Re: Las Vegas shooting
right wing blogs, claiming the shooter was an anti-Trump liberal
Facebook and Google promote politicized fake news about Las Vegas shooter

some on the far right falsely identified the man behind the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history as Geary Danley. It’s unclear where exactly the hoax originated, but rightwing users aggressively promoted his name, seizing on evidence that he was a liberal.

Well, at least Trump can claim it was the biggest mass killing ever. Yuge.

Re: Las Vegas shooting
Eric Paddock, who lives in Orlando, learned of his brother’s involvement...“We are completely dumbfounded. We can’t understand what happened,” he told the Orlando Sentinel. Speaking to a CBS reporter, he described his brother as “not an avid gun guy at all”, although he added that Stephen may have owned several handguns.
In what world is someone (with no military connection, not a collector etc) owning several guns not a gun guy?

Re: Las Vegas shooting
Earlier today and out of curiosity, I looked at the cost of a room at the hotel I saw $800 for one night. Not cheap.

Victim list coming out now. Young happy people including one Albertan woman. So senseless.

Re: Las Vegas shooting
Initially so shocked by the amount of people killed, the horror of it all and then just this dull oh well feeling..
what's that phrase you live by the sword you die by the sword...
Doesn't America deserve it?
I don't consider it a place I even want to visit anymore.

Unfortunately those opposed to gun's in America are like the 48% opposed to Brexit. Stuck in the firing line of stupidity.

The ruling elite most probably deserve it, but I think the regular American citizen definitely doesn't. They like the rest of us feel the pain from the selfish activities and unending greed of the super rich and influential.

Re: Las Vegas shooting
I won't be surprised if hotels in Vegas bring in x-ray devices and metal detectors to start screening people coming into the building.
Theme parks in the US already screen guests, so why not major resorts such as in Vegas?
Seems police also found Ammonium Nitrate in the shooters car.

Can you open carry on the Strip or Downtown Las Vegas/Reno?
Yes. Casinos will likely ask you to leave or disarm if you are discovered carrying, but the only penalty is trespassing if you refuse to comply. Open carry is legal and police/security cannot stop it on public roads/sidewalks. Southern Nevada/Las Vegas Open Carry members have carried openly en masse several times in both Downtown and on the Strip.
