GOP Senator Tells Americans to "Get Small"
Excerpt from
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/10/senators- strategy-to-combat-gun-violence-get-small.html "Leading the charge on Tuesday was South Dakota senator John Thune, who said in an interview with NBC News that, given the fact that there?s no way to stop a mass shooting from happening in an ?open society,? citizens? best hope to avoid being violently killed is to ? duck. ?I think people are going to have to take steps in their own lives to take precautions to protect themselves. And in situations like that, you know, try to stay safe. As somebody said ? get small.? It was the most depressing Republican response to the shooting until slightly later in the afternoon, when Oklahoma senator James Inhofe (famous for holding up a snowball to disprove climate change) pinned the responsibility for Sunday night?s massacre on sanctuary cities." Hahahaha. What the hell is he talking about? One round from a bazooka could have taken out the shooter. The obvious solution is to legalize bazooka open-carry. Then the crowd would have handled it. The problem is the law prevents bazooka open-carry. What are our politicians thinking? |

They are not that accurate to start with, unless you are talking about a modern laser guided anti tank weapon. Then there is the collateral damage problem. If we really thought this would be a thing, the answer would have been SWAT snipers covering the buildings from other buildings. If Trump had been there, the snipers would have been there. (ever since Dallas) It would have stopped in about 20-30 seconds if there was anyone qualified to shoot back at that guy. |

Replace the word "bazooka" with whatever version of LAW is appropriate, and legalize them for open carry. Biden is a hell of a lot closer to my reality than that asshole Thune telling me to "get small." Collateral damage? Less than 58 dead concert goers I'd bet. One round just close would take the perp out. Price of Freedom. Get some Army/Marine LAWS trainers to train open carry applicants down at the local range. There would be no shortage of applicants. Open carry ticket for LAWS and toting one at a concert - how cool is that? What's not to like about it? Better than carrying a tricked out boom box.

(ever since Dallas) It would have stopped in about 20-30 seconds if there was anyone qualified to shoot back at that guy. Couple hundred rounds could land on the Presidential convoy before then. Besides, too expensive for widespread use. Full auto fire raining down from high elevation has changed the game for the Secret Service. They might be considering LAWS teams for the Presidential detail. You "staying small?" Why would anyone want to shoot Trump and risk having Mike Sus-Pence take over? I'll be perfectly happy if the various investigations going on tie Trump up in a series of Gordian knots, unable to do any more damage to the country until we can elect a smarter Congress in 2018 and decent POTUS in 2020. It's only a rumor, but there are stories circulating that Trump's chief of staff, like his secretary of state, thinks Trump is a moron and is seriously considering quitting. |

Rumors of SOS Tillerson quitting were smashed by Tillerson himself yesterday in an unusual (for him) public announcement. I like his style. |

So what? He's a human being with a tough job to do and I am sure it comes with some frustrations. The problem is with insiders who leak every little detail of private conversations to the press. It's gone way too far. One thing I liked about Tillerson's statement was that Trump expects results from those who work for him. What a concept! I see nothing wrong with that as long as the expectations and objectives are legal and fair. Trump is a taskmaster in his goals of getting things done and is not afraid to scold the slackers. Working for him is not a job for wussies. It's a job for adults. |

I think I saw the range for the shooter in Vegas was about 600 yards. |
