Shooting at Las Vegas casino

There's no way he won 250k without losing 10 times qs much. People who go to the casino all the time and play at those levels don't just stop at one jackpot. They're chasing that high.

Gonna come out that he's down millions on casino credit.

 

There's always a way.

 

I wonder if they'll learn anything talking to the girlfriend, or if she really didn't know what was going on until he started pulling all the guns out of the suitcases. I doubt that this man was such a loner and so closed-mouthed that no one knows anything which would shed some light on why he did this.

Congress is never going to repeal the Second Amendment, and even if they somehow summoned the guts and did, there are three hundred million guns in circulation. That genie is not going back into the bottle. More than that, we are now at the point that you can make a functional pistol using a 3D printer. You'd have to use a piece of pipe for a barrel, so it would be smoothbore and short ranged unless you knew a machinist, but that's available now. No serial number, nothing. Download the specs from the 'net and go.

Even something on the order of the Assault Rifle Ban won't do much, because there are too many weapons who don't look scary like that but will still function in that role. The men in this country grew up on stories of the pioneers, on Westerns and war movies and cops and robbers. Gun culture is too widespread and ingrained to get rid of them, even without the hunting and target shooting side of things.

Large capacity magazines are something that there is a chance of cutting back. There are scads of them already out there, and the gun guys would be buying them up and hoarding them hardcore if it looked like controls on them would pass, but at least they wouldn't still be manufacturing and selling them.

 

Sure sounds like it. I mentioned earlier on thread, but it got lost in the shuffle, NBC reported that he had recently made "large gambling transactions."

 

How many people could he have killed if he wasn't using automatic and semiautomatic weapons?

 

It's been half a day. I know its a microwave world, but give the investigators a little time to work.

 

Guess his disposition didn't exactly come from nowhere. His pops was once on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted

After escaping from prison, "He moved to Oregon where he restyled himself as the 'Bingo King of the State.' "

Not exactly the Sausage King of Chicago.

 

True, but there's no reason anyone needs a semi-automatic to hunt. Isn't the poor animal at enough of a disadvantage already? If you can't get Bambi with one bullet then you don't deserve the kill.

 

Plus it looks like he had a pretty big suite on a high floor of the casino. Probably comped. He wasn't some guy who just fed 50 bucks into the slots a few pennies at a time.

 

You're right.

I'm used to there being more information by this point, I guess.

 

We can define firearms of mass slaughter in sufficient legal terms as to exclude their weapons. But hunters should realize that if and when a reaction to the gun cult becomes political action, they're liable to be swept up in it.
