Leftist Journalist*: ‘Massacre of Country Music Fans is a Blood Sacrifice To The Constitution’
“Paddock came well-prepared to exercise his Second Amendment freedoms on a penned-in crowd”

Leftists wasted little time in politicizing the mass shooting in Las Vegas Monday, immediately clamoring for officials to label it terrorism, and calling for increased gun controls, despite the only known fact about the shooter is that he used weapons that are already illegal.
Perhaps the most brazenly insensitive comments came from Esquire columnist Charles Pierce, who immediately penned a column headed “If Newtown Wasn’t Enough, Why Would Las Vegas Be Enough? Our leaders are afraid to tolerate limits on Second Amendment “freedoms.”
“The Constitution is not a pact with the devil, nor is it a suicide pact. It is a formalized, legalistic ritual of blood sacrifice… The massacre of country music fans is…. the 273rd blood sacrifice to that one provision of the Constitution this year.” Pierce frothed.
“This makes Paddock’s unfortunate exercise of his Second Amendment freedoms the deadliest mass shooting in history.
This makes Paddock’s unfortunate exercise of his Second Amendment freedoms the 273rd mass shooting in the United States this year….Paddock came well-prepared to exercise his Second Amendment freedoms on a penned-in crowd of Jason Aldean fans. And he did.” the writer added.
Yes, freedom and the Constitution are to blame for this, first and foremost. Really.
Secondly, being a Christian is also to blame, according to Pierce:
“Christians believe that the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary obviated forever the need for further blood sacrifice.
However, not even that could obviate or eliminate the entirely secular desire for blood sacrifice within a society perceived to have gone astray. Christians pray to the crucified Christ. Christians also push the plungers that send the poisons into the veins of prisoners. Christians believe that atonement comes through the intercession of Jesus. Christians also believe that atonement comes from smart bombs and predator drones.”
Being a Christian didn’t seem to help any of the scores of music fans killed by the shooter. It is simply not known whether the shooter held any religious beliefs at this stage, but hey, what the hell, Christians + freedom = guns and death.
Also to blame is Donald Trump, and the NRA, according to Pierce:
“The president* and Wayne LaPierre together created an America of the mind in which blood sacrifice is the highest form of patriotism.” he wrote.
