Shooting at Mandalay Bay Resort (Las Vegas)

Serial killers are different entirely, no relation or relevance to a single act of mass-murder.

mmm... yeah fair enough, I take your point

Groundhog day once again. Crazy idea but maybe stop letting every nut job have access to military grade weaponry and maybe this sort of shit would happen less often.

 

[SWP's back]

How ? Body search everyone coming in and out of the hotel ... hundreds of people every day.

Scan the bags at check in. Happens out here. Wouldn’t get an assault rifle into a hotel.

Scary stuff. I was there a few weeks ago... you can't go anywhere nowadays!

Normally I would agree with you but I can't see how the shooter could have selected his targets in this instance. Even though by all unconfirmed accounts this shooter was an anti-Trump Democrat I am veering on the side of mad as a Goose but the full story wont be out for a while yet. Whatever the reasons this is terrible and will result in people who own and want machine guns and killing tools arguing with people who don't want them, it's a vicious circle.

It was her ex husband who was the anti-Trump democrat. Nothing has been said about the guy who actually did the shooting unless you know different.

I can imagine now they need lots of blood donations.
A hub where people can go who are missing, lost, displaced.
Families need a hotline they can ring to get information on their loved ones

Im sure that’s all being taken care of.

Awful news. Always feels a bit more shocking when it's a place you've visited. I'm not a gambler but have ended up going to Vegas four times.

U.S. just won't learn when it comes to gun laws.

I have seen lots of stuff on social media but as of yet that speculation is unconfirmed as I pointed out.

They will have to look at security in the hotels now. Seems very lax

Impossible to do over there simply wouldnt work due to sheer numbers of people and of course in current law it's not an offence to enter the hotel with one or a number of weapons. They don't need to tighten hotel security they need to revisit their entire gun laws because it's only a matter off time till some loon aims to go one better and try and beat the latest record for numbers killed

It's perfectly legal to carry the gun into the hotel, madness.
