They need to learn more about the shooter before anything. If there's anti trump link or he's anti-right or something then they won't shutup about it.

He was a great regular guy who "just snapped".
Not like those Muslims that are evil if not from birth but from childhood.

As an outsider looking in though, all he ever seemed to do after a mass-shooting during his time in office, was to come out, look a bit teary eyed, read a statement and then proceed to do jack-shit to actually try and prevent any similar future attacks.
These people shouldn't have been born. They're not human, they're grime. Scum. Filth.

Posting again: For reference people: My cousin is a videographer and he travels all over North America to fancy hotels to interview doctors and pharma people, in their Hotel suite. He has been to NYC, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Chicago, LA and even Vegas.
I've joined him sometimes to help him with his work, and most of the time he has two of those big ass camera trunks with him, he wheels those up to the hotel suites and no one ever checks them, I mean they even kinda look military ... but yet no Hotel (no matter how prestige) bothers to even ask him what's inside.

The NRA vociferously opposes any and all gun regulation. It doesn't matter if the leglislation is sensible and easy to comply with.

AR15s are dirt cheap now. There was a huge push for production to meet the demand created by the hysteria that Obama would take everyones guns, and now the market is totally flooded. My coworker just got one for like 400 bucks. I wonder what ammo prices are like, since there was a huge run on that too

No they don't. They can express condolences. They're capable of that.

Oh definitely, this will just raise the surveillance state to new heights, and make America more paranoid. That'll also lead to more guns being sold.
A viscious spiral, going out of conrol.

He had no power outside of executive actions and urging people to act. You can only do so much with villains controlling the narrative and most of the government. Guns is one of the reason Trump got elected.
The GOP will propose litetally anything else but gun restrictions, no matter how fucking dumb, so I'm expecting someone to propose metal detectors at major public spaces. Just watch.

When I heard about this several hours ago the number of casualties was reported to be in the single digits...
My thoughts are with the families of those killed or injured.

This is awful news. RIP
Obama? His most passionate speech was after the nightclub in Florida, and he basically said his hands were tied.
Three things:
1. Crazy fuckers who would rather die than have their guns taken.
2. The well funded gun lobby that pays politicians to leave all gun control legislation alone.
3. The massive amount of legal changes to be made that would be opposed by 1 and 2.

The fuck?
This happens because voting makes no difference in the USA because of the terrible form of democracy this country runs under combined with the influence of corporate money on the elected officials. There is a reason 100 million people in this country just don't bother voting.
It would take a French Revolution style uprising to actually bring about meaningful change in the USA, but unlike France there are 50 million people in the USA that love the broken and corrupt government and are brainwashed by its propaganda. It would end in full on civil war. Oh and those 50 million people care more about having their guns then the lives of the 300+ people wounded or killed in Vegas. That is just the reality of this broken country.
and what was he going to do with a republican senate and republican house all mostly bought and owned by the NRA?
Because, deep down, empires give no fucks about anyone but themselves. Boils down to who's the smartest conquer and it is no longer us.

Yep, he pushed for people to act, for any laws to be passed. He wrote EO's to do anything in within his power.

I also own several. Different capabilities, different calibers, different sizes, different purposes, different brands, different heritages.
Think of something you collect and ask yourself why do you have more than 1 of them. Because they interest you. Because you like the designs, styles, functionality, features.

They're not going going to propose anything based on previous mass shootings. They literally don't care. And they have all the legislative power. I don't know about Nevada politics, but the state government would have more control here.
Also I would like a fourth one
4. If dozens of murdered children, cold blooded in Sandy Hook did not change anything then nothing qill.
Get used to it.
Except he did try to prevent similar attacks, so you clearly didn't look hard enough.
He and Dems pressed for legislation, and the GOP controlled Congress told them to fuck off.

What a shit hobby.
It's a Monday work day. Their PR and crisis management teams probably have a 10:30 meeting on how to spin this.
Their goal is more gun sales, so they need to accurately gauge what happened and their response to increase gun sales.

the shooter used a fully automatic weapon correct? Those are already illegal, and he probably got on black market.
such a tragedy

I'm still not convinced of this. I think those fat comfortable 50 million are a lot more cowardly than you'd think. Even with their fucking semiautomatic penis compensators.
The dude on the top right is a pornstar. Nice try, guys.

That's horrifying.... My heart goes out to the family and friends of the victims.
How where they even able to sneak these guns in there? I used to do security for concerts, and everything is checked when you walk into a concert/event hall. Where they acting as if they were part of the show or something?
EDIT: I've forgot that it's also part hotel.

Water is not wet!
Machines of death treated like toys.
Because of Sandy Hook.
For what it's worth, I have some friends who are typical "Keep government out of our lives" Republicans and they seem to be talking differently today.
Like others have said though, we need to keep talking about this and pushing it... not just shortly after a shooting occurs.
This doesn't happen everyday. We don't typically have to check everyone's bags all the time. That would be hell.
.223/5.56 is generally like $0.25-1.00 per round. Even .308/7.62 is generally in the same range. All in all, ammo is very cheap and if it's bought in bulk (like crates of thousands of rounds), it's even cheaper
The things i would collect wouldnt be anything i can kill another person with. I still get surprised when people talk so casually about owning guns, thank god its not a thing where i live.

We went through this.
It is more likely IMO that he just bought a 300 dollar legal mod.
Pretty much how it goes unfortunately. Absolutely crazy. Do we know if he was ex military? How did he manage to get his hands on a full auto weapon?
