Because that’s what it is. A terrorist attack by an American, privileged terrorist.
With that said, the world is still reeling from the recent events in Las Vegas that left Country music festivalgoers (including artist Jason Aldean, who was on stage at the time) running for their lives. In the aftermath, Stephen Paddock left about 60 dead and more than 500 people injured before reportedly killing himself.
Below, you can see reactions from many in the Hip-Hop realm, ranging from messages of love to angry blasts at various powers that be (including the NRA).
Me neither. there is ZERO need for US civilians to privately own fully automatic weapons. And this is from an avid gun enthusiast https://t.co/9CrmM55dNh

The inconsistency of gun laws across the country is the problem. The US needs 1 set of gun laws for all. Still Doesn't adress illegal sales https://t.co/cmUR0JZxWF
