Vice President Vows Solidarity with the Usually Festive City After Mass Shooting That Left 58 Dead THE NATION; Pence visits a prayerful Las Vegas; Vice president vows solidarity with the usually festive city after mass shooting that left 58 dead. Lee, Kurtis; Montero, David . Los Angeles Times ; Los Angeles, Calif. [Los Angeles, Calif]08 Oct 2017: A.6. ProQuest document link FULL TEXT The day was meant for prayer, reflection, and most of all, slowly continuing to heal. On Saturday, Vice President Mike Pence visited Las Vegas, offering prayers and encouragement for a community reeling days after a gunman went on a killing rampage at an outdoor country music festival along the Strip. Pence, flanked by several local elected officials, including Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman, spoke from a lectern inside City Hall, where he emphasized that the country stands united with the Las Vegas community. "No evil -- no act of violence -- will ever diminish the strength and goodness of the American people," said Pence, whose visit came days after President Trump arrived here to meet with victims and first responders. "We are united as one nation, as one people, with one voice -- united in our grief, united in our support for those who have suffered, and united in our resolve to end such evil in our time." He added, "When one part of America cries out for help we always come together to answer the call.... Today we are all Vegas strong." The vice president's remarks came at the conclusion of a unity prayer walk among local elected officials and residents in memory of the 58 people killed and nearly 500 injured on Oct. 1 at the Route 91 Harvest festival. The gunman, Stephen Paddock, 64, fired hundreds of rounds at the crowd from his 32nd-floor Mandalay Bay hotel room. Amid the prayers, tears and strides toward healing, local and federal law enforcement officials pressed ahead Saturday with their investigation. Authorities continued to look for a motive as to why Paddock, known as a professional gambler who frequented casinos here and in Mesquite, Nev., about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, carried out one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. Billboards have been placed around the city asking residents to contact authorities if they have any information about the shooting. At the site of the shooting -- a parcel of land along Las Vegas Boulevard -- federal authorities began to haul away piles of backpacks, purses and lawn chairs that were left behind as thousands of concertgoers fled the area amid a torrent of gunfire. For many, Saturday was a day to reflect, move ahead and celebrate Las Vegas, a global hub for tourism which last year saw a record 43 million visitors. A short drive from the site of the shooting, 58 white crosses bearing the names of those killed were placed near the renowned "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign. Locals and tourists alike laid flowers and teddy bears in honor of the victims, 36 women and 22 men. Goodman, who has served as mayor since 2011, said her city would not be "defined by hate and violence." "We will not be defined by anger and we will not be defined by fear," she added. "We will be defined by our humanity. We will be defined by our unity, our compassion for each other." Others who joined Pence and Goodman at City Hall included Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) and Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat, and Dean Heller, a Republican. PDF GENERATED BY SEARCH.PROQUEST.COM Page 1 of 23 Last week, Titus, whose district spans the Strip, announced legislation that would ban possession of "bump stocks," a device that makes semiautomatic firearms behave like a fully automatic ones. Authorities have said Paddock used the devices during the shooting. In recent days, Democrats and Republicans alike have signaled support for banning bump stocks, and even the National Rifle Assn. has said more regulation is needed for the devices. Titus said Saturday that more action must take place on the part of elected officials to prevent future mass shootings like the one in her district. "Over the past week our eyes have brimmed with tears, but our chests have also swelled with pride," she said. "Let us pray for those who are in power that they will have the wisdom, power and resolve to come together -- end the gun violence that plagues our nation." -- [email protected] [email protected] Montero reported from Las Vegas and Lee from Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Times ; Los Angeles, Calif. [Los Angeles, Calif]08 Oct 2017: A.1. ProQuest document link FULL TEXT Country music has long idealized the gun-owning lifestyle. From Johnny Cash in "Folsom Prison Blues" to Miranda Lambert's "Gunpowder and Lead" and Blake Shelton's "Granddaddy's Gun," the genre's stars have harnessed gun imagery to bolster their outlaw credibility, connect them with kindred fans and conjure a specific image of Americans -- self-reliant and violent. But after a mass shooter killed himself and at least 58 people at Las Vegas' Route 91 Harvest country music festival, voices questioning loose gun laws have emerged from within the country music community, even at the risk of alienating fans. "I've been a proponent of the 2nd amendment my entire life. Until the events of last night," Caleb Keeter, guitarist for the Josh Abbott Band, wrote on social media after the Oct. 1 shooting. "I cannot express how wrong I was." He had been on Route 91's main stage just hours before the killing began. Rising country singer Margo Price, in an interview Tuesday, said she is a longtime gun owner -- she used to live in a tent in Colorado and kept a shotgun to protect herself. Still, she said the shooting may finally lead country artists to speak out. "No one I hang out with thinks that a random person on the street should be able to buy a machine gun," said Price, PDF GENERATED BY SEARCH.PROQUEST.COM Page 3 of 23 whose sister is a performer on the Las Vegas Strip. Country artists, she added, need to use their credibility with rural and right-leaning voters to advocate for stricter gun control. "Politicians offer 'prayers and thoughts' but then take money from the NRA. People have had all these opportunities to speak out, and instead say vague things like, 'This is a song against hate' but not talk about reforming gun laws. They've got to get their heads out of the sand," Price said. Such divergence from the pack can have consequences, as Texas trio the Dixie Chicks learned when singer Natalie Maines told a crowd during the Bush administration in 2003 that she was "ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." Within days, much of commercial country radio had stopped playing the platinum group's hit songs. Maines wasn't silenced. After a 2015 theater shooting in Louisiana, she posted on Twitter, "The NRA has such a hold on our politicians, we'll probably be issued guns at movie theaters before they'll up gun control." Singer Jason Aldean, who was onstage as bullets flew, struck a balanced tone on Instagram. "Something has changed in this country and in this world lately that is scary to see," he wrote on Tuesday. "This world is becoming the kind of place I am afraid to raise my children in. At the end of the day we aren't Democrats or Republicans, Whites or Blacks, Men or Women. We are all humans and we are all Americans and its time to start acting like it and stand together as ONE!" Compared with other genres, country music holds an honored position within the National Rifle Assn. Rock and pop musicians tend to be liberal and pro-gun control. Gunplay is a staple of hip-hop, but those artists haven't been embraced by the NRA. Given the demographics of its fans -- many of them conservative and from rural regions -- country music and guns is a natural fit. Vanessa Shahidi, director of NRA Country, told the Nashville Tennessean in 2015: "If you poll our [NRA] members, they love country music." NRA Country, which was started in 2010, promotes the work of NRA-card-carrying country music artists including Big &Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Florida Georgia Line, Trace Adkins and dozens more. Normally an active presence on Twitter, NRA Country hasn't posted since the shootings. Nor has it responded to repeated requests for comment.
