Active shooter at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas...

[ArcadiaGP]

If you have one, name your price.

I'll pay a couple Franklins.

I seen a guy make one with an adjustable stock, duct tape, a grip and some scrap steel.

Has anyone reported the actual measured range from the shooter to the victims?

 

[Ericpwp]

+/- 500 yards from what I've read.

So much on the Vegas mass shooting last night. I'm gonna post a few things but not all at once since I don't want to bore people to death.

I might've been in Vegas at the time of the shooting, were it not for the NHL. Coming from California I was an LA Kings season seat holder until I moved. Die hard Kings fan back to the early 80's. For the past 20 or so seasons the Kings would play a preseason game in Vegas, an event called "Frozen Fury." Basically an excuse to go to Vegas. With the Vegas Golden Knights expansion team entering the league this year, Frozen Fury is now a thing of the past. Had the NHL not expanded, Frozen Fury would have occurred, likely this past weekend. I usually stayed Downtown or Off-Strip but occasionally would go to the Strip. Interesting. And being a country music fan I might've even gone to the concert.

Not to detract from their service, but why does this need to be pointed out? There are stories of plain old regular people doing the same thing. It's like were talking about two different classes of people.

Blyleven, who is the son of Hall of Fame pitcher Bert Blyleven, said he has no formal medical training but that he felt obligated to do whatever he could to save lives.
“I just felt like I had to,” said Blyleven, who estimated that he may have helped about 30 or 40 people get away from the gunfire. “I would hope that if me, or my family, was in a situation like that, that someone would come in and get me.”

Thousands fled the hail of gunfire in Las Vegas. These people stayed to try to save lives.

It's from a veteran site.
They tend to lean towards veteran news.

All of those people that hung in there and helped others, that's our country. That's the spirit of America. F**k this guy for doing what he did, but a huge salute to those who stood up and jeopardized themselves to help their fellow countrymen.

Needless senseless violence
praying for the recovery of the wounded and the souls of the departed and For the grieving families of the involved.

There's a lot of great people walking our streets every second of every day.
Thankfully most will never have to show what they're made of.
When they are put in a position to help out and rise to the top most will never get the recognition they deserve.

Daily Mail is reporting he had an actual full auto and a couple bump fires. Bye bye bump fire.

 

[Deet]

Prayers for all involved. Tragic.

I'm seeing references to posts in the past 10 pages that I'm just not seeing. I don't think I can blame it on my Chrome plugin that hard-removes ignored users from the board entirely, but merely a lack of attention paid to the thread.

I don't see any links in the past few pages... nor do I see a number of people's arguments being backed by posts to argue.

Hmm. Maybe it’s the plugin.

So Fox News just had Rob O'Neil on and according to his navy seals expertise, people don't need bump fire stocks and automatic weapons....there's just no need for it. And the news chick is nodding in apparent agreement.

He also said a semi automatic can be converted to full auto in 4-6 minutes if you know what you're doing. I'll admit I don't know what I'm doing.

Well if they can be converted that easily, it would seem the only sensible thing would be to outlaw all of them. After all, no one needs such weapons of war.

Once again proving that legislating morality is impossible. Best thing that could be done in response to this event is allow prayer back in schools.

I would not give them any ideas but.......
