Mass shooting in Las Vegas. 50+ dead

[Crossless2.0]

How is ANY of this about religion, and not about the obvious need for gun control?

Here's the problem-- when a guy is "sane," he collects enough weapons for a fucking army.  Then he goes off, and he's still got the guns.  So he rains down death on a crowd of civilians.  And I should point out that gun control and mental health care are not exclusive-- only a moron would make those a dilemma: "Should we control weapons OR help sick people get better?"

I agree. Both mental health and gun control need worked on. It's our best chance at preventing these sorts of things.

I agree too. But neither will happen because there's never enough money for one and way too much money for (and from) the other.

Just asking; do we know what the motive was yet?

No. But his brother said he had no religious or political affiliation.

His brother also said he wasn't a gun enthusiast. I question whether or not his brother knew him well enough to assert this.

Question: Are you aware of the Christian Identity movement? Because those particular Christians are responsible for plenty of death.

The hard right like to use Chicago because of it's connection to Obama. The actual numbers should speak for themselves.

If he had all of these guns I'd like to know where he went to practice and learn proficiency with each one of them. It's not like you can just buy one of the shelf, lock n load, then rock and roll. It does not sound like he had 23 of the same gun.

He didn't rock and roll. He was listening to country music.

Nobody ever says WHICH COUNTRY...

Extremely sad.

Perhaps more firearm regulation and funding for mental health services is needed.

I don't like C&W, either but I don't shoot up the audience because of it.
