Fully automatic machine gun, they are saying it almost sounds like a military weapon that you'd have a tripod for that is belt fed. The people were trapped in the venue as there were no exits behind them for security. What a horrible event. And what is wrong with people posting here that only see 'their team or the enemy's team' and a never ending ghoulish need to vomit a political statement out immediately. Disgusting.
Are you hoping it's a white guy?
I’m hoping the victims were liberals... Low likelyhood though given the venue...
 
I swear to you guys, there are tons of countries with 0 guns or hardly any guns....Guess what??? no mass shootings, no killings at workplaces, schooles, shopping malls, roads, households, preschools, stadiums, ect....beleive me i've lived in one for 23 years, i've never heard of someone getting killed by a gun, because simply there are none.
It's doable ban guns completely you wont have these mass shootings.

Shootings are acceptable risk to live in America

Is the dumbest thing, this relation between some and guns. dozens of countries don't have this issue, simply because there's no easy access to guns...why can't americans give up their guns and live like many other countries live in Peace!!!
 
The answer is, of course, to get more guns out there on the street. And to make sure all those with mental problems have the fastest shooting, high powered guns made. Just ask 2a.

Another mass shooting, multiple deaths, and here we have another asshole wishing more were dead.
 
The initial response shouldn't be to blame the gun. As a Canadian who has never owned a gun let alone touched one, I hear the argument against guns often. I certainly am not a big fan of them, but I respect peoples rights and position to own them in the U.S and maybe with exposure and education I would respect them. The weapon could be anything, be it knife, vehicle, IED. Whatever. It's the person behind the weapon that decides it's use.

Furthermore, from what I can tell this is a fully automatic weapon isn't it? Former FBI agent on CNN suggests it might have even been belt fed. That would mean he wouldn't have to reload much, might have a clip of 100 rather than much lower.

Oh, and let's not forget the mass shootings in places like France where weapons are non existent.

I never wished for an increase in the death toll. Why are you lying, Leftist?

Prehistoric laws, they need to be changed so Americans can live in peace and in a civilized environment. It seems as if some want to stay in the era of the wild wild west.

Deadly mass shooting at concert in Las Vegas...

Las Vegas strip shooting: More than 20 dead, 100 injured after gunman opens fire near Mandalay Bay casino
Oct 2, 2017, More than 20 people were killed and 100 injured when what appears to be a lone gunman opened fire from a perch high up in the the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas Sunday night, police said.
The "nonstop gunfire," according to one witness, sent bystanders outside the resort on the Vegas strip ducking for cover and fleeing for their lives. Tourists hid in their hotel rooms and flights headed into the McCarran International Airport were held elsewhere. Bystanders sprang into action, caring for the wounded and at least one described someone dying in their arms. Videos filmed by onlookers gave a window into the chaos that ensued, with some thinking that fireworks were going off. The final night of the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival was taking place across the street from Mandalay Bay when the shooting took place and concertgoers were caught off-guard.

In the wake of the shooting, the Las Vegas Police Department said the suspected gunman, was believed to be a local, was on 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay hotel. Police responded to the scene, engaged him and he is now dead. Officials said they did not believe there were any more shooters. Authorities were looking for a companion of the shooter, Marilou Danley, as well as two vehicles, a Hyundai Tucson and Chrysler Pacifica, both with Nevada plates. At least two police officers were hospitalized. "We were just at the concert there, and Jason Aldean was playing," one of the concertgoers, named Mike Cronk, 48, a retired teacher, told ABC News. "Kinda sounded like some fireworks going off. I think there was the first kinda volley, and then all of the sudden second volley. My buddy's like 'I just got hit, ya know.' He got hit three times. Then people started diving for the ground. And it just continued." "It was pretty much chaotic," Cronk continued. "Lots of people got hit. ...It took a while to get him out. We had to get him over the fence and hiding under the stage for a while, ya know, to be safe. And finally we had to move him because he had three chest wounds."

Cronk said his group were finally able to track down an ambulance "and basically the one guy ended up dying in my arms because he was bleeding," he said. "And my buddy got in there. We got three more people in the ambulance. ... But I just got a message from my buddy -- and he's going to be okay." As bursts of gunfire crackled in the air, people outside of the casino ducked and screamed, according to video filmed by witnesses. "We're going to get trampled if we don't go," a bystander could be heard saying in a dramatic video of the incident. Confusion appeared to abound as those outside fled the scene with another person saying, "it's fireworks."

Michelle Leonard, who was located in a booth near the main entrance of the arena, said the shooting just “kept going nonstop.” Leonard said “mass confusion” unfolded as people tried to flee the scene. She said the shooting seemed like it went on for more than a minute. “I had no idea of where it was coming from or where to run to," Leonard said. She said she injured her leg as she tried to escape. Another witness, Jake Freeman, said he was standing on the rooftop of a nearby hotel when the shooting broke out. “I had a bird’s-eye view” of the shooting, Freeman said in a phone interview with ABC News. He said he saw "crowds of people running” as people “dropped to the ground.” “At the moment we didn’t realize that they were being shot,” he said.

Nope, very outdated....guns should be banned completly. Results? less mass shootings, and shootings all together. Proof? most countries have that in place.
