It's truly unfortunate what happened in Las Vegas, but yet again, it illustrates that criminals don't obey laws--that's what makes them criminals. Chicago has among the strictest gun control laws in the country, but they are flaunted by criminals daily. None of the grandstanding from Democrats changes the fact that the gun control laws they propose would not have stopped the massacre in Las Vegas or what happens on a daily basis in Chicago. More troubling is how much Democrats seek to exploit a tragedy for political gain before the bodies have even been buried and how quickly the Star-Advertiser wishes to sell out the Bill of Rights and turn us into a totalitarian state with citizens as slaves to an all-powerful government. Big government can't control illegal drugs, do you think they can control illegal guns?  What I'd like to see is a Star-Advertiser editorial on what happened in the Catalan Referendum and how the Spanish government violently turned on their own defenseless citizens.
