Active shooter on Las Vegas strip.

[Zeta333]

I said in my post. Considering how much shots were being fired, his barrel would have melted. It could have been a "drum" with an LMG, but why not just use a belt? Much easier to reload from a fixed position.

Real life is not like call of duty. If you fire that many shots that quickly barrels overheat and literally melt. Thats why you see light machine gunners carrying around 1 to 2 extra barrels at a time. Changing a barrel on a M4 or AR15 is a lot harder to do.

he fired maby 300-400. His barrel would not have melted.

I'm talking about black market illegal weapons, I was never talking about legal weapons. Just because you changed the topic doesn't mean that is the current topic.

I didn't change the topic, you are doing that right now. The topic was "being able to buy a gun in Indiana and go back to Chicago", the whole point of going to Indiana was because of the lack of gun control there and you can just buy one.

That means, no black market at all, no real smuggling, so no real comparison because they aren't even remotely the same.. Jeez, and im the one with a narrative here, lol.

I' m guessing you don't recognize the irony of your comment.

I'm guessing you have either a poor grasp of irony or love guns too much.

[deadman1]

I can't help that you can't face the truth, the only one here with a narrative is you with your gun horny ways.

Honestly tell me how me as a private citizen is supposed to sway the minds of 150 Million people.

Answer that question.

The best part is you don't even know my opinion on guns, you didn't even bother to understand the person you were talking to before you accused them of being guilty by association for a mass shooting just because they live in the same country. You're so stricken with your agenda that you can't even tell that you're talking to a living breathing human right now, you're just ranting at a screen with your single minded opinion instead of trying to have a civil conversation. It's sad.

He had 8 guns.

There is a big difference between Hunting for population control and hunting for sport. Population control is done by specialists like police officers.

Police doesn't do regular hunting. Sure, they can take down a bear that has came to downtown, but regular culling is left for regular huntsmen.

I'm not sure I do agree. The people who are trying to blame the victims or the country are no different than those who wnt to blame the victims or the country when this happens in Europe.

That is exactly my point though.

[Themius]

Let us be realistic here. Guns will most likely never be restricted or banned in the U.S. Easy access to guns is the symbol of freedom for many Americans. Any ideas of restricting or banning it is, as I said, met with fierce resistance and insistence that if everyone had a gun that whatever bad situation that happened, would not have happened.
I am aware that not every American is pro-guns and wish a bigger % of the population would open its eyes and get something done.

Most people do want restrictions

You blame the other guy for having a narrative... all whilst pushing your own narrative.

I guess you still don't see it.

You called the guy a sick fuck, then in a following sentence, you said you kinda agreed with the people who make comments about attacks in Europe. You had me confused.

[Doctor Amadeus]

So your argument is that you want to keep your guns for hunting to control the population?

Do you honestly believe this is your sole reason for defending owning guns?

your argument is getting smaller and smaller until you get in a small box that you refuse to leave.

Well let me help you out here ok. I'm not a gun nut and I'm not going to make a BS argument.

So here it goes, I'm an American citizen, I obey the law, pay taxes and legally own and carry.

I want my gun b cause I can, it's my right under the constitution and I'm not going to give any of them up because I don't want to.

How's that. I don't need a reason either and don't need to justify that because of the actions of a few.

No it wasn't the conversation was predicated on the hypothetical scenario that guns were banned in the USA. FFS mate, get your shit together, you can't even remember a conversation that you willfully took part in less than an hour ago.

so your telling me if we banned guns in america people would be able to smuggle them in from places next door?

Because "smuggling" a weapon from Indiana to Chicago is the same thing as smuggling weapons from Mexico?

[Machismo]

He had 8 guns.

Can you point to where that was sourced? I haven't yet seen a total gun count. I did see a report of multiple, but not an exact number.

[Somewhatconcerned]

PHEW we dodged a bullet, it was just a white male shooter, i was worreid had this been any person of color it would be trumps equivelent to the reichstag fire, although not perpetrated by his own party like that fire, it would still be an event which would cement so much hatred and fear towards colored people that trump would basically become a de facto dictator, lets hope that within the next 3 years he dosent get a similar moment thats what all of us are praying for.

Sadly, this exact scenario is a wet dream to many in these boards and many in this country.

Well I mean it's the benefit of being on the internet on a forum such as this. The anonymity means people are allowed to act however they want and treat everyone else as subhumans and face no consequence because they are the sole experts of everything you could ever want to debate with countless certifications to justify their stance and expertise.

Nobody says gun control will stop homicide for good. But it will make it a lot less frequent. A lot. Homicide rates: USA 4.8, France 1.0, Germany 0.6, Japan 0.3, Liechtenstein 0.0. Look at these numbers and tell me that having five to ten times the homicide rates of comparable countries is no big deal.

You can't say "i care for the victims" and " i support guns for everyone". If you do, you're a hypocrite. Anyone that really cares knows there is a problem.

Our problem is population and poverty. Guns don't drive people to murder.

think there were police reports about there being several guns positioned differently to cover a large area.

This is the consequence of lax gun laws, and Amaricas love affair with guns. This well keep happening here until people change their minds on the NRA and having common sense gun control laws like universal background checks. I’m not really surprised or upset anymore by these events, it’s become so common place.

He either bought it off the black market or had to go through the ATF for license and registration of the weapon he used. Automatic weapons are already banned in the US.

[TriHard]

So..Another shooting in NA?
What's new?

Considering nothing happened after Sandy Hook. One wonders what it'll actually take.

[Toppy]

just for the sake of me knowing, is semi-automatic considered automatic?

Do you need a semi-automatic weapon for sport?

Same rules as automatic: only used for killing people.

Nope, they just make it exponentially easier to commit murder, mass murder, and acts of terror.

Stop pretending like the instruments used to commit murder aren't part of the equation.
