Just reporting what I'm hearing, and again Fox is NOT confirming this.
Didn't see it on FOX News yet, sorry for jumping the gun

It is awful. If this is not pure evil, I don't know what is.

But we will never learn anything. A lot of talk, bickering back and forth, conspiracy theories (), then we will forget about it.

Hmm. Was the guy pissed off because of some gambling losses? Undoubtedly some people here would be frustrated if there were no political angle to this.

The suspected gunman behind the Las Vegas massacre made several large gambling transactions in recent weeks, according to law enforcement officials.

The transactions by Stephen Paddock, who lived in Mesquite, Nevada, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vega, were in the tens of thousands in Las Vegas, the officials said.

It was not immediately clear if those transactions were losses or wins.

They have mentioned it three times now since I started watching live since 5:45 AM this morning. I repeat, however, that Fox has said there is no confirmation of this report as yet.

Scalise, a victim of gun violence himself, has called for all Americans to stand together in solidarity.

If only City-Data was capable of that LOL

But MSNBC has yet to mention ISIS at all.

Nobody is claiming it would prevent these tragedies. But the carnage could be on an even higher level if people were not hearing shots and begin running and taking cover.
Maybe they should restrict the volume of concerts.

Do you for one minute think he would obey gun laws?

BTW, you can build your own silencer using a flashlight, heater plugs and a drill press. There are dozens of Youtube videos that walk you through it step by step.

I like having my suppressor, because it makes my gun less loud.
