Pray for the Las Vegas Victims

[sweetwater]

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA


A PROCLAMATION

Our Nation is heartbroken. We mourn with all whose loved ones were murdered and injured in last night's horrible tragedy in Las Vegas, Nevada. As we grieve, we pray that God may provide comfort and relief to all those suffering.

As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless act of violence perpetrated on October 1, 2017, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, October 6, 2017. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.

DONALD J. TRUMP

This isn't the final chapter.While we sit and read and watch the tradegy, another mentaly unstable person is in the first steps of planning another even greater miscarrage of justice. there is no solution.

Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the country, if you don't believe me check the federal facts sheets.But indiana and wisconson gun merchants still sell the weapons to people who resell them there. These dealers are acting according to the law. THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND.Yes they in some cases do back ground checks, and the buyers are legal. But when you plan to do search and seizure, with just minimum court orders, you are also breaking several constitutional laws. As I have stated before every american citizen has the right to own firearms. Wisconson even had a vision impared hunting season.Nothing will stop mentally ill people from killing themselves and others. Take away the guns, they will use knives, or cars, or bombs, or chemicals or arson.I bought my first shot gun in chicago when I turned 16, I worked after school in a hardware store where the owner was an avid outdoors men.I bought several hunting hunting weapons in indiana when I lived there and also bought several pistols from gander mtn in Kentucky, I passed all FBI requirements. So if I could own weapons why should I be against any other legal resident to purchase one? I learned very early on, if you need more than two shots while hunting, your doing something wrong.Why a 30 round magazine to shoot one deer? But if a banana clip makes you secure, get a bayonet. Or better yet if you absolutely need venison, get a good pick up truck a strong grill guard, and take long drives on country roads.

Lost my train of thought, but over three MILLION chicagoins gathered togethe to celebrate the cubs world series victory. how many were shot????

Sad day for sure, my son was there a week ago, talk about thinking about it, on a very sour note, a CBS exect had the nerve to hope they were all Trump supporters, glad she got canned, shows me what kind of scum are in the media.

[kygorski]

When we started to rely on talking heads relaying the news to their views, we GOT more than we paid for.So now we have a choice, believe nothing or half or swallow the load shovel of manure.Newspaper help found this country, their demise will hearald the end of it also.When one or two individuals own the media, we hear what they want us to hear.

[kygorski]

Pravda is truth in russian and other slovikian languages. But izvestia says there is no truth in pravda.

[kygorski]

And the truth shall set you free.All our presidents, congressman, and many elected officials place their hand on the bible, and say they will follow the teachings of christ and the constitution. Later that day, when they wash that pledge off they proceed to lie like hell.

[LiamClaymore]

Such travesty! Our hearts and prayers go out to those affected by this violent act.
