Default Mass shooting in Las VegasSo far 2 dead in 2 separate shootings in LV,

So far 2 dead in two shooting incidents in LV,at an open air concert, 24 hospitalised with gunshot wounds. One shooter has been taken down, but another is on the loose, no word as to whether or not it’s terrorism related, or just some local nutter. Most likely the former.

if its just a nutter and not terrorist, the American people want all these guns around.
This keeps happening and yet they still allow guns. Even if they ban guns there are so many about now in the states, I cannot see how they could ever get them off the street.

It is sad that people go out to enjoy themselves and end up in hospital or worse, dead.

I think 2 dead and 20 or 24 injured the news said.

these shootings will end when "men refuse to pull the trigger"

The death toll is now at 50 with 200 wounded. Tragic, our thought's are with the families and loved ones.

The craziness of this has killed at least 58 and injured over 500. A white sixty-eight year old with no apparent record. Oddly, I am pleased it's not "terror related", but the cries for gun control will yet again be raised.

Horrible, and so sad for those involved.

And, sadly, will yet again be ignored because of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. Will they ever learn? Probably not.
