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.

Terrible news
I wonder if that shooter was on a terrorist watch list ?

[SASKFARMER3]

And you guys say Cabo is so bad.

Pisses me off that idiots don't get what they deserve.

Oh yea its the USA he's gone.

Idiot in Edmonton and Selfie boy is saying we need to be understanding.

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.

Concerts are targets for crackers for sure, going to be hard to sell tickets.

Just wait until the anti social youth who hide behind their gaming screens start living out their "normalized violent make belief fantasies".

If you judge a society by the TV shows, Movies, and now video games they currently produce for the masses.....I'd say society slipped down afew notches. So are those forms of "entertainment" a reflection of society?

So do you think Stephen Paddock who was 64 years was a gamer, or just an angry old white guy?


No use making predictions on something none of us know anything about! Nut jobs come in all forms and colors!

[furrowtickler]

There is no doubt U.S. gun laws are far too lax in some States .
Sickening to see at an open air concert , a Harvest Festival to boot .
This guys "partner" was questioned but one would think she knew exactly what happened and what was going to happen.

[sumdumguy]

Kinda thinking it may not have been him. Something doesn't sit right with me (64 year old grampa with new girlfriend). There are going to be a lot of questions - girlfriend, video surveillance of that hallway, arsenal of weapons, accomplices, hotel staff, new friends? I know you guys are thinking Sumdum is a conspiracy theorist but it just doesn't make sense if you look at the pictures of the guy.
