heard there will be great deals @ Mandalay.

side note. wonder if they will reopen the actual room he was in to let people stay

freaky shit

It isn't really about the state allowing automatic weapons or not. If you know what you are doing, it is relatively easy to mod a semi-automatic weapon into an automatic one.

How did the lock down work? Everyone was sent inside a hotel or to their rooms? Gambling still continued as if nothing had happened?

58 dead, over 500 injured.

Gunman was Stephen Paddock and though ISIS claimed him as a soldier, fbi found no links to terror organization as of yet.

Shooter was found on the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay hotel. Killed himself when police found the room. Had 10 rifles and cctv set up to see if police were coming.

Person of interest Marilou Danley believed to be paddock's roommate and seen together by witness.

heavy restriction of all guns is the way to go

Ban guns altogether.

I agree and that is quite obvious to the rest of the world. Unfortunately, given the 2nd Amendment and the mentality of a very large body of gun owners (and the NRA, of course), I don't see how better / more restrictive gun control legislations can ever hope to pass.

Everything was shut down the tables where closed and covered.

Guy on CNN this morning had a good quote, "As long as we keep advertising this as, 'the greatest, or the worst' mass shooting in us history, we just create a new record mentality for the next psychopath to beat". Totally agree, how you have 10 weapons in your hotel room unnoticed is unbelievable. Can see it already in comments on social media, "if I was to do it, I would have done this..." or "the next mass shorter will learn from this".... agree with westopher tho, the US people should fear themselves more than any terrorist organization

So the NRA and the republicans are pushing a new bill to make it easier to get a silencer. Just imagine if this guy had a silencer.

Look forward to more info coming forward. But so far it sounds like he's not known to police, no ties to anything, it wasn't targeted at a group (racial etc), and his family can't believe it.

No conspiracy, but does anyone ever wonder if maybe there is some conspiracy?

The thought crossed my mind that if someone was so passionate about anti gun laws would they go out of their mind to pull something like this off in hopes that the laws change? It would be pretty wild if that is what someone was willing to do to try and incite change. Highly unlikely but who knows in this crazy world.

It still takes more work though, just like buying an illegal gun vs a legal one. Which isn't something these kinds of people usually do.

Even with a silencer it is still very loud, just not as loud. It's not like the movies

US border guard friend, just told me a guy had to head down to ID a family member. So sad.

I know last time I was in Vegas we rented guns and one of the guys in our group rented one with a suppressor. At 3 to 400 yards where the shooter was it's going to make a difference. I would be hard to hear over the loud P.A. system.

and give free reign to criminals

have they started chanting this again yet

we need more "good guys" with a gun. good guys with assault style weapon that is..
fucking crazy logic.

Well, shit.

Americans love their guys, I get that... but deep down, they must know that as long as people have guns, these things will keep happening.

Do what you want, own what you want but also know what the consequences are. When something like this happens, they shouldn't complain. If they don't want these things to happen then they know what needs to be done. They just won't do it.

I don't even think deep down they feel anything, they love guns and there's no kind of shooting that could take place that will change their view on that. The death count could have been in the thousands. If anything the more shootings that occur will just solidify their stance that they need guns for protection.

LAPD saying there was NO shooting at USC as of 2 min ago.

Yes because guns grow minds of their own and shoot people.

Just because a few people can't handle the responsibility doesn't mean other people shouldn't be able to enjoy it.

When is the last time a good guy with a gun has stopped a bad guy with a gun in Canada?

2017/06/27 Peel police responded to a 15 year old trying to steal a car with a BB gun and shot him from close range with an assault rifle.
