Pat Robertson, the famed televangelist from the long-running 700 Club show, claimed on Monday in the aftermath of the Las Vegas attack that the deadliest mass shooting in American history was caused by people disrespecting the president and the flag.

As pointed out by Hemant Mehta at Patheos’ “The Friendly Atheist” column, Robertson said “violence in the streets” could be explained by a lack of “controlling” and “biblical” authority in the United States.

“Why is it happening?” Robertson asked his audience.

“The fact that we have disrespect for authority; there is profound disrespect for our president, all across this nation they say terrible things about him. It’s in the news, it’s in other places.

There is disrespect now for our national anthem, disrespect for our veterans, disrespect for the institutions of our government, disrespect for the court system. All the way up and down the line, disrespect.”

“Until there is biblical authority,” Robertson continued, “there has to be some controlling authority in our society and there is none.

And when there is no vision of God, the people run amok … and we have taken from the American people the vision of God, the whole idea of reward and punishment, an ultimate judge of all our actions, we’ve taken that away.

When there is no vision of God, the people run amok.”

Republicans Were So Busy Trying To Repeal Obamacare, They Ran Out the Clock On The Health Insurance Of 9 Million Kids

Believe it or not, there was another atrocity in our politics over the weekend.
This atrocity can kill at a respectable remove from the perpetrators.
From the LA Times:
Christamighty, these gossoons spent so much time trying to strip health care from 32 million Americans that they ran out the clock on health care for nine million kids.

This is terrible if it represents simple legislative incompetence, but it’s even worse if—as I suspect—it was deliberate.
Lovely.

Don’t worry, though.
The House of Representatives is on the case.
In a tweet earlier Monday morning, Maggie Haberman of The New York Times pointed us to this statement from a “House GOP aide” that claims that the funding won’t run out until December.

Country musician flips on gun control after surviving Las Vegas shooting: 'I cannot express how wrong I was'

Caleb Keeter, a guitarist with the Josh Abbott Band that performed at the Las Vegas country music festival targeted in a mass shooting on Sunday night, said Monday that he has changed his position on gun control following the attack that left 59 people dead and at least 527 others injured.

"I've been a proponent of the 2nd Amendment my entire life. Until the events of last night.

I cannot express how wrong I was," he tweeted on Monday.

"We actually have members of our crew with CHL [concealed handgun licenses], and legal firearms on the bus.
They were useless."

Keeter said his fellow band members didn't dare take out their weapons in self-defense as bullets rained down on the crowd "for fear police might think we were part of the massacre and shoot us."

"A small group (or one man) laid waste to a city with dedicated, fearless police officers desperately trying to help, because of access to an insane amount of fire power," Keeter wrote.

"Enough is enough."

Former President Barack Obama has used the same wording in regards to gun violence, saying "enough is enough" after a shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado in 2015.

"If we truly care about this — if we're going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience — then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them," Obama said then.

"Period. Enough is enough."

Keeter added on Monday: "Writing my parents and the love of my life a goodbye last night and a living will because I felt like I wasn’t going to live through the night was enough for me to realize that this is completely and totally out of hand.

These rounds were just powerful enough that my crew guys just standing in close proximity of a victim shot by this f---ing coward received shrapnel wounds."

Keeter concluded: "We need gun control RIGHT. NOW.

My biggest regret is that I stubbornly didn't realize it until my brothers on the road and myself were threatened by it.

We are unbelievably fortunate to not be among the number of victims killed or seriously wounded by this maniac."

In response to comments from Twitter users who lamented the fact that Keeter and others changed their views only after being personally affected, Keeter said the criticism was justified and that he would "like to do what I can now."



In another tweet on Monday afternoon, the musician struck a more optimistic note.

"That being said," he wrote, "I'll not live in fear of anyone. We will regroup, we'll come back, and we'll rock your f------ faces off. Bet on it."

Silencers, Armor-Piercing Bullets: Congress Looks to Roll Back Gun Laws

WASHINGTON — The day House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., was shot in June during a congressional baseball practice, his colleagues were supposed to hold a hearing on a bill to make it easier for Americans to buy gun silencers.

That hearing was postponed because of the shooting, and now Congress may push that legislation back yet again after another shooting.

This time, it's the attack in Las Vegas, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, which critics say would have been even worse if the gunman had been equipped with a silencer.

Meanwhile, Congress may soon take up another bill that has long topped the wish-list of pro-gun groups, including the National Rifle Association (NRA), which would force states to recognize other states' permits allowing residents to carry concealed weapons.

The Republican-controlled House has yet to schedule a vote on the Sportsmen Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act, a wide-ranging bill that includes the silencer provision, but opponents had feared it could come up for a vote as soon as this week.

The House Natural Resources Committee approved the bill this month and took several steps to fast-track the legislation, including requesting a rushed analysis from the Congressional Budget Office and asking other committees to waive their jurisdiction, Democrats on the committee say.

No vote was scheduled, however, and it's now up to House GOP leaders to determine whether and when the chamber will take up the bill.

The NRA and other supporters say rolling back 80-year-old restrictions on silencers would be an "important safety-oriented aspect of the bill that will help protect the hearing of America's hunters."

But critics charge that silencers, which mask the sound and flash of a gunshot, would cost lives by making it harder for law enforcement and shooting victims to tell where shots are coming from in active shooting situations.

"Imagine how much worse last night's shooting could have been if the gunman had a silencer," said Mark Kelly, the former astronaut who runs the pro-gun control group Americans for Responsible Solutions with his wife, former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords.

Republicans have tried to pass the SHARE Act several times before, but the NRA calls the current version "the most ambitious and consequential yet."

The bill would, among other things, loosen regulations on the sale of armor-piercing bullets, expand gun rights on public lands and shield people transporting guns across state lines from local laws.

It would force courts to reimburse plaintiffs' legal fees if they are improperly detained.

"The SHARE Act would open up our law enforcement officers to personal legal liability for doing their jobs when they inquire about interstate firearm transportation during routine stops.

This is absolutely ridiculous," said Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., a former co-chairman of the Congressional Sportsman's Caucus who opposes the bill.

A separate bill on concealed carry reciprocity has yet to be taken up by the House Judiciary Committee, but it already has 212 co-sponsors, putting it easily within reach of the 218 votes necessary for a majority.

Laws that govern carrying concealed weapons vary widely by state, with some requiring applicants to prove that they need a weapon and have taken a training course, while others have virtually no restrictions at all.

Proponents say the current patchwork is too confusing and want concealed carry permits to work like drivers licenses, with every state recognizing every other's.

"This confusion often leads to law-abiding gun owners running afoul of the law when they exercise their right to self-protection while traveling or temporarily living away from home," said Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA's legislative arm.

But critics say forced reciprocity would undermine states and cities that have chosen to enact stricter laws by creating a giant loophole that would allow residents to obtain permits in neighboring states with weak laws and use them in their home states with strict laws.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors, the official nonpartisan organization of cities, recently passed a resolution calling forced reciprocity "dangerous" and "completely antithetical to all of the efforts to reduce and prevent gun violence."

Don't bother to answer that.
It's rhetorical.
It's because you are a partisan hack.

Your Circus Peanut Messiah hangs out with convicted murderers like Don King, convicted rapists like Mike Tyson, convicted pedophiles like Jeffrey Epstein, and other convicted felons like Felix Sater, and you have no issue with that.
