At least 59 dead, 100 injured in Las Vegas shooting

[El Kabong]

My boss is in vegas at the moment, staying at the Bellagio or something, she was due to fly back today but all the flights have been cancelled at the minute.

If there was an all American bloke standing in the same room as the shooter with an even bigger gun then this obviously wouldn't have happened.

Batman does not even use a gun, he would have taken him down.

OK

I feel like I have to ask this to the members from America.

Some of you have been quite vocal on immigration leading to terrorism in the UK, and valid points have been made on that subject (whether everyone agrees with them is another story)

But my question is (obviously) relating to your gun laws, 100 people killed in 2 attacks in the space of 12 months.

Those two attacks (today's one and the one at the gay bar last year) have killed a hell of a lot more than the terrorist attacks in the UK during the same time period.

If you think we should close our borders to attempt to stop future attacks/radicalisation then is it not time the US amends it gun laws to save future attacks like this?

Chicago has the strictest gun laws in America at the moment and 496 people have been shot and killed so far this year. Not by the police, not by 1 gunman, but because of gangland violence that for some reason will not be addressed.

The shooter had a fully automatic firearm IF he had it legally then that is likely a bureaucratic fuck up (highly unlikely) or he long walked this plan out, or something happened to him to break him. If he had it illegally (most likely) then he was breaking the law just by having that firearm on him. The problem then becomes how do you police such a thing? In interviews the brother said this guy "just snapped" I wouldn't begin to wonder about why, but he said "there's no political affiliation" with his shooting, but it simply will not matter because this WILL be politicized especially if this guy did not vote for Hillary.


Guns are the great equalizer and innocent people should not have their rights trampled on because some asshole up and decides to do something dumb.

WRONG.

Edward Woodward was the great Equalizer.
