Discussion: WATCH LIVE: Trump Expected To Address Las Vegas Shooting At 10:30 AM ET

I’m actually sort of curious to see how/if Trump, a life-long New Yorker, wears the moar-guns-guns-are-good-guns-are-great thoughts-and-prayers mantle. It’s not baked into his lifestyle or worldview; I actually don’t find it impossible to believe he’ll cut against GOP dogma in this instance. Too many “bad hombres” out there who can buy up whatever they want and go crazy with it.

ETA: of course I’ll find out by reading the transcript; listening to that man attempt to talk makes me want to pound a glass of hemlock.

What’s gonna bother me most is the MSM complimenting him on being Presidential.
I don’t even think I’m gonna read the transcript.
ETA 3:40 EDT: CNN. I knew it.

Eh. They follow him, but he owes them not a microgram of loyalty. Donald isn’t real big on the quo part of quid pro quo

Need to wait to get the facts before we call this terrorism
Federal response was tremendous, fantastic, doing a great job
Lone wolf
Emotionally disturbed
Not the time to politicize this
Hearts and prayers

You know Dear Leader will be reading this from what someone else wrote. The only question is who he finds to blame for it.

Also Crooked Hillary, need to pass tax cuts to make sure this doesn’t happen again, and won’t be going to Puerto Rico tomorrow now because Democrats forced the mayor to start a fight so he’ll be here monitoring the situation.

Las Vegas is a major center for automatic weapons tourism. FWIW

Every January, LV hosts a major gun show where guns are routinely bought and stored in their hotel rooms.
