    Default Celebrities Rush to Call for Gun Control After Las Vegas Mass Shooting

    Most are your typical celebrity liberal call for gun control, nothing new. But Piers Morgan then chimes in and states that Nevada has "permissive" gun laws, of course implying that's the issue.

    Then I have to ask, a place like Chicago and their gun laws. Are they permissive, Piers? And being one of the toughest on gun laws in the nation, how has that worked out for them, Piers? I would imagine that the criminals, at the very least, are unable to get guns as a result, and therefore the gun crimes and murders in Chicago must be one of the lowest in the nation.

    Celebrities Rush to Call for Gun Control After Las Vegas Mass Shooting

    Celebrities took to social media Monday morning just hours after the tragic Las Vegas mass shooting to call for increased gun control measures.

    Breitbart News reported that the attack occurred while country music singer Jason Aldean was playing and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified the attacker as 64-year-old Stephen Craig Paddock. He opened fire on concert-goers from an elevated position–the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. LVMPD SWAT members burst into Paddock’s room Sunday night and found him dead.

    Michael Ian Black tweeted:



    Simon also criticized the sale of semi-automatic rifles, describing them as “easily convertible to auto mode.”

    Russell Simmons added:

    I am sure the shooter would have heeded gun laws, had they been in place. those who shoot 400+people generally abide by all other laws.

    It amazes me how many celebrities and politicians are firearm experts....

    None of them are celebrities in my opinion. Hollyweirdo's, and Democrats always have to resort to GUN CONTROL...until...somebody tries to take their ARMED BODYGUARDS away.
    Besides. Anything that comes out of Hollywood, or California these days...always have a tint of Hypocrisy, and hate, based on pure, unquestionable...STUPIDITY.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    I truly cannot stand this biotch, I really can't. She's already got enough attention thanks to her "talent", tours and albums, and yet she still goes out attention whoring left and right. Never talking about or posting about music, always some weird agenda.

    A lot of dead folks and blood due to shootings in the prior 8 years when Obama was in office. And yes, I checked, not a single PEEP from her that he may have blood on his hands, none, nada. Liberal hack.

    Lady Gaga: ‘Blood Is on the Hands’ of Lawmakers Who Don’t Pass Gun Control

    Pop megastar Lady Gaga said “blood is on the hands of” Congress and President Donald Trump if they don’t unite and enact gun control legislation in the wake of the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas Sunday night.
    “This is terrorism plain and simple. Terror bares no race, gender or religion. Democrats & Republicans please unite now #guncontrol,” the “Poker Face” singer tweeted Monday.

    Responding to a statement from House Speaker Paul Ryan, Gaga said, “blood is on the hands” of lawmakers who don’t pass increased gun control measures after the horrific shooting that claimed the lives of at least 50 people and injured more than 400 others.

    We already have gun control and our government is in violation of the Second Amendment already. See how well it's worked? I think the Sergeant Major already pointed out the weapon(s) used is illegal. Stopped this guy, didn't it ....

    I know, we can make ANOTHER law against criminals legally owning weapons. THAT ought to work

    There is NEVER a good time to talk about further-restricting the rights of the citizens to acquire and keep and use weapons of any design. When I see people saying "Pass laws to keep this from happening again!" i think "That person is well-meaning but a fool."

    Couple truths -

    1: Evil people will kill as many people as they want until they are stopped.

    2: Evil people will use whatever tools they have to conduct their killing.

    3: 35,092 people died in motor-vehicle crashes in 2015. Thirty-five THOUSAND people died.

    4: More than 40 people were killed, and hundreds injured within the past 12 months due to Vehicle Ramming attacks.

    5: Nobody calls for tougher restrictions on who gets a car.

    I don't get the left's reasoning though, it's just ass backwards.

    They take a massive tragedy like in Vegas where people were SHOT, and then turn around and try and tell people that since there's nut cases out there shooting at you, we need to take all your guns away to make you SAFER. They want eliminate your capability to DEFEND yourself to make you SAFER.

    Well that thought pattern is like... WHAAAAA... WTF are you whack jobs thinking?

    But there is a difference between a small hand gun and what he used, no? Why didn't he use an anti aircraft gun, RPG or even a tank? Maybe because they weren't at his disposal? Why would that be?

    Do you think guns have killed or saved more people?
    How many times have you used your gun to defend your life outside of military?

    They are clearly relevant and followups to your comments. I never grew up with guns so, clearly I don't understand the attachment or fascination outside call of duty video games. My question to many of you is why the 2nd amendment and attachment to guns seems to be pathological? It's like your brain shuts off and all debate is blasphemous because the founding fathers were "gods" these "american rights" are unquestionable, holy, natural law. Gun ownership is like a part of your being. It's an attribute. It's fundamental to who you are. Take it away and you take away part of you. Why is that? How did that come to be? How can some people live their entire lives without this attachment while others it's integral to who they are.

    Why's his name not Kim and just use a nuke? What if the maid and cleaning crew on the floor the attacker was on were carrying and riddled this dude before he got going?

    What if's make poor examples. The fact is, it is not a "what if" had the latter happened. The left would be calling for more gun control because the maid used excessive force.

    And think this logic over Pete ... the left/Dems want to disarm the public. Yet the left/Dems are the ones that support these mobs like BLM, and AntiFa where police are reluctant to act to protect the public. So, who's going to protect you? You? Ever negotiated with a mob that are more than happy they know you aren't armed? How about a criminal that knows you aren't armed? THEY are STILL criminals and don't care about the law or they wouldn't be fucking criminals. They LOVE gun control. Makes their job easier.

    Y'all make no sense.
