Weighing In On The Las Vegas Mass Shooting

I've been reluctant because I'm sure--I like many others--are up to our ears in the over coverage. However I do want address some thoughts I have on the shooting.

Late Night TV Shows
I don't watch them because who wants to be inundated with everything that was already over exhaustively covered throughout the day. I don't know what ever happened to being able to escape for a few hours before bed with some unrelated comedy entertainment. Gosh sake--I for one--feel we don't need these hosts to get in on the act. Enough is enough already.

Speaking Of TV Hosts
Megyn Kelly promised on her very first morning show on NBC she had enough of politics. Somehow her show was going be something completely different from her previous gig at FOX News. Well that lasted about as long as a ice cream cone on a hot sidewalk. Today (Tuesday, 10/03/2017) she began by emotionally weighing in on the shooting. "I do feel helpless in these times. Do you? The mental health laws are not going to change and we know it. The gun laws, right? And even if they did change, you would get people like this guy"

Of course Sean Hannity last night too had to check in. His position is "it's too soon to start talking about it". Accusing cold hearted Democrats of playing politics instead of focusing on the victims. My response would this headline from 'The New York Times'--477 Days. 521 Mass Shootings. Zero Action From Congress

MSNBC's Morning Joe' co host Mika Brzezinski. complained not a single Republican would come on the program to discuss it.

Meanwhile over at "Fox And Friends" this morning one of the guests accused CNN of being partly to blame.


My OpinionsOf course we could require manufacturers to produce semiautomatics that couldn't be modified without infringing on gun ownership rights. BUT WE AIN'T GONNA.

We could update the second amendment to reflect today's advanced firearms. Back when our forefathers wrote it a ram, flint, powder and a lead shot was the latest technology BUT WE AIN'T GONNA.

For every 10 people swearing by guns--10 more will swear at guns. For some altering the constitution is as blasphemous as someone wishing to change the bible verses accounting for mankind's beginnings in Genesis. Face it--for many the constitution has become a sacred unalterable document. A religion as it were.

We go through this through every shooting. With 10 on the right--10 on the left--all we're accomplishing is more animosity towards one another. You know what would help? If a whole lot of those in the public spotlight would shut the hell up.

If it were possible to take away all the guns and knives these bastards would still find a way to kill other people. There's plenty of other options this shooter could have chosen. A chemical attack, fertilizer bomb, mowing down people in a vehicle or since he had a pilots license could have a crashed his plane into them.

The battle between good and evil has always been since the beginning of time. This constant bickering will not change that. So talk hosts need to knock it off. This accomplishes nothing. Evil people have always existed. There's no way of eliminating them in this world of the living. For some death will come sooner then for others whether by age, disease or at the hands of another--no one escapes death. It's all part of our temporary being.

If you had a certain number of days left to spend how would you use them?
Pissing and moaning trying to change the world you're shortly going to leave behind?
OR......
