    You ever hear a fully auto being fired? Apparently not. All you have to do is to listen to the videos of the gun rattling out its rounds. Fully auto. With a semi, even if you pulled the trigger as fast as you can, it never sounds like an auto.

    So go and witness it yourself, on the video I post when I started this thread.

    Trump has said nothing that you can blame him to this shooting

    But there is a lot of hate filled words coming from liberals in America many in high places

    And lies

    I noticed another story about las vegas yesterday

    It seems that nfl football player and black power fist pumping michael bennet is a damn liar when it comes to racist white police pickin' on poor ole black people

    We will soon know

    If the guy was motivated by conseratism it will be the leading news story for months

    If it turns out he is a hillary voter we will know by the silence in the liberal news media

    More rubbish from the clueless left.

    The right to own guns, when written, was done with the knowledge criminals and crazy people would abuse the right. But 99.999 percent of americans would not abuse it. That has not changed. If you stripped away a right each time some nut, some criminal abused it, you would not even be able to post on this forum or open your mouth outside of your home. You may as well be in some Gulag somewhere.

    Those country music tramps! I'm sure they deserved it. /irony

    What's wrong with those people, i.e. shooters? If the gunman wasn't a Muslim, what's wrong with attending a country music concert?

    A price you are willing to pay for arming civilians, the gunman very probably had no connection with any terrorist group. The NRA is now preparing their propaganda defence on selling more firearms to the public. If America had a massacre of this proportion every week it would have little or no effect on the attitudes of the gun nuts.

    Why should Isis bother when Americans are doing the job for them.

    Admittedly most anti-gun liberals don't know the difference between full auto and an "automatic shotgun", but from the video, it appears the shooter was using full auto. Possibly an AK.

    It is utterly irrelevant as to which side of the aisle he voted for!

    This is yet another bloody mass sacrifice on the High Alter of the NRA Gun Culture of Death!

    How many more innocent Americans must die before the bloodlust of the NRA Gun Culture is satiated?

    When will We the People say enough to 30 round magazines and guns that easily be converted to fully automatic fire?

    The screams of "lone wolf" sound hollow when 50+ lie dead in the streets for no better reason than they wanted to attend a concert.

    Would anyone with a CC permit been able to shoot the killer on the 32nd floor?

    Would it have made one iota of difference if every single one of those victims were armed to the teeth?

    The NRA Gun Culture of Death will OBSTRUCT any attempt to pass legislation that might prevent this from occurring again because that is what they ALWAYS do when this happens.

    The media doesn't even bother to report mass shootings of less than double figures any longer because they have become commonplace under the malevolent NRA Gun Culture of Death.

    This was an act of DOMESTIC TERRORISM and it was Aided and Abetted by the NRA Gun Culture of Death.

    Bush senior renounced his membership of the NRA Gun Culture of Death for a good reason.

    Time for Americans to call for an end to the NRA Gun Culture of Death once and for all.

    Otherwise this is going to happen again...and again...and again...and again...

    Well said and agreed. By the same logic as the anti-gun Left, we should ban computers to stop cyber bullying.

    Looking at person who did the killing, Stephen Paddock and what we know, I can come up with some early ideas on why he did this:

    ---He was old and may have some terminal health issues, and wanted to go out in a blaze.

    ---He committed suicide with a recently purchased handgun just before the cops blasted his door open to get him. So a cowardly person.

    ---He was a mulitculturalist, and had an Asian girlfriend and/or common law wife, and was recently divorced from another wife.

    ----He tried to sue a local casino, but settled out of court. He was also a gambler, likely to have lost thousands playing.

    ----His victims were mostly White C&W music fans.

    >>>> So, his motive was a combination of a revenge killing against the Las Vegas gaming/tourist industry, of being a Leftist anti-White fanatic, and likely depression over a terminal illness. <<<<

    For all practical purposes, they are illegal, UNLESS you are a licensed fire arms dealer. You nor I can buy one. Which makes my statement true, for regular americans. I knew a dealer back in the late 80s who had one fully auto. But he could never sell it to me, a non dealer. So, not sure what the point is to being a dealer, and not being able to sell to regular customers. Unless it is for foreign sales. Probably is.

    So if this guy is not a dealer, he broke federal law. Of course on some weapons, there is a way to go fully auto with them with the machining and parts. But that is illegal too.

    "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!"

    I wish I had a dollar for every time that old saying has been recited -- and it is as true now as the first time it was ever spoken.... :deadhorse:

    But as a free citizen, you don't have to be able to defend yourself... no, if you have some kind of problem with a criminal, you can always CALL 911... :roflol: ... and WAIT, and WAIT, and WAIT, and WAIT....

    [​IMG]. "I'll call 911 for ya. They can come get your body tomorrow, maybe...."

    Motive and/or political affiliation and/or religion and/or mental issues and/or whatever else you want to come up is IRRELEVANT!

    The KILLING is happening because of the NRA Gun Culture of Death!

    Time to shut down the NRA Gun Culture of Death BEFORE anyone else is SACRIFICED on their blood soaked high alter!

    Translation, the gun made him do it. Do you realize this was done with a gun registered with the federal govt? Something the gun grabbers think will stop this sort of thing.

    My brother owns an arsenal, different riflles, shot guns, hand arms. And he isn't a gun nut loon, if that means a person who opens up on people for shits and giggles, or mental illness.

    I own one 1911 Colt 45, to kill anyone who is foolish enough to barge into my home. I have shot it all of my life and never miss my target. I became acquainted with this firearm in 1968, while in the military. I love it. Does this make me a loon, this old 70 something FDR kinda of extinct democrat. Democrats used to have more sense when it comes to the 2nd amendment. Before the lunacy of modern liberal/progressives corrupted both ideologies. And turned them into fascists.

    He was a gun dealer? Or did he have one that could be converted to auto, illegally?
