Re: Las Vegas
2 confirmed dead so far.
Here come the calls for open carry to prevent this sort of thing happening again.

Re: Las Vegas
Now they're talking about 20 dead.
One of the attackers is a local resident
That sounds like machine gun fire to me http://news.sky.com/video/moment-gunsho ... g-11064172" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Las Vegas
50+ dead now. WTF is wrong with you guys. Start getting rid of your guns - the death and misery from all of these constant shootings is appalling.

Re: Las Vegas
At what point must this person be at to start shooting people and in an extreme way like this? Has he been asking for psychological help and has been ignored or what? I really don't know much about what is happening at the moment

Re: Las Vegas
That kinda implies that anyone, can go & buy any weapon they choose, at any time, without any documentation whatsoever...which is simply not the case.

Re: Las Vegas
Nevada is a shall-issue state, meaning concealed carry permits must be issued to qualified applicants. Permits are issued by local law enforcement agencies at a cost of $105 and are valid for five years.
Unlike most states, Nevada requires permit holders to list each gun they intend to carry on the permit and qualify with those guns. The requirement excludes revolvers, which do not have to be listed individually. A handgun safety course is required, along with a background check, before permits can be issued.
Nevada does not issue permits to anyone under the age of 21, anyone who is barred from owning a gun under federal law, such as convicted felons, anyone who has habitually used alcohol or drugs within the past five years, anyone who has been convicted of a misdemeanor involving the use of force or violence within the past three years, or anyone convicted of domestic violence crimes who is still on probation

Re: Las Vegas
Good guy with a gun fails to prevent 2,916th successive mass shooting
America is beginning to wonder precisely when a good guy with a gun is actually going to prevent a mass shooting.
The good guy with a gun has been cited as an effective deterrent against firearm homicide, but has thus far failed to save any of the 280,000 Americans killed by firearms since 2000.
With yet another massacre taking place last night, some Americans have started to wonder where the heck this good guy actually is – and some lone, dissenting voices have begun to question if he even exists.
However, NRA spokesman Simon-Bob Williams insisted the strategy was sound.
“If fewer people were armed we’d actually have more mass shootings, not less”, he told us with his eyes pointing in different directions.
“That’s how logic works in these here parts, boy, and don’t you forget it.
“We armed teachers, airline passengers, the police, bus drivers, passers-by and deranged rednecks in a bid to boost safety.
“We just forget to include holidaymakers and concertgoers. We’ll be encouraging Congress to pass mandatory ‘holiday carry’ laws to ensure this never happens again.”

Re: Las Vegas
Where there's a will there's a way....the Manchester bombing being a case-in-point - no guns there yet dozens of casualties.
Same scenario with different methodology.

Re: Las Vegas
Are you comparing the two?
There have been 272 mass shootings so far this year in the US.

Re: Las Vegas
Because we've had 22 people killed in a bomb attack and the USA has got more than 11,000 gun deaths so far this year.
Because we don't accept bombing as part of our daily lift
Because we don't think it's a good idea to allow people to go to Walmart to buy bombs
Because we don't think people have the right to carry a bomb around with them
Because we don't argue having more bombs on our streets is the way to prevent future bombings
Because we don't think having access to bombs is needed to protect us from the government.

Re: Las Vegas
close to 60 dead and hundreds injured. Sounds like he planned it for some time. There was a massive stockpile of weapons and ammunition.
I wonder what his motive was?

Re: Las Vegas
It'll end up being 'revenge' for some perceived injustice.
You never see women doing nowt like that....when women commit serious crimes it's nearly always for personal gain.
