The problem isn't that people don't care or doesn't want to do anything. The problem is there's been nothing really offered that's either not already in place, would actually do anything other than make people feel better or is a total ban.
I'm all for shutting down the sale of "Bump Stocks", that makes sense. Again, ideas that will actually DO something, ideas that aren't already covered by laws currently in place?
Anyone?
Stephen Paddock purchased 33 guns over the last twelve months, mostly rifles.
While gun stores are required to report purchase of multiple handguns, there is a loophole in that stores are not required to report multiple rifle purchase.
Close that loophole.
Second, ban the sale of automatic weapons.
Third, set a limit on high capacity magazines, a law which was in place from 1994 to 2004, but was not renewed by Congress.
Fourth, outlaw the sale or use of all the modification devices that can make a semi-automatic into an automatic weapon.
The sheriff just mentioned that Paddock fired 200+ rounds into the hallway as the police/security guards approached. I know he had a camera set up on the dining cart in the hallway and was shooting through a closed door/wall, but it's amazing only one security guard got hit in the leg. I can only imagine what the police in the hallway were thinking, is it one perpetrator, a half dozen, what if he/they had explosives.
I think you misunderstood that 200 shots number. (I could be wrong. New information is coming out all the time.) The guard that was shot in the hallway was also the only person to approach the door at the point in time. He's credited with finding the actual room the shooter was in and calling the sheriff dispatcher.

those cops had some big ol' brass ones, going into that room with little knowledge what they would encounter

Depending on how it's implemented and the exact wording I'd not have an issue.
Would that be multiples at one time or over a period of time? Would that be all long guns including shotguns or just semi-auto rifles?
Would this require a Federal database that's accessed by the dealer like the Federal narcotic database to see where/what that person has purchased in the recent past to thwart gun store shopping?
Also, what would be the number that triggers reporting 2,3,10 and in what time frame?

Almost correct, a gun Store is required to submit to the Federal Government a separate form, all on their end about multiple gun purchases on the same given date. It does not distinguish if it was rifle or handgun, just that the person buying the firearms was buying more than one at a time on the same given date.
Once I purchased several firearms at the same time, two hand guns and 1 shot gun. I watched the store put the serial numbers on a separate form. I was not required to sign that form. Only the gun store was filling it out.
If the buyer was not paying attention, they would not even know about this other form.
I saw the GoFundMe is up to almost 9 million I wonder how they're going to decide how all of that is divvied up.
Paddock didn't have any kids so I am wondering who he left his money to in his will (if he had one) and whether or not the government decides to take it.

Automatic weapons have been banned for many years (unless you have a certain type of FFL).
The days of public gatherings at the bottoms of tall buildings in the United States are over. That is until enough white people are gunned down and the Second is eliminated.
Uh; even COUNTING all those mass shootings by white people, including Muslim Arabs: the Black on Black murder rate is many times higher out of 100 people.
