News are stating that ISIS is behind this. The shooting turned to Islam a few months ago.
So i'm sticking to my first scenario, wich seems to be right on. A weak mind that brainwashed himself on the internet.
- *the shooterBennn
- Ban the Internetz!moldero
- watch...moldero
- its is ISIS. They claimed it.sureshot
- http://www.independe…sureshot
- Terrorist group calls Stephen Paddock 'a soldier of the Islamic State'sureshot
- fucking Islam need to vanished from the planet earth.sureshot
- NRA propaganda?_niko
- You know many person are getting a bad obsession with all terror/war/islamists stuff and all they do is watch stuff about it online all the time.Bennn
- you seem quite keen for it to be ISIS, sureshot. Almost as though you've get a set of views you'd like to validate.Fax_Benson
- big difference between claiming responsibility and being behind something.fadein11
- its sad as it is. I ment ISIS btw. ..sureshot
- please don't use this shooting as an excuse to call for an entire religious group to be eliminated ... it sounds stupid and hateful as fuckmonospaced
- "ISIS claimed it" they claim everything. why do idiots believe/entertain anything they say?moldero
- News are not stating they are claiming. FBI stated that he doesn't have a connection with an international terror org.Beeswax

ISIS just wants to latch on and is jealous of this guy.
This guy is not a convert. Look at this guy. One look and you know his background.
- The investigation will answer the question. I guess his Internet history have a lot to tell!Bennn
- yeah i call BS too, the claim ISIS responsibility and NRA grows stronger. If it's homegrown, the NRA is a pariah._niko
- as if this has anything to do with ISISfadein11

- This came out after Sandy Hook, even with the tragedy not one single politician put their career in the line to change laws.robotron3k
- if the mass murder of children couldn't make a society change there is not much hope for them.lowimpakt
- no politician did because even saying anything is perceived as a threat against the idiotic constitutional right to bear arms by knuckle dragging conservativesmonospaced
- "Barack Obama was called the ‘best gun salesman on the planet"
http://bit.ly/2itG4r…
worth a read.Bluejam - Got it. So conservative gun nuts fabricated a story that Obama would take away guns, and then bought more guns. So blame Obama? Fucking hell, that's stupid.monospaced
- Thanks for strengthening my point, Bluejam.monospaced
- Cause MuriKKKa that's why!utopian

"We have no idea what his belief system was," Sheriff Lombardo added.
The sheriff was asked if there was any evidence the attack was related to terrorism.
"No, not at this point," he replied.So-called Islamic State later claimed to be behind the attack, saying that Paddock had converted to Islam some months ago.
But the group provided no evidence for this and has made unsubstantiated claims in the past.Senior US officials discounted the group's statement.

So many rumors. We have people saying he joined isis, we have others saying a note from him was found asking people to repent to jesus, so a radical christian. Which is it?? Police need to get on top of this quick before there is some sort of retaliation from people.

- yeah maybe. he was 64 lolCygnusZero4

The FBI says no connection has been found between the Las Vegas gunman and any international terrorist group

Dan Bilzerian IG story of Las Vegas Shooting. Dude was there
- Yeah that's smart, genius. Law enforcement are locking down a situation and you take it upon yourself to run on back and git yer gun while playing hero on IGGM278
- Someone has to maintain the illusion that randoms carrying guns can stop crimes like this, or those randoms might stop buying guns.i_monk
- He runs a massive security company...zarkonite
- he is a colossal prickfadein11
- what a fucking doucheMilan
- I long for the day he's flat broke and only has his beard to eat.mg33

lol at guns being used simply because they're owned. It's not worth going into the statistics of gun ownership and crime once again, but i will say that the large population of gun owners are legal eagles with no crimes reported under the use of so many guns. Then there's suicide, then there's criminal use... the side that gets all the attention.
My gun is in my glovebox, 5ish years I've owned it. Never once shot it. Cleaned it and reloaded it several times. I can totally see why I should give up that responsibly owned firearm because a nutjob misused his. :/
How many knives need to kill? How many cars need to kill? How many whatever need to kill before the vocal minority start making demands that affect the whole? Apparently we've reached peak firearm... Blah blah blah, cars aren't meant for that, who cares? it causes death.
Are we preventing death or banning guns? Change the education behind gun ownership, change the way mental health is approached, because carpet legislation that appeases one side will invariably enrage the other.

this quote on tolerance applies to both sides when the discussion becomes that of absolutes...
Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.
- Agreed. I'm going to get shit for saying it but you should go to the range and practice every so often. 5 years is a long time for muscle memory.GM278
- I think people are mainly outraged at how easy it is to get military grade weapons. I can just about see the argument for a pistol or a hunting rifle. Butfadein11
- automatic assault rifles? Haven't heard a single reasonable reason for their legal status.fadein11
- ^100% agree. There is absolutely no scenario that I can think of where a civilian can justify having a military grade weapon.GM278
- Same here, fadein - the older I get, the less I give a shit about another country's gun ownership.. but automatics? Cmon.detritus
- My rule of thumb: Could I be trusted with one? If 'no', then illegal.detritus
- America will always have loads of guns. It might be the way that the society is structured that leads people to believe they need them.PhanLo

I used to question if banning guns would help. Then I saw how it effected Australia when they banned them in 96. Gun murders dropped off a cliff immediately, and there has been NO mass shootings there since. Thats crazy.
Of course people can still get them illegally, but they are MUCH more expensive, much harder to get. Sit down and really think about how you would get a gun if they were banned here. Ill bet many of you wouldnt even know where to start.
This is so out of control in this country with these crazy ass white people. Its just time to try and ban them and see what happens. WTF do we have to lose here? Lets see if the frequency goes down. Ill bet anything it will.
- < actually much of the gun crime in USA inner cities is done with guns bought on the street and by inner city youth or criminals who couldn't buy one anyway..bliznutty
- but i'm not trying to argue.bliznutty
- and most mass shootings are done with legal assault rifles.CygnusZero4
- which begs the question, why are "assault" rifles legal in the first place?monospaced
- For the most part they are not. For ex the AR in AR15 does not stand for assault rifle. It stands for ArmaLite rifle - the company that designed in the 50'sGM278
- Now, the fully automatic version of the AR15 is the M16 which is a military weapon. The AR15 is semiautomatic. While illegal to do so, ppl cn switch a fewGM278
- parts in the lower receiver and turn it into a full auto. I think allot of the legality of ownership gets mucked up in that.GM278
- I mean, average joe can walk into a Wallmart and buy an AR15. Swap out a few parts for 2K and it's a military weapon.GM278
- that's the issuemonospaced

This whole story is so weird... the profile of that guy...
What if the presumed shooter was not THE shooter, but a victim... ? Am I the only one to think about that ?
Someone who was abducted ? Maybe ???
Maybe I watch too many TV shows...- Maybe, like me, you're struggling to comprehend how someone can do something so horrific.GM278
- again x3, his internet history will tell a lotBennn
- we get it, Bennnmonospaced
- we're talking about banning guns IN THIS THREAD, you smug fucksPonyBoy
- (sorry... wrong post)PonyBoy
