Shooting at Mandalay Bay Resort (Las Vegas)

They would have used the lift.

Blues Brothers style, all shouting hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup

I know you were probably bring flippant but if they did 32 floors of stairs they'd probably be worn out. I'm guessing they were carrying about 50lbs of gear when you take into account their ballistic armor, helmets, long gun, pistol, ammunition for both guns, flash bang grenades and whatever breathing tools they'd have. This would be in addition to their body weight. SWAT operators typically aren't fatties. :)

You got it right first time. I was going for sarcasm but flippant is fine. Well spotted.

Vile country populated by deluded gun toting brainwashed idiots. Sick of hearing about the fucking shit hole. Room 101 the fucker

There's nothing wrong with the country, it's a fantastic place to visit and travel around, I've had many a holiday there, worked there and lived there, the U S seems to have more wankers than anyone else.

The Magna Carta is more like a bit of guidance, rather than any ossified, immutable rule. It's a deficient analogy.

It is the basis of the modern world! However, even then I went on to explain the Constitution and its importance. The analogy stands, even if you can't relate it back to the time it was so inspirational.

Today has been a good day. :)

Again -- find me one person -- ONE -- who will admit to being careless with his weapon. No offense, but anyone who believes you about "being concerned" is ridiculous. It's not personal; it's prudence. The stakes are infinitely higher if we are wrong about trusting you. You don't trust others; that's why you own a weapon, but you are asking us to trust you. You can make a mistake with terrible consequences. You probably won't. But you could.

I'm pretty sure you won't lose control of your car and plough down dozens of pedestrians, but you could! All it would take is a brake failure on a steep SF street and you're there! Lose your brakes in the Stockton tunnel and Union Square has a massacre on its hands!

I'm telling you that I have a gun for home defence and you are acting like I'm some kind of gun nutter?! Your SF fog is showing!

Where do you keep your gun?

Where do you keep your gun?

In a gun safe, even though it is none of your business.
