If 250 round magazines didn't exist and only five round magazines were accessable to the public like how they are sold in "hunting AR's" today then this shooting still happens, but is much slower and much less lethal.
You could say they would make their own (they wouldn't) or they would get them from outside the US (not likely).
People have ALWAYS gone crazy and guns have always existed. Look at the mass shooting numbers during the Brady Bill era and compare them to the period after them. When crazy has way more fucking rounds without having to stop to reload or even aim to wipe out hordes of people that's a common sense foul.
Why can't you walk into Wal-Mart and buy a hand grenade? You know the fucking answer, but there is a pause when people talk about taking away 250 round barrel magazines. That's fucking retarded. News flash, an AR with 250 rounds is much more deadly than a hand grenade, yet hand grenades are way too dangerous to sell to the general public.
I own more guns than 90% of America, but I'm not stupid. This has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment.
Send over one a them 'thar 250 round magamazines will ya Shmarty pants?
250 round belts yes, magazines no.
This was Nevada where machine gun ownership is legal. But that means he passed an extensive FBI background check. IIRC there have only been 2 murders committed with legally owned machine guns. There's about 250,000 of them in the country.
That's the best argument I've seen for stricter gun control. Nice work.
Your argument is to install a "progressive" (code for commie) government. Can't do that while America is armed. That's why the left hates guns as they know they can never have that kind of control. If the left hated murders or murders of minorities, lefty run places like Shitcago would do something about black on black crime. It doesn't even bother you but then "the end justifies the means" eh comrade?
This shooter is either ISIS as they claim or a liberal loon.
Or he's a right wing gun nut. Or he's crazy with no agenda.
Why do you hate liberal trolls trying to make conservatives look bad?

A right winger wouldn't shoot up a country concert which is generally filled with conservatives.
There is a photo and video of an anti-Trump protest in Reno floating around pointing out a guy that sure looks like this guy as a Trump protester wearing a pink NASA shirt and a pussy hat. No idea if it's really him but definitely looks like him.

Put your bet down Sven.
I don't know and neither do you.
Fuck off.
I actually knew one of the dead victims from the concert. They ate at my table and lived near me. I had met another that has died and one that's wounded. Several other people I know were at the concert. Several friends children were at the concert. Hard to wrap your head around why someone would commit such an act of evil.

Hard to wrap your head around why you blame liberals with no evidence to the fact. And if you are so distraught with the deaths, that you think maintaining the status quo is the best option for the country.

So possibly attending a Trump Protest in Reno based on some hack website grainy photo to gunning down 600 people doesn't seem like a bit of a reach to you?
Not the best analogy and as @AZDuck has pointed out we're in the salad days of truck based terrorist attacks. It's a relatively easy problem to solve- i.e., concrete barriers like you see out in front of Husky Stadium.
How many plane hijackings have there been since 2001 with box cutters?
People often gather in the street. Bollards don't do shit in the thru way
America has had bollards since the first World Trade Center
Still has drive thrus
Not all bollards are created equal. You learn something new everyday here a Hardcore Husky. I didn't know what those things were called prior to this afternoon.

Disagree. if there had been bollards in the Ramblas (rhymes with NAMBLAS snort) that attack wouldn't have been successful at all. Likewise along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice and the Tower Bridge in London.
All of those are high-pedestrian traffic areas, and the Ramblas are a pedestrianized street. Tower Bridge is right by the Houses of Parliament.
Ramblas (also rhymes with Kurt Rambis) one of the spots where the Ramblas can be accessed from an street open to motor traffic:
Promenade des Anglais:
Tower Bridge:
Any place that has heavy pedestrian traffic, like these three, should be protected by bollards. Any time there is an event like a street fair or celebration that brings lots of people into the street, temporary barriers should be erected at the entrances.
In the Nice case, bollards would have given people an opportunity to run away that they didn't have, even if the middle of the street was still unprotected.
It isn't like you need to block off every street in every city, but cities have a pretty good idea which streets carry heavy pedestrian traffic. That's where they need to go.
