If Trump allows any new gun control he is absolutely done. No second term.

I avoid soft targets whenever possible. This was like fish in a barrel. Tragic. I despise crowds to begin with but a crowd surrounded by high rise buildings? No way I would be there. What a world....

Cameras will show many trips. It looks more normal when moving all that stuff in.

Yeah, I see that. I was picturing someone walking in with ten rifle cases. Sounds like he had this all planned out. Sick.
I feel like it was a bump fire stock

True, but do people really bring ten rifles to training? Honest question - I have no idea. Just doesn't seem like an ordinary thing to do.

Let's be real for a minute, Trump isn't getting a second term no matter what he does here.
That is the scary thing because then Trump will really do whatever he feels like.
Not to be too tin-foil hat paranoid here but the Antis could very well stage another couple of shootings in short order and pressure our politicians into doing some massive gun control push. Trump has shown he's liable to cave and support it... he could even push for it.
It's their best opportunity since Newtown and they've probably got a plan already in place.
Regardless the media is going to be on this non-stop for the next month, a million tragic human interest stories and their usual narrative.

I don't believe it was bump or binary trigger. Full auto; whether converted illegally or not. Sad dems are already calling for gun control but not surprising. Why waste a tragedy before we know what happened? For all we know he stole the guns from a police armory. Who knows; point is bad lawmakers jump to conclusions.

No they don't. Maybe a primary and a back up.
Seriously? So people are in favor of the Antifa/BLM/NFL kneeling supporting Dems? lol... Not seeing it..
At this point, regardless why this wack job did it, we are living in changed times for our country. Bigger and bolder shooter attempts are being made and they are being made where people are traditionally more helpless. This was a well thought out attempt by the assailant. From room planning/location to firearm type to his end game.

and let’s be real here Trump will never win the primary let alone beat Hillary.
Nah. American anarchists and nut jobs killed dozens of people through out our history. Bombings at the turn of the century killed hundreds, arsonists killed thousands. Negros in WWII blew up ships and sabotaged stuff, John Brown was the equivalent to an ISIS terrorist before the Civil War. Oh yeah that... 600,000 dead.
General McArthur killed hundreds of WW1 veterans protesting for benefits. Imagine the outrage if that happened now?
We're actually at the most peaceful time per capita since the founding... we have 330 million people, 0.000001% are maniacs. Historically it's always been worse.
Of course this event needs to be reported but we have a yellow press that will amplify anything that reinforces their agenda and this fits perfectly. At least until it's confirmed he's Muslim, then watch the story drop or facts be ignored.
YMMV on the veracity of ISIS or whether ISIS figures "Why not take credit?" (4GW).

I watched a bunch of the videos, and I could not see flashes from his room, - maybe others can? I'm guessing that other hotel guests were calling it in to security or 911, and that is probably what led the police to his room as soon as they did. And that leads me to ask this question: I read somewhere that the hotel was a "gun free zone". Does anyone know for sure if that's true or not?
But it seems to me that an argument could be made that one or more CCW holders "might" have been able to help in this circumstance before the cops got there. Not necessarily a great option, but then again, if you were well armed and a couple of doors away, you might have been able to put some rounds thru the walls into his room, and maybe get lucky, and injure him or slow him down? Just a thought.
I'm not blaming the cops for taking 10 minutes to get in there. I'm just asking the question, if we could make the case that some armed CCW holders could have helped. Is it a valid argument to make in what will undoubtedly be a massive push by the anti gunners that has already started?
Curious what others might think about this.

May sound cold, but I will not be crying. No more than the crying that I do for the dozens everyday that are slain in America every day.
We have a serious violence problem in the US. Our political elite are afraid to take on this problem. We do not have a gun issue, we have a violence and a mental health issue. They do not want to address what is really wrong. He have so much pent up hate, and the will not face that head on!

You could easily use a hard shell golf bag travel case and fit right in. People travel to Vegas with golf clubs all the time. Even a suit bag would blend right in as well. He was there since the 28th and lived in the area. Make a couple trips, easy as pie.
First reports are often wrong but, if that hold true then that would cut the "disgruntled vet or PTSD" out of the equation. I have not heard a lot on this story today.

So some guy kills 50 people and we punish an entire nation, a government kills "millions" of it's citizens and it's legitimate.
Screw the complicit media whores.

Some people here see it that way and would rather the left have power due to their hatred for Trump.

Too much money in prescription drugs. Plus the ultimate goal is European style gun laws from both parties. As evidence, where is your reciprocity? We own both houses and the White House. This could have passed in days.

THIS is the only thing that makes any sense at all. If it is even true.

THIS IS IT, FRIENDS.
The ALT-LEFT has just had the Windfall they have been praying for.
If you think they got mileage out of Timothy McVeigh, you ain't seen nothing yet.
How'd you like to be the poor sap who is applying or is under consideration for a FIREARM LICENSE right now ?
Fixed.
