More than 20 people killed and 100+ injured...................WTF!

The shooter was a local resident.

Horrific incident.

How long before the NRA recommends that "if only we had more concert goers armed, we could have taken him out"

So many high powered weapons in the hands of civilians.

Sick. Demented shooter, easy access to military grade guns... sick.

may the innocent rest in peace

Vile, cowardly sniper style shooting. He was in the 32nd floor of a hotel room - aiming down at 30,000 concert attendees that were in a massive parking lot concert below.

Sick.



'Like shooting fish in a barrel

Audio of the shooting suggested that the shooter had used a military-style weapon, CNN law enforcement analyst James Gagliano said.

"Automatic weapon(s) like that -- had to be numbers of magazines or a very large drum, it sounded to me like a belt-fed weapon, a military-style weapon and then to be shooting down, to use the analogy, it was like shooting fish in a barrel in that space," Gagliano said.

Man, Gun control can't stop it... your point is valid, but it makes it that much more difficult.

I am not on the fence at all. Too much ammo. Too much guns. You can walk into malls in the south and buy weapons by the cart.

There is balance and then there is unhinged access that ENABLES these senseless vile incidents.

Too much ammunition is in the USA general public. Literally 1000s of rounds of ammo in civilian homes... I have tenants in Georgia... Not uncommon to find a home with 9 - 12 guns and countless ammo.

By that reasoning a society could then allow the sale of any weapon. But clearly we draw a line at someone purchasing a bomb.

All I am saying is we need to draw another line that disallows weapons that are capable of killing so many people so quickly from being legally purchased.

To be honest, I don't see a solid legal theory for lawsuits against anyone but the gun's manufacturer. For example, automatic weapons are illegal in the US. If the gunman purchased a semi-automatic weapon and illegally converted it to an automatic weapon, the manufacture might face legal liability if there is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to make the weapon so that it cannot be converted from semi-automatic to automatic.

You see those who raise these foolish reasoning as you have demonstrated.

Jesus did not end slavery. Why? He also did not end injustice. Why? He himself was unjustly killed. Why? If he came to end all injustices why did he and his father allow injustice to prevail in his death?

Funny how all the intellectuals and so-called enlightened keep focusing on the unimportant while claiming how everyone else is wrong and they are right. There continues to be this narrative that it is this group and that group. Just point fingers. it's the Blacks, it's the Whites, it's the Rich, it's the poor, it's the Politics, it's the Religion, it's the uneducated, it's the foreigners it's the Liberals, it's the conservatives, it's the illuminati, it's the rulers and on and on....

And all the while they all continue to prop themselves up based on fear! Fox news, CNN, Whites, Blacks, Foreigners, All of them use fear to make as much money and gain as much power as possible! You think they care? They don't! Greed and Selfish longings are at the root of it all. And while they continue pursuing their selfish dreams their God, the God of this system keeps laughing. You know, the original fake news Anchor... He who continues to blind the minds of the majority. The original mass murderer!

Notice that as this World comes closer to it's end his subjects are becoming and displaying his personality o a greater degree.

@ Corinthians 4:4...Among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.
6 For God is the one who said: “Let the light shine out of darkness,” and he has shone on our hearts to illuminate them+ with the glorious knowledge of God by the face of Christ.


2Peter 3:15-18...15 Furthermore, consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you according to the wisdom given him,+ 16 speaking about these things as he does in all his letters. However, some things in them are hard to understand, and these things the ignorant* and unstable are twisting, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 You, therefore, beloved ones, having this advance knowledge, be on your guard so that you may not be led astray with them by the error of the lawless people and fall from your own steadfastness.*+ 18 No, but go on growing in the undeserved kindness and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
