Why would you ever need that gun he had, as self defence or to protect yourself? It mowed down hundreds ffs

We find it incredible, a lot of Mericans think its incredible that we do.

And when the NRA lobs $30m at a presidents campaign kitty, well, square that circle and you might be half way there.

For if their government gets tyrannical. So really they should be using them to overthrow the current system they are in. It's what their founding fathers would have wanted.

Over 400 injured they're saying now.

Thank god he wasn't a Muslim. There'd probably be pogroms, given the state of things now.

You just know all them 'good people' from the southern states were readying the torchlights as soon as it happened. They are probably more upset it wasnt a terror attack, than they are the about the actual attack.

It's amazing how many of them disregard the likes of Dylann Roof and the Oklahoma City Bombings when talking about terrorism. Doesn't fit the narrative you see.

Reports of having ten rifles in his hotel room according to a number of news sources. I don't see the need for one rifle, let alone bloody ten.

IIRC its two or three guns per person.

I think there is roughly one gun per person, about 300,000
but get this, the average US home has 8 guns. To skew the average like that there must be some private people out there with enormous arsenals.

Beggars belief how this could ever happen, indiscriminate killing of people (inc. children one would presume) for what?

The bloke was obviously a massive nob.

Might be time to bring in airport style security at the door. Especially for these super hotels. Madness you can just mosey on in with enough firepower for a small war.

2 or 3 per owner, abar 300MM each, guns and people

I'm in the pro-religion camp, but I find just as distasteful as the rest the "God's judgement against sin" rhetoric you're going to hear this week.

I guess he didn't like country music.

Bloody shocking that America lets this happen time and again and does nothing about it.

300,000,000 guns and people

And something like households that exceed the average have like 17 per house

My parents have probably a dozen, almost all hunting rifles and shotguns. But nothing like the automatic rifles you see on the news. But these nut jobs often have a dozen+ of the assault rifle sort.
