Wait, where was he shooting from?
A gunman opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, aiming into a tightly packed crowd of thousands below who were attending a country music festival.

The shooter, armed with what appeared to be at least one automatic weapon, used the elevated vantage point to fire into the crowds across the Las Vegas Strip at the Route 91 Harvest festival, where Jason Aldean was onstage.

Banning firearms will not stop any deranged individual from seeing through any act he/she has in their mind.
It makes it harder to do though. If you were a nutter over here and fancied getting hold of an automatic, unless you were a proper bad ass, and you had a fortune to hand over, you'd get nowhere near one. Over there you just nip to the mall.

It would reduce the production of weapons which would reduce the availability, it's the US, supply the demand economics.
Companies make these because there is a profit, no other reason at all.

Maybe not. But put aside todays events, I would wager that more than 10 folk have been shot in the US today. Maybe tons more, havnt a clue.

But do you really think the attitude to/rules relating to, gun ownership in Merica is not worth at least taking a look at to see if perhaps the number of gun related deaths could be reduced?

Its not about banning firearms. If he had 10 handguns, no way is he going to do that much damage. They could start by banning guns that fire stupid amounts of rounds in seconds.

This article says that an American online gun store sold 30,000 semi automatic AR-15 guns after the Orlando shooting. Thats just absurd.

Thank goodness for those arrows.

Or look in your dad's sock drawer. It's quite baffling. You have a country with a chronic epidemic of mental illness which manifests itself in ways unlike any other in the world, with little or no access to healthcare but the easiest access to high powered weaponry. And I'll take bets that the minute an American politician mentions guns in this whole debacle, the Republicans will be straight out of the block accusing them of politicizing a tragedy
