Machine Gun sniper guns down 50 in Las Vegas

200 more injured. Sniper fired into a group of people watching a country music concert. 64 year old former auditor, with no criminal record was named the shooter.

The shooter...

 Killed himself before police got to him.

"Warmest condolences," Trump tweets to the surviving relatives.

Warmest.
Strange word choice.
Deepest or heartfelt would have been better.

Rick Klein fittingly said...

“This weekend would suggest that there is little or nothing exempt from the politics of division, as practiced by President Trump. Now comes a fresh test – the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, not to mention the Trump presidency, at a country-music festival in Las Vegas overnight. The ensuing days will test the president’s tone, and – depending on what’s learned about the shooter and his motivations – is very likely to involve the president’s name in some way. Can he resist the urge to punch – or counter-punch – in a time of national tragedy, compounded by an unfolding crisis in Puerto Rico?

“These types of stories always wind up being political, whether it’s about gun control or the sources of the dark forces in a gunman’s life. There’s a numbing familiarity to it all. What’s new to the equation is Trump, whose instincts have rarely taken him in the direction of unity. The president spent the weekend being defiantly Trump, even down to his golf-course routine. This week will challenge him to recognize what this moment calls for.”

Sen. Christ Murphy angrily said...

“This must stop. It is positively infuriating that my colleagues in Congress are so afraid of the gun industry that they pretend there aren’t public policy responses to this epidemic. There are, and the thoughts and prayers of politicians are cruelly hollow if they are paired with legislative indifference. It’s time for Congress to get off its ass and do something.”
— Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), on Twitter, in response to the mass shooting in Las Vegas.

MEANWHILE

Most Americans Say Trump Is Wrong on NFL Protests
October 2

A new USA Today/Suffolk University Poll finds that 68% of Americans believe President Trump’s call for NFL owners to fire the players and fans to boycott their games is inappropriate. That includes a third of Republicans as well as nine of 10 Democrats.

By 51% to 42%, those surveyed say the players’ protests are appropriate.

and if he had access to military aircraft (he had a pilot's license) and a MOAB, the mayhem would've been greater still. and this is even less relevant than your M-134 comment.

the NRA is not lobbying for US citizens to have access to fully automatic military weapons. to state as much is an egregious lie. typical of a leftist, but a lie nonetheless.

this is why i know you have no affiliation with any recognized church. no one who lies as much as you do could possibly have any legitimate religious affiliation.

The bump fire theory has been pretty much discounted. The fire was too rapid and prolonged.

The theory is he modified semi-automatic rifles to fully automatic.

This is now a difficult procedure and it makes the gun unreliable.

Which is why he had 10 of them.

Although the shooter apparently had a father with criminal connections, there seems to be surprisingly little of an ideological or criminal nature connected to the shooter himself so far, at least according to members of his family who seem genuinely dumbfounded.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are working closely with local authorities to assist with the investigation, and they will provide updates as to the investigation and how it develops.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

I want to thank the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and all of the first responders for their courageous efforts, and for helping to save the lives of so manhy. The speed with which they acted is miraculous, and prevented further loss of life. To have found the shooter so quickly after the first shots were fired is something for which we will always be thankful and grateful. It shows what true professionalism is all about.

Hundreds of our fellow citizens are now mourning the sudden loss of a loved one -- a parent, a child, a brother or sister. We cannot fathom their pain. We cannot imagine their loss. To the families of the victims: We are praying for you and we are here for you, and we ask God to help see you through this very dark event.

Scripture teaches us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” We seek comfort in those words, for we know that God lives in the hearts of those who grieve. To the wounded who are now recovering in hospitals, we are praying for your full and speedy recovery, and pledge to you our support from this day forward.

In memory of the fallen, I have directed that our great flag be flown at half-staff.

I will be visiting Las Vegas on Wednesday to meet with law enforcement, first responders, and the families of the victims.

In moments of tragedy and horror, America comes together as one -- and it always has. We call upon the bonds that unite us -- our faith, our family, and our shared values. We call upon the bonds of citizenship, the ties of community, and the comfort of our common humanity.

Our unity cannot be shattered by evil. Our bonds cannot be broken by violence. And though we feel such great anger at the senseless murder of our fellow citizens, it is our love that defines us today -- and always will, forever.

In times such as these, I know we are searching for some kind of meaning in the chaos, some kind of light in the darkness. The answers do not come easy. But we can take solace knowing that even the darkest space can be brightened by a single light, and even the most terrible despair can be illuminated by a single ray of hope.

