Shooting at Mandalay Bay Resort (Las Vegas)

[DelToro]

Truly shocking. That must make it one of, if not the worst, mass shootings in US history?

50 dead makes it the worst.

The worst one was the Pulse Nightclub last year. That was 49. So yeah, this is now the worst.

It's horrendous how quickly the numbers of these are going up and how much more common they're becoming.

10 years ago, the worst in US modern history was 23 killed in 1991. That's now been surpassed by Sandy Hook (27), Virginia Tech (32), Pulse nightclub (50) and now this.

17 of the 30 worst mass shootings since 1949 have now happened in the last 10 years.

It beggers belief that you can buy heavy machine guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition over the counter.

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

Yep ......and with little or no restrictions....the Republicans removed the barrier about people who are mentally ill being barred from buying weapons earlier this year

It's all about rights and an American's right to bear arms... no chance they will ever recover the situation .... they are too stupid (or they have zero appetite to reconsider the rules) and more important the NRA make billions annually.... a very sad state of affairs

I've had conversations with American colleagues and some on cruises and explained that I am glad that our police and the public generally aren't armed... they just don't get it....

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

Would be a lot easier to just stop selling automatic rifles.

They will blame this on hotel security because the alternative is admitting that their whole way of living is fucked up....
