    The yanks are pulling their hair out at no motive. Much easier for their dumbed down media to portray bullshit when they have darker skin or a Muslim sounding name. They can't grasp the fact that some very rich white american can lose the will to live and go down in a blaze of glory. Dont need motives all the time, just add craziness and some legally bought firearms.

    Word is that he used a military grade AK47? That's illegal for individuals to own in the US, isn't it?

    Heard that was the reason he was able to take out so many people in such a short space of time.

    At best, he modified his weapons with bumper stocks, which really walk a fine line of legality. Basically, these things rock the rifle back-and-forth, pulling the trigger quickly, thus simulating automatic fire. I have no question in my mind that these things should be illegal.

    At worst, he had fully automatic weapons which are illegal except for people who have spent a lot of money and time getting the licenses for (which, according to the police, he spent the last 20 years amassing this arsenal).

    Full disclosure: I'm a gun owner. I own a .45 caliber pistol that hold 8 rounds. Basically, it stays in my closet until I take it to the range a couple of times a year and that's all I do with it. Would I be sad if guns were banned and I had to turn mine in? Yes, because I enjoy the sporting aspect of it. Would I understand it and turn it in? Yes I would.

    Having read up on all of this, it doesn't make any * sense. I don't want to sound all Angus-y, but if ever something didn't seem right, this is it.

    Aye the only one I have seen with the brother was that one with him standing by his car in the drive way. I watched it for a bit and then turned it off, it was just wrong the man was utterly lost and hadn't a clue what to say. Horrendous, just try and imagine how you would feel getting told that by some * then getting stuck on the news live ...

    Why would he have all those guns in his room? He couldn't use them all. And how did he get all of them, undetected, up into his room? We're talking full-on assault rifles here, not concealed hand guns.

    Wouldn't he just pay the hotel staff some money to take the suitcases to his room?

    Seein his dad or grandad was a bank robber and phsychopath,maybe it was in his dna,existential crisis then snapped.Maybe he seen it as way to be rembered forever,he looked like he was tryn to beat a record.But who would do such a thing?Well theres plenty in america who chose the same path,though not an everyday occurence.It does happen a lot columbine etc i could go on.

    This is no way surprising,its actaully expected over there.There will be more in coming years.

    I started to watch and turned it off after about a minuite, felt like a * watching poor people dying, also felt if I was as bad as the * that filmed it.

    Yesterday Fox News was talking with ex sheriff of Clarke county police which controls Las Vegas. He said contacts of his said the shooter had shot one of the FBI men in the thigh as he approached the door. CNN has someone from head of communication in Mandalay hotel. He is reporting that lowly security guard Jesus Carlos was the hero room service who distracted the killer with his trolley. But they couldn't confirm if Mr Carlos was armed??????
    Mr Carlos is at home recovering after being shot in the thigh!!!
