Another terrible tragedy. Is being able to buy assault rifles from Walmart really something America can't do without? What exactly would it take for the gun control issue to be dealt with?

RIP to the victims and apologies in advance for what Supreme Leader Cheeto will say in response to this terroir act.

America blinked a bit when Elementary School children were gunned down but not even that was enough to generate enough outrage for change. FoxNews already had phoned in interviews where there "Experts" were already saying it was without a doubt a terrorist attack implying heavily of the Islamic variety.

See if its Muslims then they can just blame it on that and not the fact guns are so easy to get.

It's at the very least domestic terrorism.

We don't know that. Terrorism requires a particular political aim to distinguish it from any other violent crime. There's nothing specifically at this point that indicates that there is (or isn't) such a motivation.

I always hope that they manage to take these fucking murderers alive, instead of killing them, to be able to find as much info as possible and to prevent other terrorist attacks. God damn fucking disgusting terrorist vermin.

I don't know what kind of info they could find out. It's not like these mass shooters socialize with each other or have some sort of gang.

But I wish they could serve a slow, miserable lifetime behind bars. Death is too easy for these animals.
 
Awful tragedy. Thoughts are with the victims. One man shooting 100+ people is insane and terrifying.

It's hard not to be too cynical about it though, as with the gun culture the way it is in the USA it seems like there's some major shooting every few months. I doubt it will ever change though.

Well, there is always the possibility to even find one contact from a forum for sociopaths or something. If nothing else, having them isolated for eternity might discourage perhaps one other act. Then again, killing them on the spot might do the same. I assume all law enforcement individuals engaging are just prioritizing the safety of everyone, which is of course what they should be doing. I just get so frustrated when the killers ”get away”, if you see what I mean.
 
ok, we went from "got ISIS written all over it", via "obviously multiple shooters" to "looks hispanic".
Can we stop being hobby detectives please.

Like, whatever speculation is made on one page of this thread is immediately proven false on the next. :/
Stop connecting random dots, please.

* ISIS has supposedly threatened almost EVERY major American city. (just try it out, google 'ISIS Seattle', 'ISIS Austin', ...)
* there are crazy people EVERYWHERE that tell people EVERY DAY "we're all going to die"

please don't be reddit, GAF :(
 
Any info on the weapon used? Sounds a lot like an m60 or similar LMG

How does one even get their hands on a gun like that ffs
 
I know this person on CNN is extremely rattled but the reporter should really tell her the facts and not let her keep saying there must have been another shooter on the ground

Ok, the CNN reporter finally interrupted with what the police said


This person also wants there to be a policy where there is always someone nearby to put down a shooter like this.....

Social media quick to potentially name the shooter, his motifs, and already have a wiki page . Wtf

I wouldn't trust that page. Pretty sure I know what site you are talking about.

http://www.breitbart.com/california/2016/02/09/everipedia-the-wikipedia-competitor-for-the-people/

"At a time when Internet censorship has turned into a perceived #WAR against certain groups of people, a new hero has seemingly emerged as a siren for the masses. Everipedia, also known as "Thug Wikipedia" to the insiders–which includes everyone by design–is the unannounced, and impossible to ignore, lovechild of the popular online encyclopedia and Facebook."

If Breitbart is writing positive articles about your site then there is a problem.

Unlike Wikipedia, Everipedia allows anyone to create a page about any individual person, any organization, or any thing. Creating an Everipedia page is as simple as pasting a URL into the site's search bar which automatically populates the information into it. Mahbod said he even created an Everipedia page for his mom: "I had to make one for her. Otherwise, she would kick my ass."

One of the local Vegas stations had a guy on saying owning guns like an M249 is legal in NV. A lot of the ranges carry them for tourists to shoot.
 
It's pains me to think of all the people that ducked/"got down" because they didn't know where the bullets were coming from may have survived if they had ran.

Or maybe if you ran that would have made you a target. This is damned if you do, damned if you don't.

In one of the videos posted here, a woman shouted something along the lines of: "I can't go anywhere I need to stay on top of you".

That bit shook me to the core. I've been to Vegas as a kid, I have family there. There is no way shit can be this lax anymore. This one hit closer to home than the San Bernandino incident (not trying to belittle that tragedy), and I live in Southern California.
