    Since my husband is away on business and he knows more about guns than I do, I hope someone here can explain something to me. The shooter was on the 32nd Floor and it seems to be a pretty good distance to the area where the concert goers were shot. What kind of weapon can fire from that distance and hit so many targets? Anyone know?

    Didn't take long I see.....already the illiberals are trying to equate the shooter to a Trump Voter. Must be one of those Democrats that voted for Trump and gave him the win over Hillary.

    At least we know its not a Bernie Supporter. As they like shooting up Repubs.

    any large caliber long rifle more then likely a semi automatic which would be most hunting rifles
    and because so many people was packed together you really didn't need to be an excellent shot just point in the general direction and shot

    Apparently he was using a high end automatic, which are very expensive, and very difficult to obtain.

    And this being the case, two questions will now be asked, one of which is legitimate:

    1) What were his political beliefs/party affiliations?

    2) Can these situations be prevented WITHOUT infringing constitutional liberties of privacy and firearm ownership?

    Meh.....with our resident lefties. Never gets past 5 pages.

    The left politicizes everything. Ask Maxine Waters who politicized Trump at a funeral.

    Wow. All I can say is, condolences to the families, and best wishes for those who survived and are still in medical care.

    Own a plane you mean? No idea. But it is not cheap to get your private pilot's license so these are not usually lower middle class or poor people.

    Report: 'Samir al-Hajib,' shooter from Las Vegas

    According to an unofficial report from Reshet Bet, the Las Vegas shooter's name is Samir al-Hajib.

    He is an American who converted to Islam at the age of 30 and lives in Las Vegas.
    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/399561

    Now I'm not going to stand by this report as fact but I looked up the source and Israel National News is reputable and credible

    Why doesn't your link mention anything about the terrorists political affiliations or ideology? Why would you make an absolutely baseless assertion? Zero credibility on your part, and not a chance anyone thinks you have any sympathy for the victims. It's always about Trump, and dying "white Christians" with you. Pathetic.

    What a half baked statement to make.

    It's not like we have been savages as a species for thousands of years or anything.

    As to the last question the answer is no

    Liberal gun grabbers will not doubt not let a bad situation to waste

    But a fast moving truck or auto could have easily killed 50 people with no gun used at all

    So the left can take the guns but that won't stop crazy people
