People kill people.
How they do it is immaterial.

We're deferring from the topic but I'll just say this:
In SA it's illegal to own an automatic rifle, yet we have perps attacking people with AK47s and R5 rifles... Making something illegal doesn't remove it, it makes getting it harder

By that "argument", we should just give up enforcing everything because someone, somewhere will manage to break the law anyway.

Not at all. But claiming it would not have happened is stupid given the context of how these things work. Look at drugs as an example But we're deviating from the topic at hand. Let's focus on this specific attack and not get dragged down into what ifs and what nots

Okay besides the gun laws in countries, is there any further updates on the shooters? Any organization claimed responsibility? Was this just a absurd insane act from some troubled persons?

Apparently the two was ejected from the concert for telling people they were going to die. (Witness account) Man and woman around 5ft tall. No idea yet if it was them or someone who had a premonition. I read it on Skynews.

OMW !!!! This just in on News24......

With the death toll in the Las Vegas shooting rampage having risen to over 50 people, including two off-duty officers and with over 200 injured, it is now being described as 'the deadliest mass shooting in US history'. :wtf:

He was confirmed dead early on in the investigation, leaving officers searching for a 62-year-old "associate" named as Marilou Danley.

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said investigators had found the woman, who he described as Asian, 4 foot 11 inches tall and weighing 111 pounds (50 kg).

But in a news conference on Monday morning, he made no comment on whether she was alive or dead.

No opportunistic organization claimed him yet.

Wonder if they were ISIS ?

The alleged gunman was believed to be a local resident, police said, and the motive was unclear. Paddock appears to have worked as an accountant or auditor. He was also a licensed hunter and private pilot.

Can we just do the responsible thing and give people who have mental health problems the care they need?

Why should there always be a political agenda? It's possible that some people are just fscked in the head...

Man and woman removed from gig 'warned revellers they were going to die'

A witness, Brianna, speaking to Las Vegas station KSNV said a couple had been ejeced from the concert because the woman was telling people they were going to die.

"She had been messing with the lady in front of her, telling her she was going to die, that we're all going to die," says the witness.

"They escorted her out to make her stop messing around with all the other people in front of them. But none of us knew it was going to be serious."

The witness described them as looking like "everyday people" and around 5ft 5in to 5ft 6in tall.

Seems so in this case?? He lost his CHIPs

Doesn't sound like an ISIS member to me -

Paddock, 64, was a resident of Mesquite, Nevada, a retirement and golf community of about 20,000 people, a police spokesman confirmed.

Why am I hearing this comment so much today in particular?

Police are investigating motive. We'll see what comes from it.

He was also a licensed hunter and private pilot.

So he had a choice between shooting people or flying a plane into them. Have to wonder the damage if he decided for the other method.
