozens-die-fire-illegal-bonx-social-club-1990-article-1.2152091

    Oh yeah you want gas for your Honda.

    You can not legislate evil.

    How many less people would have been shot if he didn't have a fully automatic weapon with a large clip? You said you knew people who died there. They could have been saved if he didn't have access to that.

    But let's continue to do nothing. Cause gasoline and shit.

    About the same as if we outlaw abortion. Not to mention that no one is calling for banning guns.
