The Miami shootings took place in a very wealthy suburb where a lot of wealthy kids and families were impacted. The same think happened in Sandy Hook. But for some reason the Miami shootings have taken root and will lead to some change. Maybe it was the straw that broke the camels back.

I lost all hope for gun control after nothing happened in Sandy Hook. Twenty young kids died and nothing happened.

The Las Vegas shootings took place at a country music festival and county music people are conservative and love guns so I"m not surprised that nothing happened.

Ft. Lauderdale would be more correct than Miami.

I think the Saudi king assassination attempt and the guy being a gun runner for Alwaleed is the truth behind it, and why it was squashed so quickly. It's also why bin Salman consolidated power and arrested so many people. I think he and Trump worked together on that move and didn't need the nation up in arms wanting war with Saudi. They took care of those responsible quietly

Wait, what? Is there more information on this?

Yeah.

Prince Salman took Trump at his word and started steering SA in a different direction religiously and economically. Al Waleed (largest share holder of Twit, Citi, Fox, and many others) got kinda pissed about that and tried to pop a cap in his arse in LV but we found out before hand and foiled. (there are videos at the Tropicana appearing to show Salman getting extracted by some rather rough looking dudes) Upon nearly getting his jimmy whacked "Boyz in the Hood" style by his not so nice cousin, Salman took it up a notch and seized all the accounts of those doing the frickery and arrested nearly 2000 Saudi royalty. Said Prince Al Waleed is not hanging upside down and getting his toenails pulled out by catfish skinning pliers.

From the TPA’s OP of the Q thread.

I think it has more to do with the casino

There are no bylines of who is responsible for the deaths of these people. No one has been held accountable for lack of security and protection in the loss of life in Vegas.

Where are the law suits?

Country music people are conservative. You aren't going to have lawsuits from conservatives over the Las Vegas shootings. Conservatives think it's okay to have deaths like this as long as they have their twisted notion of freedom.

The real tragedy is that conservatives--the God and country types--were sacrificed by other conservatives.
