How the Las Vegas shooting unfolded for me.

"A date which will live in infamy "  - President Franklin D. Roosevelt

   Last night a lone gunman opened fire on a crowd of people killing at least 50 and injuring over 400 at a Las Vegas concert. I want to first send my condolences to those people who lost loved ones in the worst mass shooting in American history. As I watched the scene unfold it was hard to figure what was real and what wasn't. There were reports of several gunmen, bombs set at other casinos, and other misinformation going out. I remember the hardest part for me was we thought the death count was only at 2. then one of our reporters tweeted someone saying it was 20+, since it was the only report of that I hoped that was among the misinformation. Then the sad truth came at the first update. At least 20 people were dead. That's when it became a little more somber at work.

   

   I remember earlier that night reporting on 2 separate terror attacks in Canada and France with a total of 2 civilians killed. While sad it no longer seems to be a huge issue. I commented on this with my co worker who mentioned we would probably have a slow night and just re cap the LDS General Conference meeting. That's when this happened. Some sites say ISIS has claimed responsibility for this attack, but I will wait a little before giving them credit. Either way this is a tragic incident to happen on American soil.

   So my question is this. What do we do about it? Do we ban AR rifles again? I think that would be nearly impossible in this day and age with 3D printing capabilities and the fact it there are so many untraceable rifles. Everyone quotes Australia's way how they banned all the guns and there hasn't been a mass shooting since. Both false there have been a few shootings resulting in several deaths since the 1996, granted not as bad as the Port Arthur Massacre that prompted the ban. And they only banned semi automatic rifles, not all firearms. you can check out the law here: http://www.loc.gov/law/help/firearms-control/australia.php

For those looking for a great resource on where to get some information check out the podcast "Science vs" They just put facts against all the stories you hear. they have 2 different episodes on guns which I think most people looking at it with an open mind will learn something. 

I'm wanting people to answer this question of how to make America safer with ideas and suggestions on how to change the gun culture in America where people can still practice there second amendment rights and those that don't won't live in fear of being killed.
