I think it is more than 59 now. It is the same kind of shock we experienced after 9/11: it just does not make sense. Your poem captures that sense of shock and horror exactly.

If it is true that Paddock targeted a Country music festival because he thought Country and Western fans were likely to be Republicans and Trump supporters, that just goes to show how dangerous the Anti-Trump “Resistance” has become. Time to unite as a Nation and let go of the hatred and disunity.

What can we do now to stop this happening again? Americans should perhaps forget about Gun Control with all the constitutional bars to progress there, and instead make “Bump Stocks” illegal. I think even the NRA might support that.

Yes, ’n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
