Second word in your post. What made him think that way? We don't know yet. It will be interesting to hear from his girlfriend, who is currently "out of the country" and whether his father, who was a bank robber (FBI's Most Wanted List years ago) "schooled" his son, or affected him in any way.just crazy there. what would possess a man to do that to innocent people??
Good pointGood luck to us all. You are more likely to die in a car crash than a gun shot wound, but the choice is, of course, yours. There is a lot of world out there to enjoy, so I hope you do.
Maybe, "voting" with your vacation dollars is one thing people with real votes would hear? If FL, NY, CA, NV all had zero input of tourist dollars, they might wake up and listen...
I can buy ammunition at every gas station in town easier than I could buy beer or cigs, never any ID. I can buy a semi automatic rifle at a dozen stores around here, yes they'd run a quick federal check but I'd be out the door in ten minutes.........
Just sayin
People do illegal stuff all the time, can't do anything about that. However, it is a FEDERAL OFFENCE for a normal seller at a Gun Show. People talk about the "gun show loophole" all the time, but that is a misnomer. It is ONLY PRIVATE SALES, usually in the parking lot, and the person selling the gun is responsible for the legality of the sale....and not many people selling automatic weapons, are there?Not strictly true. There's the Gun show loophole where private sellers dont need to perform a background check. They basically decide for themselves if the buyer looks dodgy.
yup interesting to find out. what goes through people’s minds when committing such atrocitiesSecond word in your post. What made him think that way? We don't know yet.

There will be much hand wringing over the next days and weeks, and we shouldn't jump to any conclusions given the severity of the offence and the horrific outcomes. America's gun laws will NOT change because of it, so we can forget that. All we can do is hope those in dire medical condition survive and live long productive lives, and spare a thought for those people who lost loved ones at a happy event in the supposed adult playground of the US.
To anyone on Bluemoon who knows someone in Vegas at this time, I hope they are safe, uninjured, and not impacted by this tragedy.
Las Vegas mass shooting is 273rd of 2017
Gun Violence Archive, a website that tracks incidents and crimes involving guns across the United States, said Sunday night's attack was the 273rd mass shooting in the country this year.
It defines a "mass shooting" as four or more people being shot at the same time or location.
It said in the first 275 days of the year there had been 273 mass shootings in 36 different US states.
Unfuckingbelievable!!
It will definitely put some off... I have a chance of a secondment to California and probably won’t go... I never thought i’d say that but there are too many idiots there... idiots with bibles and guns or both..Well I don't like it so after being a regular visitor to the US in the past I have decided to not go again. Good luck.
