You need a license.

As true as that may be.... people are going to obtain illegal guns. Automatic or not.

From what I'm hearing, kudos to the swat team. 

If this does not create stricter federal gun controls or bans then congress/americans are fucking nuts.

I'm just curious as to his motivation, 64 year old white dude living in a retirement home outside Vegas. Doesn't exactly fit the average shooting spree bill unless I'm mistaken.

Edit: the fact that I used the phrase "average shooting spree bill" is fucking sad.

Would be nice if it were unbelievable, but this shit happens every year multiple times a year, decade after decade.

My 1984 H.S. yearbook had a two page spread of stories that happened that year. They had a picture of the first artificial heart guy, picture of Reagan's dealings that year, AND they had in it a picture of the San Ysidro McDonalds where a mentally ill man named James Huberty murdered 21. Sad that a yearbook as a picture of a massacre in it. Sad that even after that, IN 1984 and still nothing gets done.

I am getting tired of the right claiming to give one shit, they don't even want to do shit when a democrat shoots senators. The last time the GOP gave a shit was when Reagan and Brady got shot. 

The problem isn't motive. . The problem has always been the factories paying off the NRA and the GOP to scare the shit out of the public to protect profits.

It is unfortunately very  believable because the factories make firearms like skittles and hand them out like candy.l

I woke up to this news. I wish I could say I'm shocked, but this horror seems to be our new normal.

So, so sad.

Tragic. I'd be willing to bet the last time America saw this many gun deaths on one day, there was a battle involved.

That won't happen with the current allocation of political power.
