Country music star Eric Church slams NRA for Las Vegas massacre
Where Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock bought his guns;
it was all legal
How They Got Their Guns
Eric Church, a headliner at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas where dozens were killed last October, is slamming the National Rifle Association for not taking enough action to prevent mass shootings.
"There are some things we can’t stop," Church told Rolling Stone, "like the disgruntled kid who takes his dad’s shotgun and walks into a high school. But we could have stopped the guy in Vegas."
Church performed at the festival two nights before a gunman unleashed a rapid-fire barrage of bullets from the 32nd floor of a hotel down on the crowd of about 22,000, sending terrified concertgoers running for their lives. At least 58 people were killed and hundreds others injured, marking the worst mass shooting in modern American history.
Authorities said the accused gunman, Stephen Craig Paddock, was solely responsible. They found thousands of rounds of ammunition and nearly two dozen weapons in his hotel room, mostly military-style rifles, including at least one that was modified with a bump stock to enable it to fire off rounds more rapidly.
I don't understand the logic here. Church believes that we can't predict the future therefore school shootings are going to happen yet we should be able to predict the future and prevent mass shootings such as what occured in Las Vegas? He advocates closing the gun show loophole but as the two investigative articles below indicate, Paddock as well as the majority of the individuals responsible for the mass shootings of the last decade, obtained their weapons legally - no gun show loophole. This means we're going to have to come up with something more concrete. You can't expect to solve a complex problem with a simple one-size-fits-all solution."There are some things we can’t stop," Church told Rolling Stone, "like the disgruntled kid who takes his dad’s shotgun and walks into a high school. But we could have stopped the guy in Vegas."
