But it sounds like the shooter was white, probably some Neo Nazi RT winger, so it will be Trumps fault And let's ban all guns esp. Semi automatic ones will be the cry from the left. I can hear it now. |

What kind of ammo was the guy using - lots of damage for being so far away.
Pretty sick.
Not sure why we can't send these guys that want to kill a bunch of people - drop them into the middle of an ISIS stronghold - and let them shoot to their hearts content. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

More details to come I'm sure. I read he did have a criminal record so probably not legal for him to have the guns. Also hearing that his wife was Indonesian which may or may not play a roll in this. Horrible, horrible news. I feel sick. |

Apparently not a neo-Nazi, nor did he have a criminal record. _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

I watched some video (didn't want to really) and this is definitely a full-auto machine gun, 99% chance it was completely illegal as they have been outlawed for manufacture since the early 80s and very difficult to get a license for an existing one (though possible). It sounded like Vietnam footage, absolutely horrible. God help our country. |

I have just watched a video of a guy - in the midst of folks hunkering down during the shooting....standing straight up middle finger extended on one hand towards the hotel - beer in the other drinking from time to time - shouting _____ you.
I am stunned at his lack of fear of death. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

In my experience, alcohol and wisdom do not generally go together. |

weird that I was thinking just Saturday how bad shooting into a crowd would be |

Saturday, I was in downtown Raleigh at the bluegrass festival in a very large crowd. I happened to look on top of one of the buildings and see a rectangular shape with something projecting up from it. (I assumed it was mechanical equipment of some sort.) The thought came to me, "What if someone started shooting into the crowd from a position on top of the building?"
I can't imagine how horrible it was in Las Vegas. Prayers and thoughts for those affected. |

This guy doesn't seem to fit a mold. Mid sixties, crazy. I do not see how this could have been prevented. I have often wondered how the Secret service can check every room on high buildings to protect the president.
I was on the first floor of an apartment complex in Arlington, VA when a guy on the third floor was running from window to window firing a handgun at anything that moved below. He hit no one. He had a brain tumor and the medics decided he did not know what he was doing. This DUDE KNEW what he was doing! Shame anywhere, even Vegas. I am praying for the survival of the wounded and for the families who received the WORST of the news. _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

How so?
What's wrong with having an Indonesian wife?
I thought he was living with a girlfriend. _________________ Link |

Nothing, unless she's muslim and radical. She's still being called a "person of interest", so we still don't know what role she may have played. She apparently lead a double life with 2 husbands or boyfriends in 2 states and 2 social security numbers (according to today's news, so this is changing by the hour, hence the first post I made was within an hour of the first major reports on Monday morning). The sheriff today in a press conference mentioned that "we don't know if he's been radicalized".
I thought he was living with a girlfriend.
Yep, 2 days later as facts are clearer, that's true, she's his girlfriend. |

I am sure many of us are holding our breath. I hope it had some foreign influence and not like McVey, just a home grown terrorist. It makes me sick to think of a wealthy American being that radical.
I say wealthy because you cannot bet 5 & 6 figures without something to back it up. The room he was in would have knocked my income for a loop. I understand he wired 100K to the islands the day before the shootings. I hate the though of an AMERICAN, not destitute, and citizen of the USA plotting and planning that. _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

It looks like he left a note on a table - I am sure that will help understand his motives.
Maybe too many late night comedians made him hate America.
Maybe he wanted Jodie Foster to notice him.
