    The wingnut conspiracy theorists hard at work. Next we'll find out it was all a hoax.

    the same mistake again. You don't suggest or make arguments for any legislation .
    Who is obstructing and how?

    I'm not going to participate in your giddy'esque performance. I mean you have really devolved into this incredible obtuseness.

    Reporting the facts isn't a mistake. The statistics are what they are. Every day, 30+ people are murdered and many more are injured by gun violence. Period. Every day anyone can purchase a firearm online from any individual and meet up in a parking lot to finish the sale. No questions asked. No training or licensing is required of any gun owner. No serial number tracking is required of any gun dealer. No limits on ammo purchase, you can literally purchase thousands of rounds without any problem. All facts.

    In case anyone wants to see Paddock dead. *SPOILER* for extremely graphic content.

    I wonder how all these photos keep getting leaked...

    Is it Vegas PD or Is it the FBI?

    This is exactly what I'm talking about. As much as I like going to the range with my AR, there's no reason to own one or anything of this magnitude. Those look like 50 round banana magazines and he has about 10 of them in the pic alone. And looks like he used a slide fire in that first pic. That's how he was able to fire so fast. Also another stupid ass legal thing to own.

    Some of the modifications on those guns are pretty ridiculous. Why the hell would anyone need a 100 mag, bump stock, hair trigger, etc?

    This stuff should be illegal to produce, let alone sell to the public. The only tangible reason for those mods is to commit mass atrocities like this one.

    Conspiracy theorists on twitter are assuming that's a suicide note on the side table in the bottom pic and the authorities aren't releasing it yet for whatever reason.

    Oh, sure, thanks, thread: America doesn't really have a problem. This is just another "FBI mishap gone bad." That makes sense.

    Good lord. The brain violence in this country is waaaay out in front of the gun violence.

    Conspiracy nuts aren't wasting any time on this one, nor is the "fake news" machine.

    Multiple shooters, Antifa plot, etc.

    I really really hope that Trump doesn’t do this but I really don’t want Trump near Vegas tomorrow cause I just don’t see a way he doesn’t use the moment to do something dumb like the half a dozen off kilter moments he had today in PR. It scares me that he has a Trump hotel in sight that you know he won’t be able to shut up about.

    FYI the conspiracy theories I’m already seeing are off the rails. WTF is wrong with people?

    What do people think someone hid in the air ducts when the police raided the room and planted the “alleged” shooters body as a way to show a white guy as the shooter and start a “liberal” debate about gun control?

    Because that’s EXACTLY what these conspiracy theories are leading you to believe. People are sick.

    Wherever he goes he is greeted with love and affection whether it was in Texas or PR. People love the Trump.

    Glad your family wasn't there.

    Welp, there goes the right wing-nut conspiracy theory that he was targeting country music festival-goers. Looks like he didn't give a **** who he was shooting :/
