Fully automatic weapons are illegal in all U.S. states.
@limeygent I'm not in any way an expert on guns. The soundtrack we have all heard on the news made it seem that this was fully automatic. Does that not sound right to you, or is it just that this was then an "illegal" weapon.
any mass meeting of people is vulnerable to either a terrorist attack or an attack from a madman with no political allegiance, just a fucked up brain and moral set .. all 'the authorities' can do is to be as vigilant and responsive as possible to keep the public safe ..
easy to say, perhaps more difficult to achieve .. DO NOT let the bastards win
the terrorists and nutters want us walking around scared, looking over our shoulders for potential attackers, terrified of the shadows, wary of strangers .. cliché time ..

I was listening to this on the news earlier then listened in to the police radio. Unbelievable how calm the police were with each other. Really impressive how they hendled it.
I looked around on twitter to see what was going on and this is where it starts to go pear shaped.
Rumours of shooters at Bellagio, Luxor (and a car with wires sticking out the back), Newyork Newyork, MGM.
Turns out most of it is incorrect but also shows just how harmful social media can be with these situations. People need to think before they post but t hey would rather try to be the one to "break" the story
Just had a look at it seems confusing across the US. Would appear that it is still possible, although it is meant to be highly controlled. "Grandfathered" automatics are still out there, but apparently these would probably fire nowhere near as many as current semi-automatics.
The question then is why any form of automatic, full or semi, should be available to Joe/Joanna Public.
Glorifying guns etc is part of the problem - I've only mentioned him in response to someone else's post and I certainly wouldn't waste my time following a jerk like him.
I get pissed off with the infantile attitude towards guns and the casual attitude towards violence.
really?, if this turns out to be a ( which im assuming ) terrorist attack it has sweet fa to do with call of duty or gloryfying guns, if you dont follow him how do you know what he does in his time.
How can this not be a terrorist attack. White people commit terrorism too.
No clear idealogical or religious motive seems to have been identified at this stage so I'd say there is just as much chance of plain psychopathy as opposed to terrorism mate
Rumours it was political and therefore if true it IS Terrorism.

A lot of talk on twitter that it is ANTI Trump.
Twitter can be relied upon for things to be dealt with in a reasonable manner. If it does turn out the gunman had an issue with Trump I imagine a very reasoned and calm debate will follow.
Let's hope things remain calm following this awful event....
Looking at "witness" footage, there's no muzzle flash visible which means the gun was moderated. The rate it fired indicates that it was possibly chain fed. If that is the case, I wonder what the laws are on owning one of them in the state of Nevada

It's an open carry state, so you can walk down the street with your shotgun in full view in Nevada without a permit!

There were reports that people saw a muzzle flash, but who knows. Just because you can't see one on the hectic videos doesn't mean there wasn't one, and just because witnesses say there was one doesn't mean there was.
Nevada has pretty loose gun laws. What role that played remains to be determined.

It's legal to own fully automatic weapons in some states IF the weapon was initially registered before 1986.

FFS America... you do yourself no favours.
So far the only motive seems to be that the fella was a

Just a simple, heartfelt RIP to those poor souls who lost their lives and thoughts for those injured and the families affected.
Mans' inhumanity to his fellow man knows no bounds.
Just remember all the good stuff that happens.
Just shocking . RIP to all the victims
