Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said on Monday after the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas that he is “furious” at Congress for refusing to act on gun control.
Blumenthal, whose state of Connecticut was the location of the deadly mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012, said he is “more than frustrated” over Congress’s inaction on gun violence.
“Although many details of this mass shooting remain unclear, one thing is certain: yet again, we are watching in horror as another American community is torn apart by the terrible devastation wrought by a gunman,” Blumenthal said in a statement.
“It has been barely a year since what was previously the largest mass shooting in American history — the deadly attack at Pulse nightclub. In the interim, thousands more have been lost to the daily, ruthless toll of gun violence.”

**** Blush!tthal!
So we should take away anyone’s ability to defend themselves to feel good that we tried. Look at Chicago with the strictest gun control of any city and their amazing murder rate. Then do we also outlaw cars since they have been used and what about knives since that is England’s preferred method now. Unfortunately when you encourage a degenerate society without a moral code or compass this is what you get. Remember “Tyrants love unarmed peasants”
I’d LOVE TO KNOW how this idiot would answer HOW more gun control, would have prevented this evil killer from obtaining his 10 guns, WHEN EVERY REPORT SO far, has stated that not ONE RED FLAG was raised on his backround checks for the LEGAL purchases of those guns. The evil sadistic scumbag had NOT ONE run in with the law.. SO WAS NOT ON ANYONE’s radar?? SO what sort of gun control would have stopped him doing what he did?
The type of gun control that the D.C. Libtards, headed by Dianne Feinstein, truly want is confiscation, as done in Australia. Starting with the Modern Sporting Rifle (read vicious AR-15 “assault rifles”), extending to ALL semi-autos, long and short. The goal is the same as the UN’s ITAR treaty, elimination of private ownership of all firearms. Maybe you would be allowed one black powder ‘fowling piece’ and a single shot cap & ball pistol after you registered them and kept them locked in a safe at an approved club. Not kidding, check out Feinstein’s public proclamations touting confiscation. These people use the Constitution & Bill of Rights as toilet paper.
The worst mass murder in the country’s history, aka Chicago’s average weekend toll.
While the death toll certainly doesn’t come close to some of the total weekend death tolls we have heard from Chicago, its the sheer fact it was all done in such a short time AND had all those injuries imo that DOES class this as the worst shooting…
And as to Feinstein and wanting to confisciate every gun.. HOW?? She and her libtard buddies KEEP SAYING, that we don’t have the manpower, the resources OR THE LEGAL right to go around and round up all the illegal aliens in the country, and that’s just using the consistently panned around, 11 million figure.
SO WITH conservative estimates putting the # of gun owners at 170 million, with 400 million guns owned, HOW the hell does she feel that “we will get the man power, resources and legal right to go confiscate’ everyones guns??
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn. Is best Friends with the Hildabeast that’s Y the Hard Act.
I “am more than frustrated” that the voters of Connecticut elected Richard Blumenthal. He and his girlfriend Hillary Clinton couldn’t wait to jump on the corpses of those who passed and others hanging on by a thin thread and others seriously wounded – with their political comments. I guess evil begets evil……
Let’s take a look at Senator Blumenthal:
Blumenthal received at least five draft deferments during the Vietnam War before enlisting. He served in United States Marine Corps Reserve units in Washington, D.C., and Connecticut from 1970 to 1976. He attained the rank of sergeant and received an honorable discharge at the end of his enlistment. There was controversy in 2010, when The New York Times reported that Blumenthal misspoke on at least one occasion by saying he’d served in Vietnam. Video emerged of him speaking to a group of veterans and supporters in March 2008 in Norwalk, Connecticut, saying, in reference to supporting troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, “We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam.” There were also other occasions when his description of his military service seemed to insinuate that he’d been to Vietnam. At a 2008 ceremony in Shelton, Connecticut, he said, “I served during the Vietnam era… I remember the taunts, the insults, sometimes even physical abuse
Not just your usual sewer dwelling Demorat, this one practices Stolen Valor without missing a beat. What a total waste of a sack of skin.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) is a typical democrat. This includes lying, stealing honor, and a very strong desire to ignore the U.S. Constitution and the second amendment.
