Nothing is going to happen. News of this broke overnight Monday. It's a little after 10pm Tuesday and the story is already being pushed to a sidebar so that CNN can get back to banging the drum about Russian election ads on Facebook. Las Vegas will be off the radar by Friday and so will all the gun control chatter.

You'd sit on the balcony of an evening listening to the daft bastards just over the hill blazing away at Christ knows what till it got dark . Where's the fun in that I thought; guns are shit, buy guitars instead. |

In all likelihood, there will probably be a run on these firearms. No need for an automatic weapon. America screwed for the foreseeable future? Kinda doubt that, we have no shortage of guns, but do have a shortage of psychopaths of this type. How many mass killings of six year olds have we since Newton, certainly not a flood of them - ? Probably will see copy cats in the future, not limited to the US. |

Any thoughtful member will be cautious about stating simplified conclusions. EXCEPT: the gun Fantasy and Fascination is deep in America's soul. That was manifest even before this. Our culture is saturated in it. I don't think any other nation or culture can be used for comparison.
This man was not disadvantaged or slighted by society in any way. Financially he was on the border comfortable / wealthy. It is emerging that he had a very large gun & ammo stash & had modified rifles with a "bump stock", to = machine guns. Age 64, it's not High-T, but maybe there were medical issues, drugs. Like Hemingway's "not a man anymore." & It seems his father (whom he hardly knew) was a deceptive, clever crook, once on FBI most wanted, called "psycho & suicidal." But so little contact, you would say more likely genetic. Point being, you can have all kinds of other things that intersect with Gun Mania. But is only here, in America, they do.

Some talk in the US about making 'Bump Stocks' (that Paddock legally bought then used to make his weapons into machine guns) illegal.
(Just going on the arguments used by pro-gun members) Surely 'the bad guys' will already have them or get them illegally. So it will be better that 'the good guys' have them as well to stop 'the bad guys'. So the logical step is to make machine guns fully legal and available for everyone. Problem solved (again). |

If you want to bump fire, you don't need a special stock.

I would predict that ISIS will gather a squad of suicidal adherents, take a number of rooms in a hotel overlooking an open air crowd and copy this idiot. Not only will they shoot a lot of people, but they will have plenty of trampling casualties to add to their damage numbers.
Surely they are scouting locations as we breathe. |
