(1) This was not a sniper, this was a man unloading an automatic weapon of some sort onto a crowd.
(2) Your header for this thread trivializes the horror of this attack on the public.
(3) The shooter was a local resident, an older white guy, that does not likely have ties to ISIS.
(4) Like most mass shooters, he was white male, so (by your logic) that show the kind of low-life we need to watch carefully. Let's ban white males from having firearms, make them register, and hold all white males guilty for what happens "in their community."
(5) You kind of look like the guy. I am now going to be "rightfully" prejudiced against you.

If you looked at the time I posted, you would see I had very little info to go on. In fact I did say this was a terrible act. And at the time it was reported. umbers were low and sniper was the news wording not mine!

In fact, it was evident that HATE and EVIL reigned supreme over Vegas, and some of it seems to have drifted in the direction of your corner of the world!

Get a life.

I'm probably on RD's ignore list....

The thing we all took issue with was, as you just admitted, you had very little info to go on; but instead of just posting the facts, and waiting for more info -- you immediately assumed it was someone from another country and went on an anti-immigration rant. Basically, you did what all of us, yourself included, complain about the mainstream media for.

Instead of acknowledging that, you try to explain it away by admitting that you posted with very little info to go on; with no mention of how wrong you were about the shooter.

Frankly, you should go to work for MSNBC. You're exactly the kind of "reporter" and commentator they like to employ.

I'm having a hard time with this 72 minute thing.

Surely some of the rooms around this guy were occupied. I can't believe he fired off hundreds of rounds and nobody alerted the front desk? Shooting guns indoors is deafening, I know.

The soundproofing in that room must be amazing.

How could I put such a Christ like spirit as yourself on my ignore list! You are a peach of a guy, Don. After all, you have the :fruit: of the spirit in you and it is evident in your comments. ;)

Agreed. That bothers me too! I know the walls are fairly thick, but, come on? No one heard this? Strange indeed.

RDII has been reprimanded quite well. No need to further beat that dead horse.

The second time this moron has been quoted. It’s funny, with all the heroism we saw, selfless acts of bravery, you two decide to praise the guy who hid backstage and wrote a letter about how scared he was. Birds of a feather.

It looks like those cops who threw themselves over the living will not be acknowledged! They are and always will be heroes!

Oh, please. You're a pastor; isn't your *first* duty to speaking truth?

Yeah. Make guns illegal. That will stop the mayhem! Just like making murder illegal stopped the mayhem. Just like making shooting into a crowd illegal stopped the mayhem. Yep. Sure. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Wait! What? You're saying that murder should be legal?!

1. Guns will never be confiscated in this country, even if there are some people who would like such to happen. There are about 300,000,000 guns in this country. There is no way to make even a dent in such numbers.

2. If little children being slaughtered in Newtown didn't move the gun debate in this country toward changes in the laws about them, then I don't see how this latest massacre will move the gun debate.

Listening to the fire rate, I believe it was a full auto conversion with a heavy bolt carrier group. It could be a genuine pre ban full auto.

Not even in the ballpark with A1 speed. The A2 with the heavy bolt carrier and heavy buffer modification is still way faster than bump fire/slideefire.

Well, folks, the first pictures of the firearms used have been released.

As you can see, it is an AR-15 style clone with a bump stock. :)

Please post a quote of me saying murder should be illegal.

I didn't say you said it should be illegal. I said you appear to be saying it should be legal - that is indeed the thrust of your last post: if making something illegal doesn't stop it happening then there is no point in criminalising it.
