Don't be an asshole. More than 500 people have been hurt or lost lives. Now's not the time for cheap troll jokes.
Man it was crazy, I live by UNLV and there were alot people who took off towards there trying to escape it, calling their families and afraid to go back. Must have seen atleast 30 ambulances rushing to and from.

True Evil.....That's my first thought waking up to this news.
I am from Australia, and in the early 90's we also had the right to bear arms are could purchase automatic weapons easily with little/no restriction.
Then in the early 90's we had something called the "port Arthur massacre" - A guy loaded to the teeth with automatic weapons lets loose in a crowded sea of people. In the carnage he injured many & caught something like 30 - 40 bodies.
In response Australia declares a Total ban automatic weapons (with a 6 month amnesty to trade your guns to the Gov for cash) & tightens it's controls on gun licences.
We haven't had any problems even close since doing this.
Damn you guys have Canada next door as an example that this works......btw am i right that Canada is beside Detroit? It's insane to me
White Nut Gun Culture
Why? Why do you need a gun? Most crime in the U.S is concentrated in poor Black neighborhoods, yet very few Blacks own guns except the criminals. The gangbangers, drug dealers, etc...
Gun culture is rooted in Texas, South, rural Midwest, East and South. Many Whites own guns in these places, despite no logical reason to own one. Crime? Please! Worried about spooks, s, or White trash breaking into your home. Crime is virtually non existent in these places. If it happens, you won negative lottery.
Urban Whites, yuppies, Jews rarely own guns. The latter, because they’re smart.
You’re 40X more likely to be involved or be part of a suicide or homicide by owning a stupid gun in your house. When your girlfriend/wife or maladjusted kid goes into your closet and takes a firearm and uses it in a deadly fashion, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Guns For Re s.
Man you are one ed moron smh
Maybe he wanted to kill a bunch of rednecks. Think about it. If you wanted to take out a bunch of hillbillies or rednecks, this was an genius way of going about it. Sniping from a hotel window high above with automatic weapon with hundreds of renecks in sight down below at a country music concert.
I’m not condoning these actions, but whatever his motive was, this was one major coup.
Those stat's are crazy.....How long has it been now since collombine? or whatever it was.
How many examples do people need to see before America responds and follows the path of other countries (That clearly show banning auto and semi automatics + tightening licences works)
What other countries?
Well just look at Canada next door and my country.
There is more examples....it's an interesting subject/read honestly
What about the shooter on the 4th floor?
There is no argument for not having gun control. Has trump addressed your nation yet?
what happened? did apasolic start a new thread?
Trump hung up on our prime minister when he didn't like what he was hearing.
No one here supports him & the morning when the early/mid election results were in and he was ahead by a good way i still was able to get odds @ $3.40 here at crown.
It's like time stood still around the world for a few minutes once we all realised what was going to happen.
I'm really curious about this. Do you have often exemples of citizen defending themself successfully with guns?
I never see any news where It ends that way
I only see exemple of people getting a tons of weapon easily for mass murder and children killing by accident with their parent's gun
I don't know what the stats are of civilians stopping a mass shooting from occurring as it is hard to analysis. Obviously civilians have stopped crimes, robberies for example. Unsure if guns were used or not. Some are off duty cops. But civilians stopping a mass shooting whilst it is occurring is extremely rare. In the last 5 years in America there has been about 1500 mass shootings. The number that were stopped by civilians would be incredibly low.
Here in Australia we had 13 mass shootings between 79 and 96. Since the ban? Zero. Guns kill people. Pretty simple.

Nope. If the blood of twenty six 5 and 6 year olds at Sandy Hook didn’t do it, nothing will.
What kind of gun control?
Many of those mass shootings happen where guns aren't allowed. Like a movie theater people with ccw aren't allowed to take their firearms in so they just leave them in their vehicle or at home. Someone with bad intentions knows when they go into a places like that that there will no little to no resistance from anyone in there.
Sad but true! Bless those little souls! We should be ashamed if we continue to have let them died in vain!
there needs to be detectors or something of the sort for all public gathering locations.
I've only been in Texas twice and it was a total ing shock to me....i had no idea that kind of culture existed until then.
Try to hold out some hope....maybe not now with Trump .....unfortunately it will take more of these events to hopefully force the change.
As disgusting as this sounds....in the 50's or 60's you could purchase a licence to hunt aboriginal or Torres straight islanders (i.e guys like Patty) and shoot them down with no reprieve.
We also had something called "the stolen generation" where entire generations were separated from their families & put into camps.
Force what kind of change? A complete ban on firearms ?