Melania and I are praying for every American who has been hurt, wounded, or lost the ones they love so dearly in this terrible, terrible attack. We pray for the entire nation to find unity and peace. And we pray for the day when evil is banished, and the innocent are safe from hatred and from fear.

May God bless the souls of the lives that are lost. May God give us the grace of healing. And may God provide the grieving families with strength to carry on.

Thank you. God bless America. Thank you.

The gunman who authorities said killed at least 58 people at a Las Vegas music festival appears to have used at least one fully automatic rifle and had more than a dozen other firearms in his hotel room, a law-enforcement official said.

Investigators found 18 to 20 firearms, some fully automatic, in a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, the law-enforcement official said.

The police in Las Vegas have not yet offered details of the weapon or weapons used by the gunman in the Mandalay Bay Resort, but audio recordings of the mass shooting suggest that at least one automatic weapon might have been involved.

In some videos of the shooting, the rate of fire sounds inconsistent, at times sputtering. This suggests another possibility: that a weapon could have been modified to fire faster, a change to a semiautomatic firearms known as bump or slide fire. Such modifications harness the recoil to allow for rapid fire.

Still no definitive answer asshole....I'll refrain from further speculation,,,,,,

Authorities have not said where the weapons used in the massacre were obtained. One possible reason for the delay: the gun-tracing system in the U.S. relies on paper records and even microfilm.

Even though buyers must fill out forms with gun dealers, those records are not fully searchable by computer. Often, investigators tracking a serial number have to start with the manufacturer and manually trace the gun's history before they arrive at the most current purchase.

The man who checked into a Las Vegas hotel and massacred dozens of concertgoers with a vicious deluge of bullets late Sunday lived in a quiet retirement community in Mesquite, Nev., about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, the police say. Relatives and neighbors said he and his companion drew little attention to themselves.

The gunman, identified as Stephen Craig Paddock, 64, was described as a retiree who loved to gamble and who lived with his girlfriend, Marilou Danley, 62.

Relatives said Mr. Paddock had not displayed strong political or ideological beliefs in their interactions with him.

THE COWARDLY NRA Goes Dark After Las Vegas Massacre
October 3
Politico: “Democrats lashed out at the National Rifle Association after the worst mass shooting in American history Monday, but instead of fighting back the gun rights group retreated to a familiar posture: silence. The NRA’s website, Twitter feed and Facebook page—all of which are typically updated frequently throughout the day—went dark on Monday, posting no new content, and the group did not respond to several calls and emails seeking comment.

“But that doesn’t mean the powerful Washington lobbying organization isn’t extremely busy behind the scenes. After a mass casualty shooting like the one that killed 58 in Las Vegas Sunday night, the NRA invariably turns to a playbook it has perfected over several decades… The approach calls for aggressive fact-finding and long strategy sessions before any public statements. The Fairfax, Va.-based organization has waited weeks before responding to past deadly incidents that NRA critics call the indirect result of its resistance to tighter gun control.”

“Facebook said it estimates 10 million people saw ads it has discovered on its platform paid for by Russian entities, but warned that it may not have uncovered all malicious activity that attempted to interfere in the American political process,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The revelation from Facebook quantifies for the first time the spread of the known Russian activity since the social network said last month it had identified 470 ‘inauthentic’ Russian-backed accounts responsible for $100,000 in advertising spending.

How Russian Operatives Targeted U.S. Voters
October 3
Washington Post: “Russian operatives set up an array of misleading Web sites and social media pages to identify American voters susceptible to propaganda, then used a powerful Facebook tool to repeatedly send them messages designed to influence their political behavior, say people familiar with the investigation into foreign meddling in the U.S. election. The tactic resembles what American businesses and political campaigns have been doing in recent years to deliver messages to potentially interested persons online."

commie said...

The idiocy of the right continues.....too bad this guy wasn't in Vegas....

Pat Robertson has attributed the mass shooting in Las Vegas Sunday night to “disrespect for authority” including President Trump.

On the Monday broadcast of his Christian show ‘The 700 Club,’ the televangelist discussed the tragic event and then asked, “Violence in the streets, ladies and gentlemen. Why is it happening?”

“The fact that we have disrespect for authority—there is profound disrespect of our president, all across this nation. They say terrible things about him—it’s in the news, it’s in other places," Robertson said. "There is disrespect now for our national anthem, disrespect for our veterans, disrespect for the institutions of our government, disrespect for the court system. All the way up and down the line, disrespect.”

Myth 5: Silencers Turn Gunfire Into a Gentle Whisper

The Myth:

Cautious spies and assassins know that if you're going to take out a bad guy in an office or a library, be sure to use a silencer. It turns the concussive "bang" into a neutered "ptew."

