It’s been a week since the tragedy in Las Vegas. It’s taken some of us (like yours truly) a whole week to process it all. The arguments flew and continue to fly and the conspiracy theories continue to be crafted. All the while, people are still hurting.

It’s hard not to politicize a tragedy of this magnitude. Inevitably, the focus is taken off of an unstable human being who was the mastermind and focus is placed in the hands of innocent, well-meaning Americans who own guns which is why hearing this from California Senator, Dianne Feinstein speak on Face The Nation yesterday morning made me do a double-take:

“See, I don’t know what to make of it. What this event said – this is a well-to-do man, he wasn’t mentally ill. Um, he wasn’t a criminal, he wasn’t a juvenile, he wasn’t gang banger, and he was able to buy 40 weapons over a period of time, have 12 bump stocks, line them up, break through two windows in his hotel suite, and take aim at tens of thousands — well I guess over a thousand people at a concert. And this was such a cross section of America that it really struck at every one of us, that this could happen to you. And we want to stop it.”

So now, Ms. “Mr. and Mrs. America, Turn them all In” basically said that no gun laws would have stopped that sick, twisted waste of human flesh, Steven Paddock from a shooting spree. But, by all means, Senator Feinstein, let’s push your agenda:

I wonder why Dianne Feinstein spoke the truth. That's not like her.
