    This took place outside Mandalay Bay, and on the videos you can hear fully auto weapons being fired, with several reloads. Death toll is at 2 but with the amount to lead thrown into a crowd death toll will be higher than that, IMO. Shooter supposedly wounded, or down. The videos are rather horrific, and the question is who is responsible.

    Of course fully auto weapons are illegal.

    France and Canada yesterday, now this? Looks like militant Islam is ratcheting it up a notch?

    Auto weapon, a crowd..like shooting fish in a barrel. At least 20 dead and 100 wounded, so far.

    If it is multiple shooters as reported that is clearly a terrorist act

    It's getting to the stage where if anyone voluntarily goes to a crowd event they must have something close to a death wish.

    Single shooting suspect now dead!

    It is clearly an act of terrorism irrespective of the number of shooters.

    The intent was to terrorize although the motive is still TBD.

    What an bloody awful thing to happen, everyone enjoying themselves and then that... more fracking lunatics with weapons...
    My thoughts go out to all those injured and those families and friends who have lost loved ones...

    Based on police reports you are way off base.

    Ah, no they're not. Just need the class 3 permit. AFAIK, no properly licensed class 3 MG has been used to commit a homicide.

    Impossible to prevent this from happening again.

    I go to Vegas about every 6 weeks.

    I can't imagine this.

    Las Vegas will never be the same.

    Now death toll is at least 50.

    Deadliest mass shooting in USA history.

    Don't you just love the 2nd Amendment?

    I think he's saying Islam does not appear to be involved in this shooting so far.

    It was just a matter of time before Trump''s NEGATIVE influence on America would enable some mentally-deranged 2nd Amendment gun freak.

    If Hillary had been elected, this wouldn't have happened.

    Thanks a lot, Trump.

    Welcome to Trump's America.

    RIP to the victims. Best wishes to victim's families and those injured.

    Thanks a lot, Trump.

    That's because you are brilliant.

    If this happens at a Rap Concert Trump and most on the Forum would be blaming the victims, and know that's true.

    Maybe this tragedy can teach us something.