Itty-bitty handguns aren't the only things you can silence. Giant freaking shotguns can even be fitted with a special silencer that renders them inaudible in quiet suburban neighborhoods.

The Problem:

Exploding gunpowder is loud. Really loud. As loud as a jet engine. A little metal tube won't do a whole lot to stop that. This is what a suppressed handgun actually sounds like:

If you can't watch the video, let us sum it up: It still sounds like a freaking handgun. It does not make a soft phut that you could mistake for a kitten landing on a pillow.

An unsilenced gunshot is around 140 to 160 decibels--that's in the range where hearing it once can permanently damage your ears. If you've never had a gun go off next to you, trust us when we say it's loud enough that your whole body will flinch at the sound of it. A silencer can get that all the way down to 120 or 130 decibles, aka the sound of a jackhammer. Still loud enough to cause physical pain if it's close enough to you.

So a silencer really just makes a large gun sound like a smaller gun. If you're James Bond and are sneaking into the enemy's compound with a silenced pistol, you're basically hoping the guards will decide your gun is too small and wimpy to be a serious threat, and leave you be.

The camp was organized by the AUF, the youth division of the ruling Norwegian Labour Party (AP). Breivik, dressed in a homemade police uniform and showing false identification,[19][20] took a ferry to the island and opened fire at the participants, killing 68 of them outright,[7][8] and injuring at least 110 people, 55 of them seriously;[11][12] the 69th victim died in a hospital two days after the massacre.[9] Among the dead were personal friends of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, and the stepbrother of Norway's crown princess Mette-Marit.[21]

It was the deadliest attack in Norway since World War II,[22][23] and a survey found that one in four Norwegians knew "someone affected by the attacks".[24] The European Union, NATO and several countries around the world expressed their support for Norway and condemned the attacks. On 13 August 2012, Norway's prime minister received the Gjørv Report which concluded that Norway's police could have prevented the bombing of central Oslo and caught the gunman faster at Utøya, and that more security and emergency measures to prevent further attacks and "mitigate adverse effects" should have been implemented on 22 July.[25]


Norway has one of the most restrictive gun control laws in the world.

So a silencer really just makes a large gun sound like a smaller gun. If you're James Bond and are sneaking into the enemy's compound with a silenced pistol, you're basically hoping the guards will decide your gun is too small and wimpy to be a serious threat, and leave you be.

Cracked .com? Anyone who knows anything about silencers knows they don't completely silence a gun What your simplistic mind missed again is the fact there was a concert going on at the time and the silencer would have muted the sound of rapid fire to the point it would have taken more time to realize what was going in resulting in more deaths. In your zeal to try and cram something up my ass, you once again prove what little you know about weapons and everything science. Seems bump fire is what they have found in spite of what you think, which is nothing......LOLOLOL Dayum you are an asshole of massive proportions!!!!!

Nope you don't pass useless gun control laws just to make yourself feel.

You want background checks?

Paddock passed all background checks.

You want to ban guns?

The French terrorist got their's from the black market.

Evil finds a way and the only thing Gun Control laws affect is access to guns by law abiding citizens who never commits a crime.

It is a basic truism that if you ban guns then only criminals have them.

Your opinion is duly noted as being simplistic and stupid once again....your mantra......Yes he passed all checks to own 40 plus weapons, thousand of rounds of ammo, bump stocks, high capacity magazines legally.....seems there is a simple solution....ban the sale of assault weapons, high capacity magazines and bump fire stocks. Even an idiot like you can see the logic in that but you won't open your eyes because the govmt is after you and your guns.....which you probably don't even own....idiot.

Well, for anything but small caliber anyway. On a suppressed 22 you might have 30 decibels which is pretty quiet, and all that Bond might need for sneaking around. On something like the shooter used in this tragedy, it's a moronic idea.

Which calibers of guns?

The .22 and .25 are very deadly, so are those included in Opie Banned Weapons?

And if it is retroactive, how far back and who in forces it, it will require forced seizures. Will these searches and seizures be carried out without a warrent.

Statistician: After Researching Gun Violence, I No Longer Believe In Gun Control

Her name is Leah Libresco, formerly of Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight site, where she crunched the numbers in a study of all 33,000 gun homicides in the United States annually. She went in thinking that the usual liberal menu of anti-gun policies would reduce that number dramatically. She came out concluding that “the only selling point [of those policies] is that gun owners hate them.”

No it does not, those are your words not mine .


Yes, it does.


Are the differences between assault weapons and sporting weapons merely cosmetic?


