Active shooter at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas...

Judging by the author, I'm going to assume she suggests eating all the guns.

Agreed that we need something else. 1st on the list would be to stop tilting at windmills (targeting inanimate objects instead of the people that misuse them).

Looks pretty clean for a head shot. Seen lots of them and many that are a lot worse than this.

I just wish he had started with that shot, instead of waiting.

You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.

Speaking of what may shake out in the calm-of-the-aftermath, the lingering suspicion that this guy was a leftist sticks with me. If that turns out to be true, then it would allow for a significant shift of the conversation.

Oh, there's also the classic, "If the bad guys have these, then the law abiding need them, too." Perhaps not right away, but it is still on the table.

Careful, you are following on the tinfoil path according to the mainstream media and one here.

It's still an active thread here so....

I think I saw you at a funeral in early July. The deceased (a good friend) had done a pretty bad job of things.

This is pretty SOP for a relatively authoritarian state and well known. Naomi Klien's "Shock Doctrine" discusses this behavior on the world stage in response to political and natural disasters. But it's easy to see this type of response looking back at a lot of domestic policy.

I've had the professional obligation (in the past) to see crime scene and autopsy photos. That self-inflicted wound doesn't appear "abnormal." There didn't appear to me to be a "normal," rather a range of "normal."

Kinda odd that that the revolver would end up over his head, if that's what was used. But, I recall a forensic guy's testimony that with a suicide there's no way to account for all the permutations of how someone was angled when they shot, which muscles were tensed, which ones flexed, and where the gun's recoil took it. Again, there's kinda a "range" of normal.

You forgot the "S". Answer- within a week.

....and the organizers of the concert, Jason Aldean, whoever owns the land the concert was on, the security company at the concert and the hotel (if it is a contractor), Surefire, Slide Fire, whoever made the rifles, some of the first responders, the hospitals, doctors, etc., etc., etc....

This. The lawsuits and legal work will go on for a long, long time.

Standing and fell backwards. I couldn't tell if it was a mouth shot or a temple shot.

Yeah, I think it was mouth in the pic I saw, but the angle wasn't conclusive.

This is the detail that will unravel the whole plot. Agent Paul Smecker will come in and figure it all out.

Safety first then crime scene preservation? SWAT breaches door and storms in first reaction is to remove weapons (guns, deadman switches, etc.) from the hands/reach of the gunman?
