Another tragic event. Sucks that these are becoming more and more regular. Heart goes out to anyone involved or has loved ones affected.
I'm supposed to go to Vegas this weekend...for a concert. So there's that.
Coward killed himself, because he was a pussy.

Absolutely. What a horrible act.
This may be one of the most frustrating times to be a human. Technology has enabled us to record, share, and communicate in real time across the world for the first time in our species existence. It’s made it possible for us to feel like we are one species but the immediate trend to this reality is for humans to hold tighter to the value we place on arbitrary man made concepts like nationality, race, religion, money, and class. I don’t know what motivated this man to take the lives of so many people but I’m sure it was a construct of humanity.
I pray that some day our species will look around and realize we have no excuse for there being no peace, no utopia, no baseline to lift up the best of our species regardless of race, gender, or nationality. We humans have no species oppressing us, no species introducing elements to destabilize peace amongst ourselves. Unfortunately members of our species choose hate, greed, and the worst humanity has to offer.
Someday we will achieve peace for our entire species though I’m afraid it won’t come for several more generations. Until then we’re stuck trading our most valuable resource, time, for worthless green paper.

I'm 100% sure laws will be written from this.
The weapon he used was already illegal. Where there's a will...
Paddock, according to public records, had a hunting license and a pilot's license. It is unclear whether all of the guns were registered in his name. Nevada is an open-carry state, where machine guns and concealed weapons are legal.
machine guns ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????
I guess I am against people having machine guns but other guns are ok
and nothing wrong with open carry
in az you have to be 18 to open care concealed 21

Death by white males continues to be the biggest threat to America. Sad.
Please don't make this about race man! This is a tragic event. IDC what color they was. Innocent civilians died. Could've been anyone
ummmm one city has 2780 deaths and most are black killing blacks but go ahead and play the racecard liberal
"Don't make this about race" is never said until the terrorist is white. Usual spin by cacs
Las Vegas shooting: Are machine guns, rifles legal in the US?
Fox News
Police officers advise people to take cover near the scene of the mass shooting near the Mandalay Bay resort and casino on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday, Oct. 1.

A gunman perched high above thousands of concertgoers in Las Vegas killed at least 50 people and injured more than 400 when he rained down gunfire on the crowd Sunday night.
Police said 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, the suspected gunman, stocked his Las Vegas hotel room with as many as 10 rifles. Paddock fired from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay casino-hotel tower on the Las Vegas Strip on some 22,000 people attending the outdoor Route 91 Harvest Music Festival, authorities said.
Paddock killed himself prior to law enforcement officials entering the hotel room, police said. A motive for the massacre has not yet been revealed.
Witnesses described the sound of rapid automatic gunfire – which many believed to be firecrackers – ringing out as thousands ran for cover. One vendor told Fox News that “it sounded like a machine gun.”
Here’s what the federal and Nevada state laws say about machine guns and rifles.
U.S. laws
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives defines a rifle as “a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger.”
The ATF defines a machine gun as: “Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.”
FULL COVERAGE OF LAS VEGAS MASSACRE
Enacted in 1934, the National Firearms Act imposed taxes and regulations on certain firearms. A 1986 amendment prohibited the transfer or possession of machine guns made after 1986 – with government agencies an exception.
The law also regulates the possession of rifles with a barrel of less than 16 inches in length or shotguns with a barrel of less than 18 inches.
Nevada laws
Nevadans are allowed to purchase, possess or sell a machine gun as long as it is legally registered and complies with federal regulations, according to the lobbying arm of the National Rifle Association.
The NRA’s Ins ute for Legislative Action said the state does not require a permit to purchase or possess a rifle, shotgun or handgun.

What I've seen is that "machine gun fire" rained down. Machine guns are illegal.
Fox news says machine guns are legal in Nevada.
I think they're legal in many states as long as you get the right license. I'm sure they're legal in Texas.
No one man should be able to kill around 60 people and injure 500 people. I'm for guns. Just need to regulate them more.
^ that being said, it's not incredibly difficult to convert a semi auto to fully auto.
at this point, if americans cant tell guns have something to do with this, then what will?
also, what does it say about the united states, where in every other country this size of tragedy is a terrorist attack perpetrated by indoctrinated fanatics looking to avenge a real or perceived injury, while in the US more often than not it happens because the mental health of the country is so bad and despite the super military police and big brother surveillance the government has no power to control the crazies. I live in Chile, we have crazies and criminals and junkies you name it. A couple of months ago there was a big scandal, a doggy vet went psycho and shot up a casino and killed himself. 2 people dead, 4 injured. of course, he didnt have the arsenal this guy in vegas or that guy in aurora or the guy in sandy hook or...
no one should kill one person but people do and people do with other things then guns
if people want this to stop they need to start excuting murders with guns since drugs are to hard to come by now
Yes you can. But you can kill exponentially more with machine guns.