That’s probably the most accurate way to describe this jackass. The libs have only one goal when it comes to guns, outlaw them all and make sure private ownership is banned. They really are going to be the cause of the second American revolution.
BUT you can bet not one of them will give up their armed guards.
i am furious that the democrats forced healthcare down my throat or up my wazzzzooo,
which ever you choose.
i am furious with congress for not cutting my taxes and gutting welfare.
i am furious with congress over lack of immigration enforcement.
I’m furious that the liar Blumenthal is a US Senator!
I agree with all that has been replied to Sen Blumenthal but have you stopped to wonder, “Is the Government or the democratic party behind these shootings?” All so that they can take our rights away after they disarm us.
I hope that this is really some nut job. But to jump on the law to F’ every law abiding citizen is a real stretch unless you believe what I have already stated.
can we all say “DeepState” ???
it sure looks this way to me!!!
O.K. listen up. It doesn’t matter how many laws are on the books or you could take away all of the guns, criminals will always have weapons. Look at Chicago, Cook county; Australia; and even England. They have no guns and or severe gun laws and crime is rampant.
Every America hating, communist, democrat and RINO will be boiling out of the manure pile like disturbed ants now demanding that we piss away our Second Amendment rights. They can kiss my ***!
And unless they can wave a magic wand, that causes ALL GUNS IN THE WORLD to disappear, it STILL WON’T stop criminals getting their hands on guns when ever they want to..
I live in CT and unfortunately Senators Blumenthal and Murphy are our senators in DC. These two are lying *******, hypocrites and opportunists. Blumenthal served in the USMC reserve so he knows that he is lying about firearms calling AR-15s “assault rifles” and such. Murphy is just an idiot! I can’t believe how stupid the majority of CT citizens are to have voted these two into the Senate.
I’m leaving CT and moving to a free state.
Blumenthal just doesn’t get it. Anyone who really wants a weapon, will get a weapon whether legal or illegal. But then he does not appear to be the brightest kid on the block.
And so far, every report i have seen/heard, said this killer, GOT THE GUNS LEGALLY.. then modified them for Full auto.. SO WHAT gun control does this imbecile think would have stopped him?!?!??!?!?!?
And, if they can’t get the weapons, they will use a truck, or a car, or a knife, or a tire iron, or whatever they can get their hands on. The only viable solution is to ban hands. That works until someone decides to kick someone.
And as we have seen in Europe where guns HAVE BEEN banned, it still doesn’t stop the crooks and terrorists getting THEIR hands on guns..
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) you are a lying scumbag. Anyone who lies about military service has NO credibility. You are a disgrace to yourself and to the democrats whose party you are in. What you did was not a mistake or a misspeak it was on purpose to make yourself sound important. The only important you are is an important lying disgrace.
Oh great fake warrior, stop the whining and enlighten us on just how you would go about confiscating over 300 millions guns from their lawful owners in clear violation of their second amendment right? Gun Control is a liberal dog whistle for Gun Confiscation, it’s never gonna happen in America!
Librabob: I hope you are right, but I would not be surprised if the cowardly elites and pols as well don’t work hard to take away ALL weapons from the People. Heck, can you imagine if a kid used a rubber ban to “shoot” a friend of his or sling shot? He’d be in BIG trouble. But if he were a Muslim or a gang banger, they’d probably not do a thing. If the people in the concert had had a weapon on their belt, I am pretty sure there would have been a very small number killed or hurt.
Goldminer, I would normally agree with you on the casualty count, but due to the gunman having an elevated position, it would be unlikely anyone would have been able to or even tried to shoot back for fear they hit an innocent.
