  1. No. You don’t take rights away from hundreds of millions of law abiding people because of one lunatic. To those who have the knee jerk “do something” response I would ask “ok. What LAW would have prevented THIS particular incident?(and then we can add the “constitutional” qualifier to that analysis) So. In this case I’d concede the “bump stock” may have acted as a force multiplier (but as others have noted, full auto fire or “pray and spray” is highly over rated. I suspect given the weapon platforms he had at his disposal, I could be just if not more effective on semi auto- But. I’m a damned good shot and routinely shoot 500 yard targets). And both the NRA and GOP are looking at regulating their sake. Beyond that- what? Background checks? He passed them already. Hi cap mags? He had 23 guns in the fcuking room. And had plenty of time to do mag dumps. Gun ban - unconstitutional. And will lead to a civil war that will make 59 dead look like a good day. Listen. The only thing that would have prevented this is a fcuking force field around the venue. And it doesn’t exist. As somebody who has spent a lot of time at the Mandalay Bay recently and who missed being in the middle of this fcuking thing by a few days, it’s time to be realistic. Bad fcuking things sometimes just happen. And there’s nothing we can do about it. Planes crash and kill hundreds. And the next day we all hop on planes. And we hope it’s not ours that goes down. Fires break out in hotels and kill people. And we still go to hotels. Planes get hijacked and fly into buildings. And we still go up in high rises. And we know, it’s still more likely we’ll be killed by a drunk driver than having any of these abarent things happen to us. I’ve got a kid who doesn’t want me to go back to work now. And I have to explain to him that even if I was there in Vegas. At the time of the incident the odds of me getting hurt are slim. And there weee 20,000 people at this event and only 3% of THEM were hurt. And even my scared kid gets that.
  2. The NRA is a legislative body now??? It’s not the NRAs job to “correct” regulations by the ATF. Listen. I know more about guns. Own more guns. Have shot more guns than you’ve had hot lunches. And these bump stock things were largely below MY radar. Until I watched a video of one about ten minutes ago I was pretty unaware of how effectively they mimic automatic fire. It’s pretty amazing to me actually. And I still have a ton of questions (like did his finger fall off admirer the first three minutes) but I’d be willing to REGULATE them. And how was this “not an issue” in the past? Machine guns have been around since the 1910s. And we’re much more available than they are now until 1986. And yet they just don’t get used in crime.
  3. So. A modification allowed by Obama’s atf. That’s never been used in a crime before. Gets used to aid in the commission of a horrible crime. The nra and gop both instantly move to regulate the item. And you’re upset with them??? Your bias is showing. But then again. Democrats want the issue. Not real solutions.
  4. Private party sales are NOT regulated by federal law. Sales by registered FFLs must go through an FBI background check nation wide. Sales by private parties are a state by state issue. Many states in the West especially (California, Nevada etc) require that ALL sales go through an ffl. But that is a matter of state law. Here in Indiana and Kentucky private party sakes are not regulated. I can sell all of my guns to anybody I want withou an ffl or a background check. All I’m supposed to do is check a drivers license to insure they are residents of my state (buying a firearm across state lines is illegal). You’re not going to find anybody more educated in the gun laws in this country than me. After all. If nationwide CCW is ever recognized by the Supreme Court it will be because of an argument I formulated. The following states do NOT require background checks on private sales: Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas Georgia Idaho Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Missippippi Missouri Montana New Hampshire New Mexico North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming.
  5. Ok. The general aviation side of mccarran is closest to the Mandalay. This guy owns a bunch of planes. Knows his way around the GA side of an airport. My theory . He picked this concert because of its proximity to McCarren. He was going to park his car full of tannerite near the fuel tanks and blow it the fcuk up. Something caused him to abort that part and just shoot at the fuel tanks themselves. Which. Don’t blow up like in the movies.
  6. Was shooting at (huge) aviation fuel tanks next to the concert. Mccarran is right next door. I was surprised he didn’t shoot at landing planes.
  7. Fifty fifty pounds of tannerite in his car (enough to send his car into low earth orbit if it were mixed) Bought 30 guns in October of 16 (just before the election maybe?). Ok sleuths. What else could have triggered him in October of 16 to buy thirty guns and then use them exactly one year later? Hatred of pumpkin spice?
  8. Metro confirms the authenticity of the death photo.
  9. Completely clean shaved. No eyebrows.
  10. Bumpfire guys (never used one. Go figure). Can you bumpfire a gun while using a tripod??? Doesn’t seem like it?
  11. He shot through the door twice. Hit a hotel security guard and a cop. The swat team then blew the door off the hinges with a breach charge. Those suites have double doors. I stayed in that room a few floors below a few days ago.
  12. The lawsuit was against the cosmopolitan. I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think that’s an mgm property. Having said that. Mgms stock was down 5% yesterday. I still think I hear a belt fed thirty. And. I also hear two guns being fired at the same time in one video. And I don’t think it’s an echo.
  13. Multiple trips. Three bags at a time. No eyebrows raised.
  14. The line to donate blood is now five hours long. However, the vip concierge can get you in in five minutes.
  15. He fired from 5 to 15 minutes. With very few stops to switch guns /let the barrels cool down. I still think from what I heard that a belt fed thirty cal was involved. That “sewing machine” sound is the giveaway. The ars and aks just spray bullets at a much faster rate. Brrrrrrr. Instead of bump bump bump bump bump..... Plus. They run out fast. A thirty round mag goes in a few seconds. Maybe he had some drum mags. But they are notoriously shitty and jam constantly. He had belts. With hundreds of rounds.
  16. No. He won’t back down. You can stand him up at the gates of hell but he.... You get the idea.
  17. Gunshots definitely set off smoke detectors. They would have been going off after the tenth round or so. He fired thousands of rounds.
  18. head heart breaker gets his heart broken. By a myocardial infarction. On life support.
  19. I was just there. Got back Friday. Second trip in two weeks. I stay at delano at Mandalay Bay. I’m in shock. Sounds like a belt fed full auto.
  20. Monty hall, legendary host of Let's Make Deal dead at 96...

    Kim Jong Un

    Lots of trains full of armour and apcs being spotted moving around the country and heading towards port cities. I saw one heading north a few days ago. Another was spotted in Orange County headed towards Long Beach yesterday.
  22. Or as I like to call it "he who shall not be watched".
  23. What the fcuk?!?!?!? How in the hell did they say mayweather won 2 & 3? He got points for not shitting his pants? He didn't throw a fcuking punch?!?!
