Mass shooting in Las Vegas. 50+ dead

[The Grand Nudger]

Newb traps are the best.  I'll trade you.  We'd set up a table in the clear area between duplex mockups on a MOUT range with a spent smoke we'd painted black with big red letters that said "FRAG".  

The test was this.  Go to that table over there and toss that canister like you would at contact.  Anybody who threw it at all was reprocessed on grounds of being a danger to non-combatants, and anyone who threw it into the empty mock street was failed on grounds of having killed themselves..all their friends, and anyone standing in the street.

(for the non military types....you can't properly throw a frag farther than the effective kill radius..you can barely launch one past the effective maim)

Las Vegas mass shooter was a Trump supporter

Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock was quite the fan of President Donald Trump before he killed 58 people and left another 500 injured—the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history. 

Paddock, a millionaire who reportedly would gamble up to $1 million a night in casinos, was attracted to the president's politics because of the boost the stock market has enjoyed since Trump took office, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told KLAS, a local CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, during a two-hour interview.

Hahaha. There's already videos of him with his girlfriend holding signs at Clinton support rallies.

It was a gun free zone though.

Yeah, photoshop is wonderful.  Take it up with the sheriff.  I'm not impressed with your assholishness.

[Rev. Rye]

Any sign of Fox News reacting to the news that the shooter supported Trump? Have they decided they don't actually hate him after all, especially given that, shortly after it happened, they said they didn't know enough about him to hate him?

[Amarok]

It's possible he was a Clinton supporter in 2016 but it's pretty clear he switched sides before the massacre

I could care less whom the shooter supported, we have had mass shootings forever, with lots of motives, from Christian, Muslim, workplace grudge, and mentally ill. What is so disturbing to me about your argument, just like the Congressional baseball game, even when conservatives get murdered, you still don't want to do anything.

Screw motive.

It is the same damned answer we get from the far right even when we agree with them.

"It's the mentally ill"

Sane, "We agree, lets do something."

"NO!"

"It's the terrorists"

Sane, "We agree lets do something"

"NO!"

"It's the criminals"

Sane, "We agree lets do something"

"NO!"

Now you want to say its the liberals?

Ok fine, still "Lets do something".

But no sorry, sell more and do nothing isn't an argument.

Don't claim you want to reduce the 36,000 firearm deaths per year on average then keep repeating "No!" and expect me to believe you care.  I'd believe you if you simply said you are selfish and just care about the object and not public safety

Oh and the recent Walmart shooting with 3 dead, had the same damned problem as the Dallas police shooting. Several right to carry idiots were in the same Walmart and SLOWED DOWN the investigation because police had to make sure those idiots were not the shooter.
