I reckon it's more likely that he was someone with a screw loose but time will reveal all. Of course some would say you'd have to have a lot of screws loose to be influenced by IS.

I'll explain

I have a soon to be ex-friend on facebook, who says Guns protect againts guns. I'm going to say to her, so the 500+ people who where killed/shot at are to blame as they weren't armed to protect themselves then?

Assult rifles have one and only one purpose, and that is to kill, and that is on a battlefield, and has no place for non-military purpose.

Why isn't it being treated as a terrorist attack, is it beacuse he is white?0

We need to ban any NRA members from entry into the UK and treat the NRA as a terrorist group.

I would fell safer walking in NK with a US flag on my back with death to Kim, than going to the US ATM.

Really?

the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
What the reason you cant make anymore of a political statement than shooting battlefield weaopns at people.

Re: Las Vegas: Mass shooting in Mandalay Bay

some people are saying he recently converted to Islam.

I guess this is from NRA nuts.

(1) Any building or infrastructure, communications, transportaion, utilities or services; or
(2) Any natural resource or the environment.
2. As used in this section, "coercion" does not include an act of civil disobedience.

I can find a whole bunch of righty sources that have labelled him a Bernie-Bro, Democrat, who hated 'rednecks' so shot up a country musical festivals. One that have said he was a member of ANTIFA and others which labelled the wrong man as the shooter and piled onto his facebook. This is way after the attack.

People on the internet are trolls.

Why is a political statement? The school shootings aren't labelled as such.

We just have to wait and see what, if any, reason he had.

Classy, politically correct point scoring whilst they're still clearing the bodies of the street, shame it's just their tweets that disappeared quietly and not them

Re: Las Vegas: Mass shooting in Mandalay Bay

He was a multimillionaire, so a little matter of gun laws wouldn't have stopped him.

They can't un-invent guns so they will still be out there.

A key difference with the UK is that we have never really had that much of a gun culture in the past. Evidence of that is that the UK is one of the few countries where Police officers don't routinely have firearms.

Using the label of "Terrorism" is complete and utter ... nonsense. Terrorism is more about the threat of FUTURE violence, if a particular aim isn't followed. A one-off "Terrorist" act without a shared aim would be meaningless. The only "Terrorist" aim he could have had is the introduction of new gun laws. How would the anti-gun lobby react to that?

Re: Las Vegas: Mass shooting in Mandalay Bay

Mick's point on why assault rifles (or any rapid fire variant) are not banned is the real issue here. Banning all guns is bridge too far for enough Americans that make or influence policy but there cannot be any rational defence of wanting to own such weapons.

What would be educational is a live televised Senate/Congressional hearing where the NRA lobbyists and NRA-supporting Senators & Congressmen are shown first hand footage of their constituents being killed & maimed and then being asked to justify the need for such weapons.

The relatives of the dead should also be invited to attend ..

Also, a point to ponder:

Quote:
Number of Americans killed on battlefields in all wars in history:

1,396,733

Killed by firearms in the US since 1968:

1,516,863

Re: Las Vegas: Mass shooting in Mandalay Bay

Leaving out personal attacks and accidents, I wonder how many of the killers would be described as Democrats and how many as Republicans?
