Mandalay Bay is named after Mandalay Myanmar - where the Rohingya Muslims are being attacked by the Buddhist majority.

For interest sake - Nevada State Gun Laws -
Legal to carry an assault rifle with no limit on magazine size.

No purchase permits and waiting period for firearm sales and private gun sales are legal.

Killing people is illegal, but that didn't prevent the shooter from opening up on the crowd.

As someone else has posted, 11 people were killed in South Africa where we have really strict gun laws.

Lombardo says police have located Danley and the suspect’s vehicles.

He said more than 50 people are dead and 200 wounded.

:(

Lombardo confirms that the dead suspect is Stephen Paddock. He warned that the investigation will be long and protracted.

Oh, look. The fake suspect 4chan 'identified' is incorrect. :rolleyes:

Random innocent person has been smeared for no reason.

The rather relaxed gun laws in Nevada could have made killing that many people, that quickly rather easy.

Had the gun laws been a lot stricter, and he had only been able to get a handgun, I seriously doubt he could have killed as many as what he did.

LV Sheriff Joseph Lombardo doing a press conference right now... Says 50 are dead and 200 injured.

Stephen Paddock, 64 year old local, the suspect, had multiple firearms in his hotel room.

EDIT: Already the deadliest mass shooting in the US. What the actual f**k.

A law enforcement source told CBS News a search warrant has been issued for the home of the shooter, identified as Stephen Paddock, of Mesquite, Nevada.

Police there told CBS News the suspect was white, in his 60s, had been living in a retirement community and hadn't had any run-ins with law enforcement. He wasn't a veteran, Mesquite police added.

Asked if authorities think the shooting was an act of terrorism, Lombardo replied, "No. Not at this point. ... We don't know what his belief system was at this time.
