Is it me or has this story fallen off the news cycle with rapidity? After Connecticut it seemed like months of media coverage. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

Couple of points on this I have been considering: -Connecticut was children so that was particularly heinous -Vegas was a whole bunch of out-of-towners, lots of them went home so the story was diffused vs. centralized to a community -Connecticut is a hot-bed on anti-gun sentiment so the shooting there was a flag they could wave in the center of the NE media circus -Nevada is sensibly pro-gun so the anti's don't / can't get the same kind of traction -we had BHO as the President the media thought they could cajole into tigher restrictions; not so with DJT -there really isn't much else to say about Vegas: lunatic loner gets a bunch of guns, holes up, shoots down at a concert, then kills himself Regarding Campos - has his legal status re. immigration been confirmed? ------------------------------------------------------ Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

Ya, definitely noticed this. Even on Facebook, when in the past, events like this would clog up my news feed, arguments, etc...not much at all. Maybe everyone is just exhausted from the whole bout of election negativity? | |||

I think they ran out of "sensible" ideas. | |||

He may be a lefty. Trust me if he had been a right winger, it would be perpetual headlines. I remember when they thought the theatre shooter was a tea party member, all the networks reported with glee. When they found out opposite, it started to pull back rather quickly. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

Campos has just disappeared. Due to go on talking news shows like Hannity in 2 hours but poof...gone and hasn't been heard from in 4 days now. Arkancide in the desert? ________________________ God spelled backwards is dog | |||

I agree it has fallen off of the media radar, but I think that is because there was no progress being made on the Leftist agenda the way there was with Sandy Hook. I can guarantee you that if the election had gone the other way, we'd be pounded with propaganda and opinion to move the agenda. With a Rep controlled congress and Trump in the White House, there is no fuel for the tinder. I predict we'll see bumpstock prices cave as well as other devices.

It's weird, all the sudden them Dems have quieted down about gun control, I figured they would be pushing that as their # 1 priority for a lot longer than this. "Hold my beer.....Watch this". | |||

Not sure about that... several bills were introduced since early October- one looking to prohibit online ammo sales, another looking to prohibit magazines greater than 10 rounds, a third bill requiring reporting of more than 2 long guns purchased. There are some links in the Gun Control sub forum. | |||

Not to mention a lot of the nit-werk reporters and producers probably live in CT. So they could take the train, then drive a little bit, do their "stand in front of the scene and pout" bit for the cameras, and still be home in time for dinner. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

I think the difference has to do with two things primarily. The first you mentioned and that is decentralized victim pool, they all got shot in Vegas but the affected loved ones are scattered all over the country. The second is that Vegas has a very vested interest in moving on as quickly as possible. No municipal benefit or responsibility to hold vigils, come together, place wreaths, etc.... Most victims were not local and they want this to be forgotten asap so the next plane loads of tourist are not reminded of what happened or worse, don't come at all. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

So, it can't be that the guy really wasn't interested in politics. No, because no evidence of his political leanings have been discovered, the guy must have been a "lefty" because the news media is saying nothing about his political affiliations. Will you kindly stop for a minute and think of the whacky thing you're suggesting? Any evidence about the guy is news. You think these brilliant "journalists" could suppress evidence like that so completely that it could not leak? Here- try considering this radical idea- no evidence of the guy's political leanings has emerged because the guy didn't care about politics and wasn't politically active. No evidence has emerged- not because of some grand conspiracy- but because there is no such evidence. Hello?? McFly??? There's no conspiracy, before or after the fact, and the guy just wanted to kill people and be remembered for it. | |||

My god, please keep up. Harvey Weinstein couldn't keep it in his pants. That story is far more important than trying to get to the bottom of why 50+ people were senselessly gunned down in Vegas.  ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman. Kurt Schlichter | |||

https://www.reviewjournal.com/...ion-of-jesus-campos/ MGM told the Review-Journal in a Tuesday email: “Jesus Campos wants to tell his story at a time and place of his choosing. He’s asked that everyone respect his request for privacy. We could not be more proud of Jesus.” | |||

They're starting to worry about the 2018 elections and don't want to push too hard on gun control--too many Dems are running in states that went for Trump. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
