Moot works at Google now but he sold 4chan to Hiroyuki Nishimura a few years back, which is when the site went really downhill since Hiroyuki never squashed /pol/ like Moot would occasionally do with /news/.

Well if he actually had a fully automatic gun, he didn't get it legally.
Full auto guns are illegal in America.

If only all the hotel staff had automatic weapons and could have averted the tragedy.
Little timmy in the next room could have opened fire the minute he heard a window break . Poor little timmy didnt have access to a machine gun .
I have made an executive order that every hotel room has an ar gun ready.
You could respond with a pistol to a high powered automatic rifle 32 stories a above you, and hundreds of meters away?

He destroyed the window in his room then fired. There's no balcony.
Probably more along the lines that hotel staff should have had been armed to the teeth and maybe then more bloodshed could have been avoided. Some bullshit like that.
Or just talk about the strength of America and how America needs to hold onto its strength and protect ourselves from future incidents.
Blah blah blah

There's no evidence at this time any illegal weaponry was used

Fuck actually acknowledging that this is a problem that can be fixed, let's expect people to be hyper aware for mass shootings anytime they do anything.
I'm so sick of how stupid and backwards this country is.

This attack was Bigly
I own some hotels in Vegas ---- very, very big, very successful hotels --- so this hits particularly close to home for me.
I'd like to offer my warmest condolences and most joyous sympathies for the victims of this attack
Well the issue at hand was that these weapons WERE NOT easily attainable which makes him owning them and in such high number more worrisome.
Most likely bought from the black market or from military personal through shady means.

It's laughable that any high functioning human being anywhere should be subjected to watch or listen to that amoral piece of shit spout his garbage after an inhuman event like this. World is fucked.

How hard is the conversion from semi to fully automatic on certain guns, though?

No. It'll be some bullshit about mental health and how well he knows and loves Vegas because he has properties there
Yeah, I feel like people in the Wild West were more receptive to facts.
It's like a two step modification. Literally a pin is taken out that restricts gunfire.

Thirty minutes now, for anyone wondering. Trump at 10:30 eastern
Couple hundred meters is well within rifle caliber range.

2015, Trump, didn't realize he already said "not enough guns":
"If you look at Paris, they didn't have guns, and they were slaughtered. If you look at what happened in California, they didn't have guns, and they were slaughtered."
"I think it would've been a lot better if they had guns in that room, somebody could protect," he said. "They could've protected themselves if they had guns."

It's like that Dave Chappelle joke about getting Ja Rule's take after 9/11
50+ people dead in a mass shooting let's hear what Donald Trump has to say.
Except in this case he's the POTUS

For certain guns, not terribly.
I'm pretty sure you can buy a third party crank that accelerates the fire rate on semi auto guns as well.

It was either balcony or the window was taken out to aim from. I saw a pic earlier today from the hotel showing the line of vision/distance. I'll try to find it again, but it's not nice trying to cycle through pictures online right now. The picture I saw wasn't depicting any violence, I believe it was taken from an unrelated time but being used as an illustration now.

Oh wow just found out a girl in my office was there and she's apparently ok but her friend was wounded and was in surgery
The GOP actively believes that incidents active shooter incidents can be prevented by people being armed.
It's fucking disgusting.

Expect a noncommittal statement on violence, loser, a preemptive censure toward those politicizing this tragedy.
I mean, yeahThis is one of the saddest and most profound tweets I've seen, and its an old one!

I got my first ban when that happened. Just indescribable anger at lawmakers and gun enthusiasts refusing to do a single God damn thing.
Might very well be slide fire / bump fire stock deployed. We just don't know at this stage. What we do know is that he had over the excess of 10 rifles.
He's really gonna struggle to say white male and terrorist in the same sentence.

OK thanks, there's always so many different accounts floating around this early.

This seems so strange to me that when something like this happens, the media immediately searches/stalks every corner of every public record to find where the suspect's relatives live -- then camp outside their house to ask them questions. Maybe its just me..
Who are we kidding. He's not going to say white or terrorist. He'll just say "let's wait for the facts on this disturbed individual".

Gotta get those interviews first. Think of the ratings!
The knowledge that a rifle might be pointed at the door must be unbelievably daunting.

The media is absolute cancer when it comes to national tragedies like this. They sell their soul to get the latest scoop/reactions/tearful interviews.
I'd love to know if he bought all 10 from the same place. If so, that probably should have raised some eyebrows.
Complete insanity. What's the point? They're not baseball cards.

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Can we please not do the back and forth whining about labels? Like honestly it's fucking gross.