Yes. 100 percent true.

Here's a test. Tell me what the functional difference is between these two firearms:

Times up.

This is a test I use on anyone who says we need to ban "assault weapons" but hunting rifles are ok. The firearms above are the Remington 7400 (top) and the DSA SA-58 (bottom).

They have the following qualities:

They are semi-automatic in operation.
They fire the .308 Winchester cartridge.
They are fed from a detachable box magazine.
They are both "black" rifles.
Both have pistol grips.

In other words, they are functionally identical! Other than the SA-58, a semi-auto civilian version of the FN-FAL, looking "scarier" and military, they're technically equal firearms in terms of lethality and usage. Yet, the one above is fine with most people, and even more so when you get the wood stocked version, but the bottom one they want to ban even if it has a wood stock (and some versions do).

Somehow, the argument that getting shot by an "assault weapon" is worse than being shot by a hunting rifle. A curious position. Because either of these rifles are deadly to deer or human with a single shot. .308 Winchester is not a round you ignore when hurled in your general direction. I've never heard a person hit by .308, assuming they survive, say "I am sure glad I was shot with the Remington! I could've been killed by the evil FN-FAL!".

"Assault weapon" is a marketing term invented by Josh Sugarmann of the Violence Policy Center (Assault Weapons and Accessories in America). It was coined for the express purpose of public deception and misdirection on policy issues. And it worked because it resulted in a purely symbolic ban from 1994-2004 and the media STILL bleats on, like loyal sheep, about "assault weapons" anytime there is a mass shooting regardless of whether a scary-looking rifle was used or not.

Sheriff: Did Las Vegas Shooter Get Radicalized

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo floated the possibility that Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock could have been “radicalized.”

“I want to understand the motivation that you described, okay, to prevent any future incidents, and, you know, did this person get radicalized unbeknownst to us? And we want to identify that source,” he told reporters during a press conference.


Still too early for any definitive conclusion but if he was radicalized, it's not too hard to see which way given his choice of victims.

What a crock of horseshit reporting this morn showing mental instability, just like you and stumpy......no different than you discounting bump fire yesterday.....once again promoting fake news like your POTUS......

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! Quora.com? Another BS source......

Both have pistol grips.

Sporting rifles do not have pistol grips since that they reduce accuracy....not good for hunting. Your lack of knowledge is astounding asshole I have a pistol grip shot gun.....terrible for hunting, put great for point and shoot for effect.....Idiot....keep trying, you may get something correct!!!

Really? Can you tell me what is untrue or inaccurate about the reporting?

Sporting rifles do not have pistol grips since that they reduce accuracy..

The Model 7400 was introduced in 1981 and was basically the same as the Model Four. Major differences included an checkered pistol-grip and straight comb stock. Initially only offered with a 22 in (56 cm) barrel, in 1988 an 18 in (46 cm) version was introduced.[3]

Stupid is as stupid does.

commie said...


Stupid is as stupid does. Pistol grip stocks are not desirable as a hunting weapon.....I have a buddy who owns a remington semi auto 30-06 hunting rifle semi auto- has a 4 shot magazine which is more than sufficient for hunting.....If there is a high capacity magazine available, it is not for hunting or needed... My comment still stands in spite of you again trying to teach me about something you have no knowledge on......Don't need to ban the weapon...the high capacity mags should be against the law...BTW....saw him bump fire that weapon.....as long as your target is the sky, it was very accurate...... You don't own a gun do you numb nutz.......

commie said...

BTW asshole..

Most hunters do not use semi-auto for deer hunting...Bolt action rifles are significantly more reliable and accurate than a typical semi for the average user...Yes, the military uses semi-s for sniping, but those weapons are match grade including ammo, cost lots of money which make them out of reach for most civilian hunters......

i still deer hunt with its predecessor - the 742, chambered in .280. it too has a checkered pistol grip stock.

jimmy kimmel would consider that an assault rifle that should be banned from civilian use.

liberals and guns - i've never seen so many uninformed people rush so quickly to comment on something they know so little about.

Nothing wrong with that weapon....Just the high capacity mags that hold more than 5 rounds or so should be banned....not that most people would spend a buck a shot for the helluva making a lot of noise....with a high capacity box mag....

Well, he did murder a number of people with those little bullets. Think how many more he might have killed by throwing two inch rocks? I faced gunmen & armed robbers while working the graveyard shift in 7-Eleven Stores every night for eleven thousand nights and yes, they did shot me three times over the years but the real damage was done by those who ran in and beat me with their fists, threw rocks or hit me with baseball bats.
