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.

If the weapons were inside a suitcase, how would any chambermaid not equipped with a magnetometer or gifted with Kryptonian x-ray vision, ever know? Whose business is it how many suitcases a person has?

People who claim there are no regulations on guns in the US don't know anything about US gun laws.

Merely insinuating that I don't know anything about US gun laws still won't make the problem go away. It's become so apparent it's visible from space.

How do we reconcile the fact that as gun ownership in the US has increased by several orders of magnitude, murder and violent crime rates have steadily decreased to near record lows? If the problem in society is violence, and the US has always been a more violent society on almost every level, the US seems to be solving the problem with guns.

The explanation is that you've moved from zero regulations to some regulations. Whether those are enough, is the question here.

> the US seems to be solving the problem with guns

Oh, I can see that. Not.

That of the hotel security.
