Why? Do you think the Hotel is to blame?

Blame congress

Rightwinger blames everyone but the shooter.

Interesting. Seems if you inflame his hatred you must point your finger at others.

The shooter was allowed to legally purchase a weapon capable of mowing down concert goers at 600 rounds per minute

Congress has done nothing in response to massacre after massacre

They share the blame

A question for you Americans ... why be in possession of "war" weapon ?
A weapon has been made to defend itself like one sees in the good movies of cowboys.a colt, a rifle. but not more.

Methinks it has something to do with expansion reaching the west coast & running outta wilderness, running outta shootable indians, no more gold in California & especially losing the Civil War

We have history in France of War.. Napoleon 1, two world war, French révolutioin but we can't be armed like you American.
I ask why people like Stephen Paddock could have so many weapon ?

The Mandalay Bay is gonna come outta this stinking worse than ANY republican

Because this is America and we love our guns

We eat, sleep and dream about guns

We have delusions of shooting it out with bad guys, defending the country against invaders, fighting the evil government. We were raised on cowboys and Indians and everything can be settled with a gun

We love our guns more than our children and believe they "keep us safe". We are willing to put up with 30,000 gun deaths a year, we ignore presidential assassinations and the slaughter of six year olds.....it is a small price to pay for out second amendment rights

 

[IS_JESS_AN_ACCOUNT]

OK, everyone, please play nice, the self-appointed "board credibility monitor" seems to be quite agitated....not to mention delusional.

 

[OldLady]

Why does the "girlfriends" work badge still fuction to let this guy skulk the secret entrance-exits? Does this girlfriend still work there? If not.....hotel got issues. More fake news trickled out perhaps?

She lived in the Mesquite home but knows nothing? She just happens to go to Japan the night of shooting? Nice. Who paid?

According to the article I read, she never worked at Mandalay Bay. She worked somewhere else a few years ago, which is how she met Paddock. There is still conflicting info out there.

I do not judge your way, your culture. you possess weapons I ask only a simple question to understand.
Here we have no right to defend ourselves and you have the right (armé jusqu'aux dents ) to be up to the tooth.

The second amendment was concocted to keep the government in check. You don't do that with sling shots.

He also was well known to berate her in public. He justified it by saying he was paying for her life. Also, it appears he was providing her an apartment in a building he owned.

I believe that in-store weapons sales are controlled but summarily.
But internet sales are possible to purchase. I make purchases by Ebay. and there are arms sales on the Ebay site.

Bump-Stock Device Received ATF Green Light During Obama Administration
October 4, 2017 | On June 7, 2010 -- about a year and a half into the Barack Obama administration -- the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued an opinion letter, giving the go-ahead to an after-market accessory that allows the user to “bump fire” a semi-automatic rifle.

A company called Slide Fire had earlier sent its patented replacement shoulder stock to ATF’s Firearms Technology Branch, asking for an evaluation of the device. The ATF, in reply, wrote: “Your letter advises that the stock (referenced in this reply as a ‘bump stock’) is intended to assist persons whose hands have limited mobility to ‘bump fire’ an AR-15 type rifle.” The device replaces the factory stock and grip. The replacement stock moves back and forth with the gun's recoil, allowing it to fire rapidly and continuously as the trigger repeatedly is bumped into the shooter’s finger. A switch allows the user to select semi-automatic fire (one shot for each trigger pull) or the more rapid “bump fire.”

This photo, taken from a video posted on the Slide Fire website, shows the after-market bump stock device, which uses the gun's recoil to cause rapid discharge of bullets.​

According to the ATF’s June 2010 letter: “The stock has no automatically functioning mechanical parts or springs and performs no automatic mechanical function when installed. In order to use the device, the shooter must apply constant forward pressure with the non-shooting hands and constant rearward pressure with the shooting hand. Accordingly, we find that the ‘bump stock’ is a firearm part and is not regulated as a firearm under the Gun Control Act or the National Firearms Act.” Slide Fire has posted a copy of the approval letter on its website.

The company also notes, “By definition, our current rifle stocks are not adjustable stocks or trigger manipulation devices.” An ATF agent told CBS News that the Las Vegas shooter had equipped 12 of the rifles found in his hotel room with bump stocks. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on Tuesday that she intends to introduce legislation to close what she calls the “automatic weapon loophole,” and some Republicans have indicated they may be open to the idea of banning after-market devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to simulate automatic fire.

12 Rifles in Gunman's Hotel Room Had Bump Stocks; 33 Guns Purchased in Past Year
October 4, 2017 - The 64-year-old man who opened fire on Las Vegas concert-goers Sunday night installed bump stocks on 12 of the semi-automatic rifles found in his hotel room, an ATF agent told "CBS This Morning."

