    Oh I know why you did it

    But I am just saying you are cherry picking, just like Righty posters have cherry picked other stats in this same exact thread.

    I am still curious to see what the rest of the details are. This guy doesn't exactly have a "normal" past.

    They're reporting that he was a big fan of country music and has been known to attend many country music concerts in Vegas.

    Mass murders -are- more easily committed where the victims are unarmed.

    Actually, that isn't really true. Except for his father's crimes, he has a perfectly normal past from all that's been reported thus far. Unremarkable, as it were. Retired, quiet, former accountant, fan of gambling and country music, no religious or political affiliation. So far nothing noteworthy except his father's criminal history, which was many decades ago.

    Your first thought was right. It was over 1000ft away.

    Don't you think if this was the case he would have gone after Aldeen? (Sp?)

    Indeed. They're be more than happy for every household to have an AR15 over the front door.

    Gods below this is insane.

    You, sir, you are part of the problem this country has. You make me sick with your political points game. GROW. UP.

    This isn't about right or left. This isn't about trump or Clinton. Do you seriously think this man was thinking about left or right while he took 10 rifles to the 32nd floor of this hotel?

    Do you think, as he fired round after round into a seething mass of terrified humanity, that he checked first to see if the people he shot supported obamacare or its repeal, or supported Trump, or Clinton, if they were black, white, orange, salmon, before he fired at them?

    No. This man was not a rightist or a leftist.

    He was a PSYCHOPATH. Religiously influenced, politically influenced, none of that matters. He took 10 firearms up 32 floors to summarily and without care execute Americans - men, women, children. Young, old, lives lost, never to draw breath again, and here you sit, scoring political points.

    I've always said when the bombs and bullets fly the ideological bullshit falls away and we're left with just americans.

    You, sir, and everyone on this forum - you need to stop. This is not the time for POLITICS. It's the time to come together and end this madness. We need to make this a better place for our children, and it seems like no one cares to worry about that.

    They're too worried if this mass murderer will end up on their team or the other team.

    NEWSFLASH.

    WE'RE AMERICANS. THERE IS ONLY ONE TEAM. AMERICA.

    GROW. UP.

    Muddles the motive a bit, doesn't it?

    It was obviously premeditated, I don't know many people, even gun fanatics who carry 10 guns with them to go see a concert... So that makes getting pissed that he couldn't get a ticket for the concert an unlikely cause.

    Maybe he didn't like the singer? Who knows what goes through the suicidal mind of a sociopath of this nature.

    Hopefully his gf will be able to provide a bit more background to his mental state and motives.

    No more dialogue.

    If we don't surrender logic to their phony tears - they gun us down.

    Any discussion just buys them time to make their next coward move, while using their stations and socks to say it's something else.

    I second this.

    You Righties have a moral high ground you can take right now with all of the complaining you have done about Democrats. Posts like this show that the problems in America are much bigger than either or both parties.

    I think too they need to consider that the people being at that concert possibly just provided the convenience and large crowds he desired. The fact that it was a concert of the kind of music he himself liked may be just incidental.

    He was a sociopath, that much we know. Nobody of sound mind would do something like that.

    God what a terrible story all around.

    Militant and rabid, lol. Everyone that I interact often with owns at least 1 gun. Most own several. I have various guns for various jobs. The reason people run out and buy is because they are aware of your ilk's irrational approach to politics. You want to control everyone and everything.

    First thing I said was the woman who told the girls they were 'gong to die tonight' was one of the shooter,she had 45 minutes to go up there and start shooting. Now I hear they have shuffled her out of the country like the did the Bin Laden Family on 911 when the only planes allowed in the sky was the ones carrying the Bin Ladens.


    Meantime back at the ballgame.

    That to transfer a firearm across state lines, a FFL from the transferor's state send the gun to a FFL in the transferee's state, who then runs a background check; failure to do so results in a felony.

    Oh. Wait. That's CURRENT federal law. My bad.
