Las Vegas shooting: Reports of shooter at Mandalay Bay Casino

Tell me when the troll has gone back under his dirty little bridge.

There is a difference between automatic fire and semiautomatic fire.

Bump stocks do not change semiautomatic fire into automatic fire.

Well, that is the impression the media has been giving. What exactly does it do then?

Automatic fire 1 trigger pull needed for multiple rounds to be fired
Semiautomatic fire 1 trigger pull needed for every round fired

So how is it different if you use a bump stock?

All bump firing does is use the natural recoil of the rifle to move the gun back and forth while the trigger finger remains stationary. Yes it can result in faster fire than keeping the rifle stationary and moving the trigger finger but it still isn't anywhere near as fast as automatic fire.

Doesn't seem like it would be very accurate at all.

It's not but the Vegas psycho was firing into a huge crowd

Las Vegas shooter's laptop missing its hard drive

A laptop computer recovered from the Las Vegas hotel room where Stephen Paddock launched the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was missing its hard drive, depriving investigators of a potential key source of information on why he killed and maimed so many people, ABC News has learned.

Paddock is believed to have removed the hard drive before fatally shooting himself, and the missing device has not yet been recovered, sources told ABC News.

. Mattered not in that particular situation because the chosen venue fit the chosen application he used. Until we learn how many were actually trampled verses how many were shot, we have to be highly critical of the bumpstock mechanism used to increase the rate of fire in order to injure as many as he could during the attack. It's either that he's a genius or a bumbling fool, so I ask everyone here which is it I wonder ??

Tucker Carlson had a great segment last night on the case, where as he was asking alot of the same questions we are, and therefore putting the spotlight back on it. He was pointing out how weird the case is getting, especially with the situation about the person Jesus Campos who was supposedly shot in the leg by Paddock.

You can bump fire a semiautomatic without a bump stock but of course you didn't know that.

The only thing that needs to be banned is quick reloading magazines. Just limit the guns to 15 rounds and reloading one cartridge at a time. That would eliminate the ability of one person to fire thousands of rounds into crowds.

There's already a way around that.

The Vegas shooter would not have fired so many shots with that contraption. He was firing 50 round burst. If laws don't work then eliminate all traffic & drug laws & building codes.

Yes. He fired hundreds of rounds of ammunition that fortunately hit nothing but air. That is the nature of rapid fire. You don't hit anything important.

lol...maybe if you're shooting at a single target.

He fired into a crowd of 20,000 people piled together like sardines....he hit plenty of people.

That's right, 20,000 people at the concert which makes it even more suspicious that "Paddock" would have needed to shoot from two Windows.

. Did the case and the people shot disappear off the face of the Earth ?? How do we know who was shot & wounded, and who was trampled ??? Where did the case go ??.

You are right. It's been pretty quiet. No names of people who died, no updates about how the people who were injured are doing, nothing.

What are you talking about?

These Are the Victims of the Las Vegas Shooting

I'm talking about on the news of course. This is from Time and it's dated October 6. It is now October 24.

I agree with you ChrisL, this is the worst Mass shooting in the United States and after a few days they do not talk about it anymore. I thought it was only here in France that it did not interest the media. CNN talked about it for a few days and that's it. no follow-up, no other information on the victims, the wounded or the shooter "Paddock" NOTHING.
In France, 3 days after the Mass shooting the news was about Brigitte Macron and her blue skirt with a banner at the bottom of the tv that said: the brother of Paddock talk and then nothing.
The media is pretty screw up, i tell you.

Jesus Campos left for Mexico days after Las Vegas shooting | Daily Mail Online

Jesus Campos, the security guard that was shot in the leg, left the country right after the shooting, then came back about a week later.

Las Vegas victims targeted by death threats after surviving massacre: ‘I hope someone truly shoots you’

 

[beagle9]

Was the group being targeted, a target based upon their supposed political views or supposed affiliation to what may have been considered as a Trump supporter(s) ???? Could Paddock have been hired by outsiders, and what exactly are the connections in it all ?? Who hired Steven Paddock ? Was Paddock murdered after he committed the act that he committed ????

He shot from two windows, because he didnt just shoot at the crowd. He also tried to blow up a fuel tank. These are facts known to anyone who reads the news.

. Yes, and the fact that he took it that far seems to suggest it was a hired hit that was meant to do maximum damage. Who hired Paddock to do what he had done ?? Was he desperate for money due to some events that took place in his life, and who knew of his desperation ? Was he betrayed after being hired, and then killed after the hit took place ??

It doesnt suggest that to me at all, and I find that to be silly. Nobody hired him. He just went on a killing spree.

 

[beagle9]

What if Paddock was hired, betrayed, and then killed in order to be framed as the soul person involved as he was found laying on the floor alledgedly a victim of suicide ?? Who could have framed Paddock ??

 

[beagle9]

Think people..

 

[beagle9]

What, another set up in Niger ?? What is going on with all these "SET UP'S taking place against our soldiers and our citizens now ?? Another topic, but are these events connected in some weird way ? Are their inward forces working with outside forces to hurt American's, and to hurt the American political system in this nation ?? Are people being targeted for their supposed political beliefs, active orders in the military or upon their affiliations and/or views ??

Is there video from anywhere that can be super imposed in order to actually see the person in the window firing the weapon(s) ?