Bump stocks are among the devices, legal at the moment, that allow a semi-automatic weapon to fire continuously, but weapons equipped with bump stocks do not fall into the machine gun category. "A semi-automatic weapon with a bump-fire stock on it is not an illegal machine gun," Jill Snyder, a special agent in charge at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told CBS's Norah O'Donnell.

On Tuesday afternoon, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters that the gunman had modified his weapoBump-Stock Device Received ATF Green Light During Obama Administration
By Susan Jones | October 4, 2017 | ns to make them fire faster. "ATF is participating in that evaluation," he told a news conference. "I can't give you an answer on whether any of them are automatic or not, but we are aware of a device called a bump stock and that enables an individual to speed up the discharge of ammunition. I don't want to give you any more details than that, but in partnership with the FBI, the ATF, they are sending those weapons back East to the FBI crime lab for further evaluation," Lombardo said.

ATF Special Agent Snyder was more forthcoming with information about the gunman's firearms: "From October 2016 to September 28, 2017, he purchased 33 firearms, majority of them rifles," Snyder told CBS. "We wouldn't get notified of the purchases of the rifles, we would only get notified if there was a multiple sale, which would be two or more handguns in an individual purchase," she added. Snyder also told CBS that the gunman used magazines holding 60 to 100 rounds each.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Joseph Lombardo holds a news conference on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 3, 2017.​

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Tuesday said she plans to introduce legislation to "close the automatic weapon loophole." The senator issued a statement noting that the sale and manufacture of automatic weapons have been illegal since 1986, and automatic weapons produced before 1986 are regulated and tracked by the ATF: “Despite this, individuals are able to purchase bump fire stocks for less than $200 and easily convert a semi-automatic weapon into a firearm that can shoot between 400 and 800 rounds per minute and inflict absolute carnage," Feinstein wrote. "The Las Vegas shooter appears to have modified at least one of his weapons in this way. “A ban on bump fire stocks was included in my 2013 assault weapons bill, and I’m looking at how best to proceed with legislation to finally close this loophole. This is the least we should do in the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. It should be our highest priority.” In other news, the gunman's 62-year-old girlfriend has returned to the United States, arriving in Los Angeles overnight from the Philippines. Lombardo on Tuesday called her a "person of interest" in the case, and the FBI is believed to be interviewing her now.

‘There Is a False, Bizarre Kind of Courage That Comes With Attaching Yourself’ to…Very Powerful Weapons’
October 3, 2017 | Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) is pressing for new gun control laws.

Murphy told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" it’s not just the “specific damage” such rifles can do. It’s also the “false” courage that military-style weapons give to troubled people: “In Newtown, we ask ourselves whether Adam Lanza would have ever walked into that school if he didn’t have tactical weaponry. There is a false, bizarre kind of courage that comes with attaching yourself to these kind of very powerful weapons. “And there is a question as to whether these shooters would ever take up position if all they had was a pistol instead of a dangerous military style weapon.”

Authorities said they found 23 weapons, apparently purchased legally, inside the Mandalay Bay hotel room where a 64-year-old man with no apparent motive or malady opened fire on a crowd of concert-goers, killing 59. Another 527 were injured, officials said. Murphy blamed the Las Vegas carnage “on the evil inside this one individual,” but also on U.S. laws “that allowed him to get his hands on weapons that are illegal in almost every other civilized country.” “Maybe he still would have taken a pistol and shot through the window, killed perhaps dozens below, but it would have been difficult without the semi-automatic weapon and the modifications that are still legal to this day in this country,” Murphy said. “So I think we’ve got to talk about change immediately, and the fact of the matter is, while everybody is focused on Las Vegas, mass shootings represent one percent of the gun casualties in this country. Every single day people are being killed by guns, and we need to talk about what’s happening in Baltimore, Chicago and Hartford on a daily basis.”

Murphy called for universal background checks, saying that change alone “probably would have stopped many of the other murders around the country on Sunday, before the shooting started in Las Vegas.” He said a background check bill is most likely to pass Congress, “because it enjoys widespread approval.”

Yes, the biggest threat you had on your soil was on September 11, 2001 but it had military cuts before and when September 11 happen you only had two F-15s

of available to get down the threatening planes.
Your Army is Powerful, a few years ago I saw a show that said your Army is 5 times more powerful than the others. but there were still cuts under Obama.

Questions About Paddock’s Expertise



At National Review, David French observes that despite suspected shooter Stephen Paddock possibly using an illegal fully-automatic weapon, reportedly having an arsenal of more than ten rifles, and holing up in a rented corner room with a setup sophisticated enough to have cameras to alert him to approaching police, his relatives claim Paddock had none of the firearms interest, expertise, or military background one would expect to find in someone who went to Paddock’s lengths to prepare this attack:

These are questions I’ve previously posed. How the hell did he know what a Kill Box is and be able to move positions to remain in it?

No, only two that was available around New York and Obama made some cut when he was elect in 2008.
