Horrendous attack in Las Vegas

[Herr Tubthumper]

Why would anyone, outside of the armed forces or police, need an automatic weapon?

If they're black, to protect themselves from the police?

Thanks for clearing that up

Dont think the USA will ever change. RIP to the victims.

I'd argue someone who kills on the name of a mystical god has mental health issues.
Anyway, back to the news. Poor ****ers.

They may ..but then they may not it’s not exclusive

This sort of atrocity doesn't shock me anymore. It's awful, and it's random for the victims.

Everybody knows it's going to happen again, and again, and.........

Only 3 pages on Tapatalk so far? Are we just anesthetised to these attacks? Would there be more pages if it was an Islamic fundamentalist? Have we just all given up on being shocked.

USA, for God’s sake recognize that people don’t need to carry guns around!

It's the times we live in now, before long attacks over here people won't batter an eyelid

I fear you are right.

Could just as easily have happened with a knife.

An assault rifle has only one use, to go to war, you can't hunt with one, you don't use them for target shooting, the only reason to have them is to shoot people, so, why won't the Yanks ban them?
Every Senator and Congressman who has ever voted to allow these weapons has blood on their hands.

looking at the figures its too protect themselves from other black people wouldn't you say?

 

[Bold Seagull]

A murderous fundamentalist is a murderous fundamentalist. A human being prepared to randomly kill as many fellow human beings as possible is beyond comprehension. This looks like rising beyond the current 50 dead, 400 in hospital. The distance been the hotel room and the festival lot is huge. They'll be no tweets about gun ownership though. Perfectly reasonable to be able to purchase a military grade automatic weapon capable of this carnage. Truly awful. There should be no distinction between atrocities.

Or a bible...

Wimbledon station commuters flee train in 'Bible' panic
Passengers forced open the doors on a busy rush-hour train and climbed on to tracks after becoming "panicked" in the carriage. It happened outside Wimbledon station in south-west London at 08:30 BST as a man apparently began reading lines aloud from the Bible. Commuters became scared when the man began quoting phrases such as, "death is not the end", a passenger said. Rail power lines were cut as passengers "self-evacuated", police said. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-41466140

Consequences could have been awful.

PS. I did briefly wonder if "self-evacuated" meant they pooed their pants.

Is this news on the Conspiracy Theories thread yet?

It is truly unfathomable when you consider the mass shooters the country has endured. Trump's argument of being armed at the scene wouldn't help here, the hotel room was a huge distance from the festival lot.

Watched one of the eye witness videos earlier. The sound of that gun is horrific. As you say, why the **** would you need one of them other than to mow people down in war?

Just seen a stat, 271 mass shootings so far in 2017. Two hundred and seventy one! Seriously, why the frig are they even bothering to worry about Islamists? Drop in the ****ing ocean.

This nutter had EIGHT guns in his room, eight!!

15 years in the Navy, I don't think I held 8 guns in all that time.

it is the 273rd day of 2017 today.....almost one per day.

He probably held all 8 legally too.

I must have stopped being shocked a long time ago. I can't understand why the people don't stand up against these gun laws. It's like reading the arguments on the CT thread, it makes no sense to me. There's not a lot we can do about it, except continue to mock the yanks in the hope that one day they'll see sense.

It is tragic waste of life, but then since this thread started, about 23,000 people have died from starvation, so I don't get shocked by people dying either.

Christ the videos on the news are mad, they were like sitting ducks
