Conservative bloggers fail to stop Las Vegas gunman

Once again, conservative bloggers failed to stop a madman with a gun. This time it was in a Las Vegas casino:
When a gunman's first shots rang out above the bleeps and blings inside the New York-New York casino, tourists formed a human stampede, jumping over slot machines and knocking over chairs to escape.

Some didn't know if they would: "All I was thinking was that I could die right now," said Jade Jacobson of Deland, Fla.

Outside the casino, flip-flops lay scattered "like people were running out of their shoes," said tourist Larry Ramos of Lansing, Mich.

From a balcony, the gunman fired 16 shots at the casino floor, aiming randomly at families and gamblers as they fled. The gunfire didn't stop until he was tackled by off-duty military reservists, his semiautomatic handgun emptied.
No Insta-putz or Federalist Society member stopped this brutal assault, so I guess they just didn't have the guts to do anything.

Either that or their primitive ideas about how real life works are stupid. You make the call. Thank goodness for the military reservists.
