I just can't help but find a bit ironic the worst shooting in American history happened in spite of gun laws. Everything points to this guy buying this shit off a blackmarket, or some other shady place. Which is exactly what a lot of gun people have been saying.

The truth is that there is no way to stop this from happening again. If you don't believe me, wait a couple days.

Good luck actually admitting that and being elected, so we just have one side bellowing about gun control while the other screams about rights to make it look like they're doing something.

One side yells for gun control, one side yells for less gun control, the narrative and talking points of both sides are decided by the media and repeated ad nauseam, it distracts from the facts of the case and anything else important, Congress and the rest of the government pass whatever they want while no one pays attention.

The media plays a huge role in making a ruckus and riling people to repeat their narrative instead of paying attention to the facts immediately after and letting anyone form their own opinion.
 
Upside is, the guys dead so taxpayers aren't going to be footing the bill for the trial and warehousing him for the rest of his life like we are for Roof.
 
All of the smug Eurofags who are sperging about how "it's a mall, not a shooting range" can kindly go fuck themselves and remember how there's a goddamn kebab nearly everyday in Europe, and no one does anything there because they'd rather give off the appearance of being "sophisticated" than keep their fellow Europeans from being brutally murdered by cunts who hate everything their culture stands for.
 
Gun control only happened in Australia after the Port Arthur massacre, because it was so shocking. Prior to that the state it took place in had literally no gun restrictions, you could own anything you wanted. These days the laws are restrictive but you can still own guns for hunting, sport and farming.
 
Would a gun have really helped though? I don't believe in gun control, but would a civilian with a gun be able to fight back against a guy that was 30+ floors high, at night, while a big ass crowd is running around them.

I feel like it's one of those moments where the guy had a good plan and no amount of gun control, or lack thereof would have helped anyone.

I think...I found the weapon he was using. I was on a chat talking with some folks about this, and one person wasnt too familiar with types of firearms, so i went looking for a video.

First, please watch the video of the concert.

Now, please watch this video from FPS Russia.

I...I think he might have had an M60 machinegun.

Either an M60or or SAW or any other belt fed machine gun with a 100 shot bucket. You can hear when the guy runs out of bullets after the 1st belt, reloads and shoots again.
 
Gun control in the UK became a far more pressing issue after the Dunblane Massacre in 1996, where an absolute psycho shot up a primary school and killed 18 people (16 children, 1 teacher, and the shooter killed himself).

The shooter was a disgraced ex-soldier and former scout leader that had been investigated by the police for child abuse and molestation.

Despite banning the sale of rifles/shotguns for civilians (the exception being for work or sporting related purposes) we still have the occasional shooting in the UK, i.e. the Raoul Moat shooting. Raoul was absolutely crazy bastard by all accounts, and makes interesting reading.
 
i heard from some source i cant find that the police found his room because of the smoke alarm going off.

So...was his entire floor and the floors above and below him completely vacant...?

I think most modern fire alarms are tied to a computer, where it tells you in which room the alarm was set off in. At least that's how it is in my dorm.

Couple that with the noise, and it was probably pretty easy to narrow down.

what i mean is, did no one in the building notice and call in a belt fed light machinegun being fired by the guy across the hall?

Australia is not really a comparable situation to the US though. Our murder rate has always been strikingly low. We're completely seabound and our customs are pretty good, so it's hard to smuggle guns here. Plus, I don't know, there's a different culture around guns. The NRA counterpart is much smaller and isn't taken anywhere near as seriously. Even before the restrictions, most people didn't own or care about firearms, and I hardly know anyone who could recite any part of our Constitution. The Port Arthur massacre was so shocking precisely because nothing like it had happened before. Most of the guns that were handed in after the bans were just old shit people found in their sheds.

It's always kind of funny how you hear about raids on drug dens and what not and the police report finding "half a million bucks of ice, half a million bucks of coke, and one unregistered handgun".

It's a hotel in Vegas. How many people go to bed by 10 in Vegas?

Most of the rooms were probably empty.
 
>8 guns
>thousands of rounds of ammo
>crowd is pretty much just fish in a barrel
>32 minutes until SWAT arrived

and yet he couldn't kill as many people as one muzzie with a truck.
 
50 lives extinguished in such a short time. This is tragic and horrifying. I really do believe there's a special place in hell reserved for mass murderers.

I just pray that the families of the victims can make it through this.

It wouldn't surprise me if most of the rooms around him were checked out to concert goers.

I go to bed fairly early but that's because of work. Nothing like waking up to some insane asshole getting the all time high score in your town.
