Maybe the loser lost all his money gambling and decided to take it out on the world.
Who knows at this point. Some will say oh he was targeting a country concert (country fans = mostly conservative) so he was a liberal nutjob...but I'm guessing it could have been any artist, and this concert was selected more for the open air venue than the performers...but I have no fucking clue and am mostly speaking out my ass because there is no Backpage in Monterrey so I can't get a hooker on order and going out into town to find one seems about as smart as skipping through downtown Detroit in a KKK outfit. Monterrey looks shady as fuck. Dirty too. Neat mountains though. And cartels.
It would be wrong to politicize this tragedy by discussing the relationship between easy access to firearms and mass shootings in the United States.
Guns kill people, people don't kill people POTD.
Just think of how many people this asshole could have killed by hurling knives and ninja stars from his hotel balcony instead of spraying the crowd with rifle fire.
Automatic weapons and high capacity magazines are WMD's, period. They shouldn't be available to the general public regardless of their background check capabilities.

Red light districts in Mexico are usually locked down pretty tight by the cartels and mafia, so once there you're safe unless you act like an asshole. So don't do that. Hotel front desk people and taxi drivers are good sources of info. Be careful with taxis though. Unlicensed cabs in the DF have been linked to kidnappings and murders. You're in the deep end of the pool now, ese.
Do we know this guy was muslim and doing this for allah, or was he just a fucking crazy bastard? I'm in Mexico (stoopid job) and all the TV is in spanish...stoopid Sheraton.
ISIS took responsibility.
I really wish I could have blown up more of them.
Just found BBC News on the TV, I think it's the only english channel I have, and they were just saying LVPD just said it was not terror related?
Because he wasn't Muslim doesn't have anything to do with whether this was "terror related".
Who da fuck knows. Charles Whitman type? But wifey I'd a "person of interest."
Also, OBK, I like guns and am probably a better shot and know much more about them than you do.
Regulation to ensure public safety of a dangerous instrumentality =\= confiscation.
I'm fucking tired of mass murders happening every time some whack job gets it in his head to blow people away. It's fucking preventable terrorism.
Can't believe I am even going to wade into this because gun control debates always go so well on HH.
I agree that I am sick of these fucking loons (left or right or muslim or christian or whoever the fuck) killing piles of people. I agree that guns make it easier to inflict massive scale damage. But, I also think that the 2nd Amendment is there for a reason, and limiting it is a very bad idea on principle. Look, I'm a life member of the NRA and lifetime hunter/2nd amendment supporter. But, I am tired of seeing dozens of people mowed down (Orlando and Vegas). But what's the answer? How do you preserve a very important and unique freedom, while ensuring some basic level of public safety?
And the issue is, in my mind at least, the give an inch take a mile problem with modern politics. Coastal liberals will not be satisfied until they disarm America, no matter what bullshit sound bites they put on the evening news about "sensible gun legislation." There is an end game with them. Anyone who can't admit that is delusional or a liar. See "Michael Bloomberg" for details. Most NRA members (not the super hardcore nutjobs) that I know, privately will agree that some small amounts of legislation to make powerful weapons harder to get is not a bad thing, but they are never going to go along with ANY legislation because they feel like if they give in on ANYTHING, the libs will just ask for more the next day.
It's the same deal on the other side with abortion. Most reasonable liberals don't think aborting a baby a week before it is born is a good idea. But, if you allow ANY restrictions on abortion, the religious right loons will just ask for more and more. They have an end game too. So, they put up a total and complete firewall. Same as the NRA. And here we are....give an inch they will take a mile politics now rules the land and no sensible legislation can occur across a number of issues - abortion and guns being two of them.
If anyone has any good hookers info in Monterrey that won;t get me kidnapped by a cartel please PM me details. TIA.

Dumbass I know that. I was reporting what a news report said, which was "THE LVPD is reporting this is not terror related." Maybe it turns out it is terror related - Tim McVeigh style. But that's what they said a couple hours ago. Stop looking for any reason to get a dig in fucker.
This is absolutely terrorism. Remains to be seen whether or not it was political in nature.
It's terrorism, a once in a blue moon McVeigh type of event apparently, but Islamic terrorism is the primary problem in the world today. Because he's white, the left wing media will push the white supremacist narrative and try to blame Trump somehow.
No gun laws would have stopped this as he obviously had illegal automatic weapons. Curious to see how the media spins it. I hate when they make political statements out of dead people. They will blame someone or something.

Magazine capacity is a good start. The Brady Bill was a tremendously good idea. An AR-15 with a five round magazine isn't a lot of fun and a Glock with a 10 round magazine is hard to pull a Point Break with, but it stops the LA Bank Robbers from going to war with the entire police force with an hour with 250 round barrel magazines. It doesn't save Gabby Giffords, but that whacko doesn't have a 30 round magazine in his Glock that results in the mass spray into the parking lot that kills a 4 year old girl.
This guy in Vegas last night doesn't have multiple barrel mags to launch into a crowd. Think about this for a second; we sell to the masses that the bravest men this country have ever known landed on Omaha beach. Those people at that concert last night were up against the same firepower. Think about for a minute. Then realize it was just some random, local guy that had that kind of firepower and he got it over the counter. That can't continue to be a reality.
Brother of killer interviewed and he said that he knew of no religious or political affiliations his brother had. Guy was a fucking retirement community apartment complex manager for christ sakes. Maybe he did really just fucking snap...
"A young woman told a local NBC affiliate that another young woman told a group of people in the concert they were going to “die tonight” before supposedly being escorted from the conference roughly 45 minutes before the shooting happened."
