Public policy always strikes me being macro-based, not incident-based. But, that's me.

I guess the answer is clear: ban guns from hotels.

So simple...yet so effective!

...if you outlaw guns in hotels...only outlaws in hotels will have guns...

Not saying this is totally relevant but...

Las Vegas shooter's dad was a convicted bank robber who was on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List for a decade. The FBI believed he was 'psychopathic with suicidal tendencies'

Some reports are suggesting the use of a trigger crank. I don't know. The audio of the shooting sounded faster to me. Here's some video of a guy using a trigger crank:

The latest reports I saw now said that they found 18-20 guns in his hotel room, most of them semi or automatic rifles. If he had them all loaded and a lot of magazines ready to go as well...

I saw a report earlier that it took about 70-75 minutes between the first call to the police and the cops blowing open his hotel door. Not sure if accurate. I can iamgine that on the ground at the concert it would be very difficult to tell where the fire was coming from...any of the three resort hotels nearly or at ground level from behind...Police supposedly found him because he created so much gunsmoke as to set off the room's fire alarm.

She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good lookin' momma who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night
Well she moved down here at the age of eighteen
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you baby but I got to keep movin'...on, keep movin' on"

Into the Great Wide Open is an underrated song.

Great song, great video. All of the titans of 80s pop are vanishing.

Good article, Ent.

One of my takeaways from the Burns Vietnam series was the tremendous amount of trust Americans had in the truthtelling of the federal government. I was a war protester, and I remember arguing with my father about the war. His point was always that the government knew things that the general public didn't, otherwise, they (the gov) wouldn't make such a huge investment in what seemed to be a dead-end.
