Senator Harry Reid never lets a tragedy go to waste, jumping on the anti-gun bandwagon (he really never fell off) and promoting a solution that may or may not even address this particular scenario:
"According to the senator, future incidents such as the Las Vegas attack could be mitigated by a move to require all firearms transfers, even those between two otherwise law-abiding citizens, be subject to a background check. At least one of the suspected murderers from this weekend’s violence is known to have a criminal record, although it is currently not known how he obtained the weapons used in the ambush."
Might it be prudent to wait for the facts about this specific tragedy before proposing knee-jerk solutions? Perhaps we should find out what the criminal and psychological background of the shooter, or how the firearms were acquired? These questions and more should be answered before offering solutions that effectively negate specific risks, rather than setting policy that negatively impacts law-abiding gun owners.
