Dealing with domestic terrorism

[Ma'ake]

Las Vegas mass shooting - don't know (yet) what motivated the shooter, but "terror" is unquestionably a major byproduct. (Too much to speculate on, which is a pointless exercise, anyway.)

One thing this will clearly do is put a dent into Las Vegas tourism, which is significantly dependent upon people from other nations. The common international viewpoint of the US as essentially "irrational" when it comes to guns, the 2nd Amendment, etc, will be reinforced.

How big - and for how long - that dent exists is another thing.

(Then again, gambling itself is irrational, so a lot of the folks who are prone to want to visit Las Vegas from other nations aren't leading with their pre-frontal cortex, to begin with. Their loved ones might hold them back, however. Seeing the short & long term impact on international tourism to Vegas will be interesting. Plenty of other things go do there, and it's not like people don't go to France or the UK anymore.)

Hopefully the gunman wasn't much more "successful"...
