Religion Of Peace And Tolerance: 50+ Dead, Hundreds Injured?
On Sunday night a crazed shooter slaughtered over 50 people at a Las Vegas country music festival. Another 400 people were injured. ISIS immediately claimed responsiblity.
A gunman opened fire on the crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival next to the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas.
On Monday afternoon a liberal Twitter account posted disgusting comments about the mass killing blaming Republicans.

It is very easy to modify a semi-automatic rifle into a fully automatic rifle:
