At least 50 people were killed and more than 200 wounded in a mass-shooting attack at a country music concert in Las Vegas late Sunday night.

A gunman opened fire with a fully automatic weapon at concert-goers at a country music festival at the Mandalay Bay resort just before 10:30 p.m. local time.

Still no information regarding the motivations for this guy.

One way or the other.

Even mad men make their reasons known.

I’m guessing he’s a leftist who targeted people he believed would be most likely to attend a country music concert — Trump-supporting conservatives.

Well it seems to me he targeted a country music concert because mostly white people who lean to the right are into country and since the left has been waging this war all year against white people who lean right, this guy decided to mass kill. I mean he didn’t shoot up a rap concert did he. I’m betting he’s a hardcore lefty just like the Steve Scalise shooter which coincidentally 60 minute did a whole story on last night. I wonder if that set this guy off.

Still, this is Vegas. Point spread will fluctuate until the facts are known.

Sorry, clips are for paper, not used with firearms.

He’s a nut job first and foremost IMO but, unfortunately, even nut jobs have political leanings. and you’re probably right-judging by the targets, I’d say he leans left.

“Clip after clip after clip after clip, bullets flying everywhere, everybody running. It was really bady.”

No magazines. 120 round strings of fire. I assume belt fed.

NO MATTER WHAT WEAPON WAS USED, IT STILL WASN'T AS DEADLY AS A TRUCK.(stolen from Ted in Tallahasse). 86 killed, 500 wounded in Nice, France. Whether it is a truck or a gun, it doesn't matter because they are just tools. We get these stories only when muslims and madmen use them for reasons NOT in their inherent design.

This needs to be said before ANY talk of gun control with your friends at work this AM: "Almost as deadly as the truck used in Nice, France". THAT is how you deflate your anti gun friends/family/coworkers/neighbors.

Ps. My Garand takes clips. Mausers and 03 springfield use clips.

That is wrong, of course. What weapon was butt-breath using for his murder spree?

The SKS is designed to be loaded from 10 round stripper clips. With a little practice, it can be done almost as quickly as changing a magazine on an AR.

Scalise..I wonder if that set this guy off.

This took a lot of planning. This was set in motion way before the Scalise interview. And, to have a fully automatic weapon, perched above the crowd, was undoubtedly planned way in advance.

ISIS threatened back in may for lone wolves to attack.
My gut feeling says this guy got some form of Islamic messages in his worm ridden skull.

History shows that We’d better give in to the left’s demands soon, or they’ll kill all of us!
