And sad that one's mind runs to such things when out in public these days....

SLC itself is a pretty culturally eclectic metropolis, the airport more so. Mormons would be a minority there. Weapons exclusion security at US airports is almost absolute, rogue baggage handlers notwithstanding.

Never happen IMO.
I say make 1M in liability insurance a requirement on each hi capacity military style semi auto owned the law of the land. The fees to be used as a fund for the victims. Hi capacity mags banned and confiscated.
Background checks along with licensing of all owners with required gun safety courses, evaluation by authorities. Records of all gun transactions.
All firearms to be registered.
Shed light on the issue.

A twenty ton rolling mill sounds good to me. If you want mil-spec weaponry? Join the Marines.

Fact are facts, as long as politicians are wanting to or needing to be elected by a majority. The wholesale removal of firearms will never happen.
Plus the added over supply already in the country , in the millions. Much like closing the barn door after the horse is loose. It is to late to consider the removal rather the regulation and to control them.

A Reformed White Nationalist Says the Worst Is Yet to Come
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...iolini/595543/
Quote:
I’m as horrified as everyone else is. And frustrated, because this is something I’ve been banging the drum about for 20 years—that the escalation of violence would get worse. The [white-supremacist] ideology is spreading more into the mainstream than it ever has before. There aren’t checks and balances to counter it. There aren’t programs being funded to help people disengage from extremism. Some of the rhetoric coming from the very top is emboldening extremists.

Donny quietly used regulations to expand gun access
The president* said he has taken tough action on guns. His administration has mostly focused on expanding gun access through little-noticed regulatory moves.

The only way this problem will be resolved is when Donny and the Repubes are completely removed from power.

Scary to consider just what it will take, how terrible the incident to be. For the Reps to see then the need for taking action!

Tucker Carlson’s claim that white supremacy is a “hoax” is false — but revealing
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...y-hoax-el-paso
Laughable, yet there are people right here on these forums who defend this filthy pig.

Republicans,
So eliminating the gun show loophole, background checks not good. Just blame it on crazy!
So they might just be painting themselves into a corner on the issue. Instead of doing something positive, they go and throw up the hands and do nothing...
Causing the inevitability of a total ban of the weapons removal the threat. The only real way to stop the mayhem!
All of the hi capacity semi auto weapons gone!
Once the Dems control all three branches it may well happen.