As for the 2nd amendment, our Found Fathers were wise WELL beyond their years! There is a reason they made this the SECOND, only after free speech, religion and the press. Having been through the tyranny of England, they wanted to enshrine it in our constitution so “history” didn’t repeat itself!
Add to that that he was over 300 feet away, UNLESS those people in the audience had long arms, they wouldn’t have stood a single chance of hitting him..
BUT WHAT I CAN’T understand is HOW on earth, a single guy going into a hotel for supposedly 4 days, could NOT HAVE RAISED one bit of suspicion taking 3+ bags up, since he would have needed that much for all the guns AND AMMO he took…
Along with how not ONE of the workers, who came in and out of his room, ‘noticed anything out of the ordinary’. NOR HOW not one person on his floor (or the room above/below) heard anything when he was breaking the glass with the hammer the police, keep saying he used to open the windows up to shoot out of…
from reading about six web-accounts of the slayings, I’d say anyone down at ground-level would’ve been hard pressed to fire back at someone hidden above them… maybe if they had RPG? idk…
>> If the people in the concert had had a weapon on their belt, I am pretty sure there would have been a very small number killed or hurt. <<
One would have to be one hell of a marksman to have shot him, given his elevation and the small target he would have presented; not as if he were standing on the window in plain sight. Nice thought, but highly unlikely.
@Ltuser: In a large hotel, such as this, I think it is easy to avoid detection. There is a tremendous amount of foot traffic with numerous paths to enter and exit.
Also, putting up the “do not disturb” would have been enough to keep any maid from entering the room, even for multiple days. I know I typically do this as I do not want anyone coming into my hotel room.
[Also, putting up the “do not disturb” would have been enough to keep any maid from entering the room,]
BUT he didn’t do that, as we’ve heard SEVERAL maids and other staff came in and out of his room, and saw nothing out of the ordinary..
See Ann Coulter, “There’s a Reason They Call Him ‘Dick’,” Human Events, 10/13/2010. In the meantime, Molon Labe mofo!
Those who want to commit crime will find a weapon somehow. Just look at Chicago even with their strick gun laws, gun murders are out of control.

regardless of the facts, which are he had fully automatic weapons.
the left will twist this for their agenda, while it is possible to own fully automatic weapons legally. it requires a special permit. because there are no full auto weapons made for sale in the USA, you can only purchase old ones. which usually run 15 – 25k$. which means the weapons used were acquired illegally. either shipped in, in false containers or bought from a gun runner. if he had 8 full auto weapons purchased, that would have still have cost him roughly 50k if there were 200 loaded mags. how did he get all this in the room. there is much more to this story and taking our guns away will not be the answer to the problem.
As I’m sure you know, most semi-auto, magazine fed weapons can be convert to full auto, but will not be select fire.
He modified semi autos to full auto.
A simple task.
In which case, whom ever SOLD HIM the kits to do those conversions is an accomplice to these 59 murders and 514 attempted murders.. Catch him (or them) and FRY THEM!
I was recently a delegate at the Vietnam Veterans of America Nat’l Convention in New Orleans. I was FURIOUS and ashamed that Blumenthal was invited to address us. When many in attendance rose and applauded when he was introduced, I remained in my seat, silent.
Never forget: Liberals are not after gun “control”, they are after gun confiscation and disarming American citizens.
Everyone is sick about what has happened in Las Vegas. Everyone is horrified. But as always, the first thing the liberals do…the FIRST thing they ALWAYS do, is demand that your rights be infringed so they can feel better about themselves.
I guarantee you if Blumental is protected by anyone who is armed, he will not want them to be dissarmed. He only wants *you* to be disarmed. Gun control? No…Blumenthal is a LIAR!
Yup. liberals don’t care about guns, they CARE ABOUT CONTROLLING..
Whatever …nobody cares what you think.
Liberals insist that we can’t go door-to-door to deport illegal aliens, but they would gladly go door-to-door to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens.
