Shooting at Las Vegas casino

I still find it baffling to think he was able to get that much weaponry into a hotel room and nobody noticed.

 

They also die with a spear or an arrow. Guess you shouldn't be able to use a normal hunting rifle.

 

I would bet that he simply shot the windows out. It's not like he wasn't about to make a helluva lot of noise anyhow, and that's much easier than trying to bash out a tempered glass window with a chair or something.

 

Except you don't want to kill a hog. The goal is to kill lots of hogs at once whenever you get the chance, otherwise they make a lot more hogs.

 

That is crazy. Is there video of him checking in?

 

Take a couple of those big suitcases with wheels. Break the guns down so that they're shorter and less bulky, and you could probably put eight in one of those easily. Maybe leave some of them, like the pistols, in the car in smaller bags and bring them up from the parking lot after he got settled in the room.

 

Probably so. Logistically speaking, that just seemed odd to me since the glass would fall onto the street and alert someone that something weird was going on. He'd still have to scurry into shooting position.
Guess he had enough time, though, and it's not like anyone at the concert would have heard anything to warn them.

 

Sixtyish dudes rolling suitcases in Vegas ... well, that’s most people in Vegas. One big suitcase and one traveling golf case would probably be sufficient, and wouldn’t merit a second look from anybody.

I’ve done trade shows where I have to carry all our stuff in those big road cases. Even those wouldn’t merit much notice in a place like Vegas.

Where we are headed, if we don’t get a handle on this damn gun thing, is a situation like the Philippines, where every entrance to everywhere is guarded by two or three burly security folks and a metal detector. You ready to walk through a metal detector to go to the mall? Or the supermarket?

 

You know, call me odd for thinking this, but I'm quite willing trade off making it ever so slightly more of an effort for a few people to slaughter hogs in exchange for making it more difficult for nutbags to mass-slaughter humans.

 

The Una-shooter?

 

You know what they say, the waiting is the hardest part.

 

Wild hogs are an absolute plague. They breed like rabbits, they are extremely destructive, and they're smart. Even smaller pigs, like javelina in South Texas, can cut a man up right damn quick, and the really big ones like the Russian wild boars that they have in Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia are huge and hard to kill. If one jumps you in the woods, you'll find out that you can climb a skinny pine tree with no limbs a lot better than you thought you could. Incentive makes a big difference.

Link to a Fox News piece on a kid in eastern Alabama who shot a 1,000 pound plus hog which was 9'4" long and had five inch tushes. Alabama Boy Kills 1,051-Pound Monster Pig, Bigger Than 'Hogzilla'

Note that he shot the hog six times with a .50 caliber pistol and still had to follow it to finish it off. All an M4 would do is piss it off unless you put twenty or thirty shots into it.
