*WTF This is horrible ... It's now 20 dead and over 100 injured. Gunman was on the 32nd floor of the hotel.

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by PlayhousePals.

This morning reports are 58 dead, 515 injured. Those numbers may rise.

Please defend why this guy was able to so easily acquire so many rapid-fire, high-capacity weapons.

I would guess Nevada law. I don't think they know yet what guns he had (legal or illegal) and any modification or add ons he used to fire so rapidly.

I found this interesting (terrifying) in how easily a semi auto gun can be made basically into an auto. https://www.wired.com/story/las-vegas-shooting-automatic-rifle/

I understand the legality. I question the morality.

This is what the laws of the country afford each and every citizen if they so choose.

Not cool. So I am to defend the availability of automatic guns. I can't. I suppose he conveted these into automatic. I am on vacation and not paying much attention to this.

I would think no conservative would shoot at country music fans.

What is known about this guy.??

Hmmmm...but it's pretty exclusively a right wing position that ANY regulation on firearms is inconceivable, and Republicans exclusively are responsible for those modifications, like bump stocks, something he used to make at least one gun rapid fire, being legal. They also allowed the assault weapons ban to expire, allowing him to legally purchase up to 40 easily converted military style rifles. In fact, they were about to make silencers much easier to get, which would have increased the mayhem by giving him longer to shoot before people realized what was happening, but held back because of the massacre.

....soooooo...you do have to defend the availability of automatic guns, because you vote for and support the people that keep them easily available and want to make it easier....assuming you aren't really Dimitri from Moscow.

Not much known about him yet, not political, not religious, just a rich retired gambler according to his family.

It's being reported that he tried to get rooms for Chance the a rapper and Lorde show, but the rooms he wanted weren't available.

Guns don't kill. People. Automatic or not. Crazy people kill.

Please tell me the last time a crazy person killed 50+ people without a gun.

Moving this video to newtboy's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Nice attack: truck driver named as France mourns 84 killed in Bastille Day atrocity – as it happened

You’re right. Cars and trucks are deadly in the wrong hands.

Which is why we regulate them. You need a licence to drive one. You are tested to see if you are a competent driver. People with serious mental health issues are restricted from driving and there are MASSIVE industry regulations that attempt to make these vehicles safer.

There’s also entire departments dedicated to studying road fatalities.

None of which is true of guns. The CDC can’t even STUDY gun violence.

You are as diluted as Newtboy. Guns are regulated to great extent.

You can make all guns illegal and still bad guys will use them. Better to let good guys have access to them also.

The bump stock ad-on this guy used would never be useful except in the situation he was in.. No accuracy just spraying lead down stream..

In America guns are as plentiful as roaches... impossible to rid yourself of them.


The guy could have used any other method using legally obtained items ( like his guns). He could have use Nitrogen fertilizer like the Oklahoma city bombing back in 1995.

If you want to kill people your going to find a way.

The guy appears to be more mental than anything else. Better to improve mental health laws and let finds/ workers to have a anonymous line to ATF to say hey this guy might be a danger to community.. And let that be a trigger when/if he applies to get a gun - which entail a more thorough background check

Thank you, sifters, for keeping this thread going for almost a full week without a single Upvote.
I mean that sincerely.
