Not your average grandpa.

Wondering why this incident is not considered a terrorist attack? Istead it is just a mass shooting.

Also wondering if all of you who call for expulsion of Muslims after every attack, even if the perps is/was American citizens will now call for removal of all gun owning retired white guys. Oh wait, then Trump and most republicans would be gone.

Silence from the NRA. Why private citizens need automatic weapons.

No certainty of terrorist affiliation domestic or international. However his companion holds an Australian passport but is Indonesian. Possible new convert to the peaceful religion.

There will be dramatic changes in Vegas. There are no security checkpoints , no check of baggage. Anyone can walk in anywhere with a weapon. When you have that may people in one place something bad is going to happen. Add to this the lax gun laws.

Silence from the NRA. Why private citizens need automatic weapons.

The NRA is a shameful organization representing the gun manufacturers who's sole purpose is to sell more guns to Americans in the false belief that it will make them safer. No screening or criminal record checks in many states or gun shows. It's about profit not freedom.

What could go wrong with giving every nutcase easy access to semi automatic and automatic assault rifles?

About 27 gun homicides per day, 10,000 per year.
