Horrific. Poor people.
Suppose asking why would be pointless?

Insane. Hard to understand how anyone can do this.

AFAIK no confirmed details about background or motive is out. There is a lot of attempts to assign him to various political views but at this point i dont trust any of it.

Very sad and scary.

Anything in print at this time other than simple statistics is pure speculation. And there is a LOT of that. Real answers, if there are any, won't be released for several days to allow for collection and analysis. So far no indication the creep had a FB page and published "manifesto" like so many other kooks do.

58 dead so far, with 500 plus in the hospital. I've seen the videos; the guy had to have had several automatic weapons stored with him, because that is all you hear, is the rapid fire of rifles.

I thought one of the bursts sounded like it possibly came from one of those cheap kits you can get to mount a pair of AKs with a crank handle like a gatling gun, there was a steady stream going for a while then it sounded like the ROF dropped off right before it stopped. May have been bump fire setups as well, If you're just gonna spray up a crowd with no worry about aiming they will put a lot of lead downrange in a hurry.

My thoughts as well. I've shot some of the bump mods, but the first video I saw, which was Aldean on stage singing, did not sound like the bump mods. Those first couple of rounds were very rapid.
You also have another valid point. The shooter was just throwing rounds down range into the crowd. A very, very sad day for all those involved. I have some friends that were down there in Vegas this weekend for the Route 91 festival. We still haven't heard from them yet.

Great news, my friends are okay! But, what they’ve told me about what they witnessed I cannot share on this forum. It is too horrifying, and too surreal. I’m just glad they’re okay.

If anyone is nearby and can donate blood, please do.
Actually, if you can donate blood wherever you are, please do.

this was a bad one. it is going to hurt for a long time.
of all instances in the world where change was enacted to prevent a repeat event. This is certainly near the top. .....
i know rule 14 is right there.
The story i got on tv last night about 5 hour lines to give blood... :salute

Well...I think you know what you need to do if you want to prevent this from happen again...

I don't think YOU do. But rule #14.

i can think of a few of this guys tactics that could be eliminated. The debate would be over "what" or "if any". Im sure nevada will squeeze a few out.
gotta go before :noid

I am against gun control for the most part but it is time for some control. The NRA should take the lead on this or risk total gun control.
Stop the use of modifications to achieve automatic firing.
Stop sales at gun shows. Please note the Savannah gun show has had two accidental shootings in the last three years to add to the problem.
-
When a guy can buy 42 guns, modify several of them to be effectively machine guns and bring them to a hotel without triggering any alarm. Then you have an issue. At some point along the way someone should have reacted...

Why should the NRA take lead on this?

I disagree, gun show sales are not the problem.... As far as the 2 accidental shootings, I have no comment....except empty/unloaded guns are more deadly than people realize....
Too soon to be talking/debating new or tougher gun control laws.... and the things about new or tougher gun control laws will only affect the modeled citizens.... The others that shouldn't have or be allowed to have firearms, any and all gun laws will not work, even if the US was to become a gun free nation, the criminals and idiots that want a firearm will get their hands on them....
I hope they push through the bill where each state will acknowledge all other states people that have CCW permits...
They should bring back public hangings for a majority of the crimes and hold it on public TV networks at like 12 noon every Saturday.... People might stop and think about it and the results of the crimes before committing them...

Because of Rule# 14, I will notr be specific BUT
I told my wife the night this happened "tomorrow those against ****

INteresting :aok
You will NEVER STOP a crazy person from killing people....NEVER....
If someone wants to kill they will kill....if you take legally owned property away from law abiding citizens then you will only have criminals with the deadly weapons....
Isn't murder against the law???? How many laws do you need on the books that will be broken by CRIMINALS???
Your aren't going to stop crazy...your gonna get people who don't break the law killed because they can't LEGALLY protect themselves...
How about we make a law against crazy people having deadly weapons??? Oh wait...a criminal is going to break the law regardless... :rolleyes:
