"As for Nevada, the laws - - including those concerning fire arms - - reflect the will of those who live there who, despite your thinly disguised contempt, will continue to prosper as a free people." 

There you go grossly misinterpreting the Second Amendment. Can you say with a straight face that our forefathers who drafted this amendment meant that future generations could hide behind this law to make weapons capable of maiming and killing several hundred innocent civilians in just a few minutes time, legal? And secondly, the pro-gun arguments are an epic fail in this case as no number of gun-wielding citizens could have prevented this massacre. 

While I can't and won't speak for all the residents of Nevada, for many of us Hawaii residents, Las Vegas is a home away from home--thus this issue should also concern those of who visit there on a frequent basis.
