Oh wow.

If you think that mansplaining about "not assault weapons" and "assault weapons" in light of today's events in Las Vegas is going to be helpful in discussing the huge gun violence problem the USA has, you are the problem.

50+ dead, 400+ taken to hospitals.

Save us all the wisdom you need to share about the bullshit you believe.

This is how these guys handle everything - by dragging us out into the weeds of the mansplains rather than actually addressing the issues.

Don't be a dick.

But sure, guns don't kill people. People* kill people.

* especially American people do

A 64-year old white guy who loves guns was able to stack his hotel room with tons of them without anyone doing squat about it. Look, LOOK how surprised I am!

Bill O'Reilly: Las Vegas shooting 'the price of freedom'
http://thehill.com/homenews/media/353503-bill-oreilly-las-vegas-shooting-the-price-of-freedom

Um, nope Bill. You're the price of freedom. This isn't freedom, it's NRA making coin.

So, we are supposed to make laws based only on feelings, on emotions?

Is that how I am supposed to be reading this?

Good to know.

What I wonder is how long he built that arsenal and why he built all that 'just' to shoot up a country music concert. You don't have that many guns in a hotel room to shoot up one group of people. How much worse was his original plan? Why did he do this? How will the media assign this to be the latest one-off lone wolf when there's enough of them to field a couple of baseball teams at this point?

I see the usual folk doing the usual mansplaining, exactly like you predicted.
