Las Vegas Strip Massacre Mandalay Bay Shooting - Page 3

Glarion,

It is a shame what happened and for whatever reason it happened. Whether this guy a right nut, a left win nut, an ISIS inspired nut, or simply a plain old run of the mill nut makes no difference. The fact is one person killed nearly 60 fellow humans and wounded or caused the injury of over 500 others. There is a special place in hell for someone like him.

It is statements like this that will help tear this nation apart when we should be coming together more.

Wizard,

It doesn't require military trying to learn how to turn a semi auto into a full auto. Heck, in truth most people in the military never learn how to do that, only very specialized jobs. This is the power of the internet I think or perhaps he took gunsmithing classes. Also, family loses track of each other as they spread out across the country. The occasional call isn't enough to read into a person's mind, even if that person is a brother.
