I wonder how many more people the murderer would have claimed had he been using a silencer. Congress is all set to approve silencers on weapons to ostensibly protect hearing. Someone ask Wayne La Pierre how easy it would have been to find the shooter if he was using a silencer.

Well, modern âassaultâ style rifles easily and quickly break down into pieces that can fit into a suitcase. At a hotel like Mandalay Bay you could wheel a huge road case, say the size of a gun vault, up to your room without any suspicion, people will assume itâs just some gear or display for a trade show.

It was satire. No amount of armed âgood guyâ civilians could have stopped this. It is always a NRA response.

Supposedly the smoke alarm went off in the shooterâs room.

I think you should reply to Josh on the comment thread on which Josh made that point.
Oh wait, Josh NEVER writes anything on a thread that allows comments! Not even for Prime members.
âŚ*five hundred ***ing people injured
I am having trouble contextualizing that.

You can probably get a howitzer into your hotel room in Las Vegas.

I wish I lived in a civilized country. Yesterday I commented on how those of us on the west coast learn what has transpired overnight and in the morning late.

Motive. Violence != Terrorism.
Terrorism is violence or the threat of violence with a specific intent to cause more widespread fear in order to push your agenda.
Someone just looking to hurt people without any other agenda? Thatâs not terrorism. Thatâs just violence. Even if it causes wide-spread fear. So letâs not call this what we donât know it to be yet.

Well, yeah, but it costs extra to get one without hookers to jump out of it.
So Donald is immediately (if not sooner) headed to Las Vegas to show is concern (as he should). It would have been nice if he could have gone to Puerto Rico any time in the last two weeks to show his concern for the 3,500,000 Americans devastated by hurricane Maria. But of course they should do everything themselves and fix their own goddam problems (he canât be bothered to visit that icky place with all that icky destruction). It was FAR more important that he attend that golf tournament at Trump Bedminster Golf Resort and Trump branded hotel and dedicate the golf trophy to the good people (first responders, you see, are good people) of Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico doesnât have a shining Trump Tower.

The motive was that he wanted to use his toys, er, I mean, guns. End of story.
Have we actually gotten information on the weapon used here? Bump-fire shouldnât be legal regardless, but if this guy was using a true fully-automatic weapon, we should be informed.

The President conveys his âwarmest condolences,â because a sociopath is incapable of expressing sincere sympathy.

Bollocks. If they were arresting him heâd be face down in the gutter with several knees in his back.
We can joke, sure, but Iâm serious for once. The incongruity is bothersome.
