Imagine how terrifying it must have been to realize you were the hotel neighbor to the shooter.
Mass shooting at the Mandalay Bay Las Vegas; 58 dead, 500+ injured.

the gun control debate is effectively over no matter what happens. There could be a shooter tomorrow that guns down 400 people and it wouldn't move the needle I don't think.
The only way to save lives is to create extremely secure premises around places of large crowds. Metal detectors everywhere, music festivals must be indoors in a safe and secure environment.

Please don't do this.
The country is completely divided on gun control.
I sympathize with your frustration but calling America a joke of a country is lazy rhetoric akin to calling all Americans fat & lazy.
My heart goes out to all affected, both directly and indirectly.
Gun regulation would help. Sometimes you can't stop it regardless but that's a good place to start

Wasn't a single weapon most likely. And an auto fire gun into a large crowd....lucky he didn't kill more.

Many of those injuries are likely not all from the shooter, but people getting hurt in the panic. People were getting knocked over, trampled, jumping over fences, tripping, etc, etc.
Some of the deaths are possibly not even from the shooter, but from injuries sustained in the panic

They didn't do it for the elementary school shooting.. I doubt they will now and thats horrible.
Point and shoot. That is what guns are for.
Had "more than 10" rifles in the room.

Lots of guns come apart. Put into multiple bags/luggage and bring up to your room. Simple.

I don't think 450 folks were shot. Pretty sure a bunch of injuries were from the panic/rush to get out of the area. I'd imagine lots of people got trampled/injured in the chaos.
10+ weapons. Dont have to reload when you just pick up another weapon.

People arent actually scared of violent Islamic extremism, theyre scared of brown and black people for which violent Islamic extremism is a convenient cover.
So Im not sure how ISIS taking credit for an old white dudes killing spree isnt super-uncomfortable and awkward for the fearmongers.

It would actually be the first time, no ?
I really do hope it's just a false claim. They do claim attack impossible to corroborate, but in this case, a 60+ white, we will know fast.

We don't even know for sure if it's full auto.
Shootings in America have become so common place that people become desentisized to it.

But we dont have a gun problem.
Yea two big suitcases could easily fit 10 rifles and two big suitcases wouldn't really be weird at a hotel

The fact that our country is divided on this is a fucking joke.
Yeah! It's a start! It does SOMETHING. Anything!
Fuck the NRA! Goddamn, fuck these vile people who can turn off their decency and awareness of reality on a whim.

Agreed but given the recent mass shootings such as Sandy Hook, you can imagine that this path to prevention seems rather unreachable.
What else can be done?
Thanks, will watch this stream.
No, it wouldn't be the first time ISIS claimed responsibility for an attack they were not involved with.
vile scum
The poster asked "what can you do to prevent this?". Gun control is literally the answer.
And yes, after these fucking assholes did nothing after Sandy Hook, it's definitely not going to happen any time soon.
Just carry them up to your room? You could easily put a few in the kind of luggage you use for golf clubs, for example. Of all the logistical considerations that have to go into a shooting like this, getting guns into the hotel room is probably the most trivial part.

Alt-Right and Russian bots spreading literal fake news and trying to spin this are literally terrorists in my book.

American gun control at its finest. While this is clearly a tragedy, there is no doubt in my mind that many of the people in the crowd (at a country music festival) are probably advocates of unrestricted firearms access and have either directly or indirectly reaped what they sowed. No one ever deserves to be gunned down in cold blood, but this is America at its essence.
Our country is a joke, just look at our president.

Trump set to go to Puerto Rico tomorrow. I'll be pissed if he cancels that and uses this as an excuse since we all know he doesn't want to acknowledge PR.
