Las Vegas shooting: Reports of shooter at Mandalay Bay Casino

[otto105]

He was probably a white NRA member working on a castle doctrine case.

Pray and spray is not accuracy... firearms do not kill people people kill people

Then you support people control over gun control?

Such as not allowing felons to buy guns?

Enforce current laws... New frivolous ones will not save a single soul

With current laws out country is filled with mass shootings, accidental shootings, cops killing people, people killing cops regularly...

This stuff is rare with gun control.

Na, current laws are not being enforced… Like criminal control.

What law should this guy have been picked up for violating?

Shit happens, frivolous gun control laws will not save a single soul. That's life

 

[Skull Pilot]

You ever hear of bombs? Are you that stupid?

No bombs in this attack, dope.
The cartoon shows physical attacks. Not bombs.

Bombs aren't physical attacks?

The cartoon I responded to did not feature bombs, dope.

Then obviously the meaning beyond the literal evades you

The meaning is the meaning, dope.
There is only one option in that cartoon that one man used to kill over fifty and injure four hundred. He certainly could not have accomplished that by beating, stabbing or strangling.

Like I said the meaning beyond the literal evades you

1. My heart felt sympathy to those that lost their loved ones in Vegas and to the injured.

2. The Second Amendment will not be repealed, so gun control discussion is moot.

3. Information is still trickling in about the shooter and until all of know the facts the only thing we know is his name, the shame he brought his family, and he should be remember as a terrorist and if anyone sold him the firearm illegally they should lose everything they hold dear to them including their damn life!

So with that the reality is none of us know much about the shooter and it will be about a week before correct information is released and by then everyone will have moved on to another Trump comment while this tragedy will be back page gossip...

The angry orange sends his "warm regards..."

Some in the mainstream media are calling him a Bernie Sanders supporter…

Good for him.

It's not as easy as you think to modify a gun for full auto.

If it was there'd be a shit ton more of them floating around

A modern semi auto with high capacity mags is a mass killer.

I've never seen a rifle semi or not chase anyone down the street and kill anybody… Have you?

They sure are used to kill mass people.

People kill people no firearms

How is it that he got a machine gun?...sounds like he had 10 of them.

.

The fact that he had so many guns with him proves he was not thinking clearly. One gun with a lot of ammunition is a lot more deadly for one shooter than one shooter with a lot of guns.

 

[rightwinger]

If the shooter had been Muslim, Trump would have used it as justification to permanently ban Muslim immigration

But since he was an older white male, he will just chalk it up to the weekly gun carnage our nation endures

Once again you ignore the mental health of the shooter. Had he been caught, those weapons would not have been used to kill anyone. That requires the hand of a cognizant (mentally unstable or otherwise) to use these weapons in that way. The weapons just don't animate themselves and start killing people.

Eh, perhaps I made a mistake logging on this morning... for I am being drawn into the politics of the matter.

Look...This is America

We do everything possible to ensure that someone planning a massacre has access to the best weapons and ammo possible. We don't want to inconvenience mass shooters

As to arming crazy people? We did nothing after the Sandy Hook shooter gunned down six year olds. Background checks? Sharing information on the mentally unstable? Restricting high capacity magazines?

Too inconvenient for gun owners

You conveniently omit that Adam Lanza killed his mother and stole her guns but hey why be truthful.

As far as I know Lanza didn't buy any guns himself.

Adam Lanza was freak'n crazy and everyone knew it. Our laws do nothing to try to prevent crazy people from gaining access to guns with large firing capacity. Holmes was crazy, Loughner was crazy, the gunman at Virginia Tech was crazy....this guy in Vegas was probably crazy

We don't care...God forbid a crazy person be blocked from access the weapons of his choice

It is not easy converting in a semi automatic to auto… Of course she would not know that though. LOL

It was not a fully automatic M4.

After seeing some of the video I would suggest it's one of those "bump fire" stocks. A full auto M4 can empty a 30 round mag in less than a second. It sounds like a rip rather distinct rapid shots.

I could be wrong, but that's how it sounded to me. I hope all the survivors recover quickly.

Someone who knew what they were doing would have killed a lot more people in the hour that asshole apparently had before he was taken out.

It was very effective either way. Why is the bump fire option even necessary or legal?

 

[rightwinger]

We didn't care about a massacre of 30 six year old first graders. Why should we care about 50-60 dead country music fans?

Um, if I didn't care, I wouldn't be in this thread making my opinion on the matter. You on the other hand, only seem to care when it plays along the narrative of your political worldviews. Why else would you be here? Goodness gracious, you guys are like clockwork. Guy with a gun offs scores of innocent people and you come preaching the ills of gun ownership and the supposed deficiencies of our current gun laws.

On a side note...

Life is life, young or old. And when that innocent life is brutally taken away, we all should care. We shouldn't politicize it either.

We don't give a rats ass about people being slaughtered
Makes a nice story for a day of two and then we go about our business

Crap. One could jam & he had a spare.

Do you even understand bump fire? Obviously not… LOL

Sounded like an automatic weapon and that he had several of them

This will, no doubt, ultimately end up in a discussion on what can be done about guns, as it should.
Meanwhile, let's hope for the best for the families of the dead, and that no more of the wounded die, shall we?

WHY is it the VERY first thing on the mind of gun grabbers....is doing something about guns rather than focusing on the PEOPLE.....both good AND bad rather than the objects they use?

Lets pray for the victims, focus on people and just stay off the topic of "evil objects" ok?

What are the chances of getting killed by someone using An AR or the like?

He kept telling them to turn down the music and get off his lawn.

Guess they didnt listen.

It doesn’t matter if the guy was a Republican or a Democrat. What he was was crazy and 50 of more people are dead regardless of which political party he may have belonged to. What needs to be done is something to try and prevent nut cases like him from getting their hands on military grade weapons.

 

[MarkDuffy]

Liberals hoping it is a white guy....

The ONLY posts I've seen on here are Republicans claiming it's a Muslim or an ANTFA member. STFU.

Some in the media are saying he was a Bernie Sanders supporter?

republicans now have agreed on today's talking points

He was prepared for 10 jams

His mother bought the guns, but she also took him shooting frequently.

She also failed to secure them from her psychopath son.
