Seems legit.PineapplePirate said:"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."

It's possible he had them legally, either by license or more likely, he could have fitted the gun(s) with bump fire stock(s), which are completely legal. These are inexpensive stocks that float, using recoil to allow for very rapid semi-automatic fire, nearly as rapid as fully automatic rifles fire. If you listen to the video footage, the rate of fire seems to vary quite a bit. This would be consistent with a semi-automatic rifle being fired with a bump fire stock.PineapplePirate said: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.
But who knows, maybe he illegally modified the rifles or bought fully automatic weapons illegally. Really doesn't matter now, the fucker killed and maimed a lot of people. Apparently the sick fuck had at least ten rifles in his room, and he killed himself before before being shot or apprehended. Total coward. No doubt this was an act of terrorism. There is no other way to accurately describe it. Only question is whether it was domestic or foreign in nature.
@Swaye, excellent poast on both the gun control and abortion issues. Spot on, reasonableness in politics is gone. -
The big question... is Mark Wahlberg going to star in the film?

By all chindications, it's domestic. The shooter was a 64 year old white guy from Mesquite, NV.Southerndawg said:

Agree, it's not likely he was a last minute convert to the religion of peace making a pact with the ISIS AIDS. Card carrying AntiFa member seems a strong runner up, given the crowd he chose to take aim at. Or he could be another Bernie supporter shooting at "Republicans" on the field. Most likely he was just straight up whack job, which in this case is redundant abundance.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

There are 300 million guns in house holds in the U.S.
I am not sure what more regulations is going to do to solve mass shootings.
Unfortunately, they will continue.
I just hope we don't find out Race or Damone is Mr. Paddock. Two Angry old white men. -

They would expose us all and wouldn't see our humor, take every poast at face value and then shut this site down. All of us would have internet privlages revoked and we would be sued by all political parties, milennials, and by starving Africans in Bolivia.jecornel said:There are 300 million guns in house holds in the U.S.

@oregonblitzkrieg Also, I think that angry white guys are still on top of the league table for terrorism since 9/11.

Obviously 9/11 was the black swan event.
EDIT: looks like Orlando put jihadists back in the top slot, but I think Vegas is going to give the edge back to the angry white guys.
