WAS STEPHEN PADDOCK NORMAL? MANY GUN OWNERS KEEP 17 FIREARMS ON AVERAGE

Stephen Paddock was, indeed, a gun nut.

As the owner of 42 firearms, the Las Vegas madman was at the very far fringe of even the fringe of gun ownership in the country.

Most gun owners possess an average of three firearms, according to a comprehensive national survey co-led by Northeastern University and Harvard and released in September 2016. Meanwhile, 130 million gunsā€”half the country's firearmsā€”are owned by just 3 percent of Americans, or 7.7 million people. These "super-owners" own 17 guns, on average.

Probably had something to do with having more money than that vast majority of even serious collectors.


If I had millions of dollars I would have more guns.


ANd more houses.


And more, really of all material goods.
and you cannot really count Paddock in the numbers, cuz we would expect a mass murderer to stockpile somewhat recently.

I find it strange that his brother was not aware of all his brother weapons?

They did not seem particularly close.

Depends on the type of mass murderer.



COuld have been a very recent decision, in which case you might see a spike in the last few days.


Or not.

Yeah, we can put him down as a liar. Easily.

However, it's family, so...
 
Its possible Paddock may have originally targetted another festival. But lost his nerve...

Stephen Paddock May Have Scouted ā€˜Life is Beautifulā€™ Concert: Report
So it was really too shoot in a crowd and maybe it was not the country concert that was aimed at.

They did not seem particularly close.
He said on CNN that his brother sent him a message, "How's mommy doing?"
He might not be very close, but maybe he does not want to be involved in all this?

He really answered questions from reporters, but he seemed nervous at times.
He will have to live with the fact that his brother is a serial killer that will stuck him to the skin all his life.
 
I think it is time to discuss reasonable gun control measures...
We already have plenty of reasonable gun control laws.

It's about time we started enforcing these laws with an iron fist

There's nothing to enforce on Paddock

And?

You do realize that only about 1% of all murders occur in mass shootings don't you?
Enforcing current gun laws will have an effect on the 99% of murders that remain
 
no, are you?

is 'for' the only 3 letter word with an 'o' in the middle?

But at least I can change my 'huh' for a laugh now that I can read the sentence.

It's the one that makes sense. Are you really that incompetent that you can't work around a typo?

Sure, anything to avoid addressing the point.
your statement:
The don't need that capacity for themselves

it is not a 'need', it is a desire.

Just like people that want a bigger house, a faster car, etc.

And they don't NEED a legal way to own it.

Stop being a dick.
i can come up with a list a mile long of things you don't "need" but it's none of my business is it?

This has been said a thousand times. It never ceases to be a dumb argument.
No dumber than you telling other people what they need or don't need
 
Guns are designed to propel a projectile at a target
Anything else that happens is the shooter's responsibility.

OK so how do you stop these type of attacks without trampling on the rights of people who own guns or want to own guns who will never commit such a crime?
Paddock made exactly the same claim

And? That means what exactly?
The gun shops say that he was a fine man when they sold weapons to him

They said the same about me last time I bought a firearm.

Does that mean I'm going to turn into a mass murderer?

That is yet to be determined. They're all good guys with a gun until they arent.
The worst argument ever.

If you want to make all laws based on the fact that no one commits a crime until they do then let's do it across the board.

You're not a rapist until you are so let's do something about that now.
You're not a wife beater or a child abuser YET so we have to do something about you.
 
I know, you are shocked. SHOCKED!

Not

McConnell Dismisses Any Talk of Gun Control
October 3, 2017 at 3:57 pm EDTBy Taegan Goddard94 Comments

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) ā€œshut down all talk of legislative remedies to gun violenceā€ after the Las Vegas massacre, mirroring the remarks by Speaker Paul Ryan,ā€ Politico reports.

He declared this is simply not the time to be talking about legislation targeting firearms.

Said McConnell: ā€œThe investigation has not even been completed. I think itā€™s premature to be discussing legislative solutions, if there are any.ā€
 
She may be in tokyo, but I still think he had a female helper that has not been caught yet that was in that room with him. And his gf in japan knew about it and helped the planning.

Just my opinion, mind you.
Why a woman? If the conspiracy is two shooters for the two tripods in two windows, I would think another man.

The woman shot the man and escaped?


Because she was seen and heard 45 minutes prior to the first shots fired telling people they were going to die that night. I think it takes longer than 45 minutes to get to japan. So, who was the other short, brown woman yelling this just before the murder spree began?

Oh that woman. From the descriptions I have seen she was a drunk or drugged out space case who probably tells people that EVERY day. Totally worthless as a conspirator. She probably could not even tie her shoes.
. The problem for you is that she was right, and people did die. Not so much a space case now was she ??