I’ve had one “over three hour long argument” with a liberal on just that.. How they think they can go door to door to round up the roughly 400 million guns in the hands of ALL Law abiding US citizens, but can’t ever go door to door, to find and round up the 40 million iillegal aliens in the country…
This jerk ought to take his head out of where it’s dark and smelly. He doesn’t have the faintest idea of that which he professes to be expert. Another political clown looking for face time.
Typical reaction from a pompous out-of-touch Left-wing Democrat.
Yeah, let’s just ignore our Constitution and ban guns so that we’re all at the mercy of criminals and jerks like Blumenthal.
One whack job decides to kill for sport and several hundred million others should lose a constitutional right to self-defense and protection of our Constitutional Republic from the likes of jerks like Blumenthal? Only a self-centered moron would believe that.
It didn’t take long for the jerks to jump on the crimes of a lunatic and turn it to their nefarious political purposes.
Wake up, America! No more excuses for being unregistered and not voting. The Left is out to take down the Republic.
Democrat and RINO “Republicans”, news media (save for One America News and some of FOXNews/FOX Business News), education (particularly public education)… all in collusion to destroy our Republic.
It’s time we take action to get these people out of office, off the air, and out of our educational institutions.
I’m sure there are many openings in Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea for these Leftist morons (the “hate America first crowd”) who haven’t the common sense to recognize the lunacy of their politics.

Well if we used HIS OWN Libtard illogic against him. CAUSE ONE libtard teacher (well its actually 4 iirc) called for trump to be assassinated, LETS remove ALL libtard teachers Constitutional right to free speech..
Cause a # of libtard schools allow riots to go on, against conservative speakers, lets shutdown all libtard colleges..
Whenever we have a tragedy, the Democrats ALWAYS come out with the “Gun Control” argument ! This EVIL tragedy had NOTHING to do with Gun control. While Law enforcement is figuring out WHY this man committed this horrendous act, I would like them to check out his Indonesian girlfriend. He checked in on the 28th of September, and she immediately flew BACK to Indonesia. My personal opinion, is that SHE has a lot to do with this tragedy. She possibly provided him with both a motive, and the weapons. ISIS SAID that they were taking “Credit” for this , and this could be the “Smoking Gun” !
agents and law enforcement have dismissed the gf as a person-of-interest
she had been with him in the past but not at present, he had used her credit in recent days – perhaps thats how you MightThink she was involved
I am furious at a worthless do nothing congress that constantly tries to pass unconstitutional gun control laws. They waste money, time, and consistently ignore their constituents while pursuing a globalist agenda that is nothing short of treasonous.
Seemingly over-looked is Sen. Blumenthal’s prior gun-control stupidity in 2015. In 2015, Dylann Roof shoots-up a church in Charleston, NC. The federal background check failed to identify Roof’s prior drug possession charges–which would have disqualified him from legally purchasing a gun.
Sen. Blumenthal’s contribution was to declare that the failure of federal background check system was a result of Congress having not passed enough laws.
Nobody in the media has ever asked the good Senator…exactly what law he wants passed that will assure intentional and premeditated violence (be it with a gun, a knife, a bomb, or a truck) will go away as the result of another law–because killing people is already against the law, and the draconian gun-laws of Chicago have only served to leave the public defenseless against criminals.
i’m furious at blumenthal and the limited liberals of ct who elected him. what a waste of air and space–constantly posturing for cameras, droning on as if being a united states senator was merely a bigger platform to play state attorney general, trolling around in a perpetual state of cluelessness (one of the greatest political fails of all time? when dickie was asked how jobs are created. and they STILL elected him). . .yet another proof of the necessity of term limits. he can take his trouty-mouthed pal murphy with him. their big issue today is that newtown has been pushed nearer to obscurity. . .along with any shred of relevance for them. . .
The best gun control, would old be to get rid of DRMOCRATS AND RINOS !!!
I don’t remember any push for gun control when Scalise was shot by a lib!
There was iirc a few calls. BUT al were immediately shutdown after less than half a day..
