Las Vegas Strip - Deadliest Mass Shooting in US

[Topper]

The main reason nothing is going to happen is that too many Americans love their guns. They think guns are great. And they don't care quite as much what happens to other people as long as they get to have their gun toys.

Yeah, that's right. It's all about guns, not about mental illness, or society that is violence prone. None of that ever has anything to do with this. For a smart guy, you sure only know how to sing one note loudly.

That is crazy. How in the world do you get that many weapons into your room without attracting some kind of attention?

Golf bag?

What I'm saying is that the variable known as semiautomatic weapons and other variety of big gun should be controlled more easily.

Unfortunately, if you really want to do something about it, the needle will have to move against decent people like you. It is as much of a cultural impasse as it is a political one. Guns have to decrease, and regulations getting one have to become stricter. It will take at least a generation of stringent gun control laws before we see improvement, IMO.

There 357 Million guns in the States. You really believe those are going away any time soon?

This story may end up being a situation like John Birges and Harvey's in South Lake. It's looking like it may line up that way, sans any ransom attempt.

The Harvey's Resort Hotel bombing took place on August 26–27, 1980, when three men planted an elaborately booby trapped bomb containing 1,000 pounds (450*kg) of dynamite at Harvey's Resort Hotel (now "Harveys") in Stateline, Nevada, United States. The mastermind behind the bomb, former millionaire John Birges, was attempting to extort $3 million ($8.7 million today) from the casino, claiming he had lost $750,000 ($2.2 million today) gambling there.

He said it would take a generation of stringent enforcement.

Utah guns purchased by shooter in Vegas.

Maybe not surprising. He probably traveled all over building his arsenal:

That's going to happen.

Instead, you authoritarians who want the government to dictate every step of your life, should probably just wait it out. The percentage who enjoy hunting, shooting and responsible activities will probably decline with this do nothing Millennial generation to a point where they may hand them over.

I keep watching the first minute and one half and I still have no idea how to put one of those guns together.

Unfortunately, I agree with you.

At least a generation is an understatement. There are so many guns out there now - I'm not sure how long it would take to rein all of that in. And, in the meantime, the political climate would erupt as I have NO doubt that the law abiding folks would turn in their guns much more quickly than the criminals - with the potential for some pretty good violent crime jumps if there is any validity at all to the concept of citizen gun owner self-defense being a deterrent to would be criminals.
