50 dead now.

f**k. I saw the original video footage that had the sustained gunfire audio and thought that the death toll was going to be high but I didnt think it was going to be at those levels.. Sounds like  automatic  gunfire into a mass of people. Brutal

RIP to all the victims

Americans will not reform gun laws and they aren't interested in caring for people with mental illness. The result is atrocities as regular as the seasons. The media love the excitement and the pictures are brutal. This is a system problem. There will be another one along in a few months. The GOP is owned by the NRA. People die because of this.

this is a feature not a bug. How can you make the argument that all good guys should have guns if you don't have bad guys killing people? God help anyone caught in this.

Will it cause a rethink on guns in America? Will it f**k.
If Sandy Hook didn't cause a rethink.....
The extreme right wing spun that as a false flag op by BO and the Feds to create the climate for gun control.

Horrible. It's stunning how two countries as culturally linked as ours could develop such diverging attitudes on issues as no-brainer as gun, or healthcare.

Not really. The US is a colonial country so the guns became normalised. And it is a plutocracy. Ireland is a much older country so it is more stable.

Will be interesting to see what ideas/rhetoric he may have aligned with. Is that coming out yet?

Cops have debunked the ISIS claim on him fairly quickly.

The man was 64. Could a 64 year old, who according to info so far, has led a law-abiding, low key life, be susceptible to bullshit brainwashing without some form of mental illness?

There is a real search for narrative that is going on now and it distracts from the fact that the bastard reportedly had ten guns in his room who shot into a crowd and killed so many.
He is a white male so initially, it wasn't reported as terrorism.
Now ISIS are saying he was their soldier but it isn't being treated like it's fact.
No matter who this lad was with the NRA lobbied for the likes of him to get his hands on those guns so they, as always, have blood on their hands.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

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 were in the tens of thousands in Las Vegas, the officials said.
It was not immediately clear if those transactions were losses or wins.

You would guess they were loses. Maybe this was his revenge.

The gun availability/control ship has sailed. Too many people out there have been brainwashed into thinking that any restrictions on their freedom to buy a military-style assault weapon amounts to vicious, government repression.

This f**ker shot nearly 600 people in a few minutes.

600!!!

(Let that number sink in...)

From high up across the street!

But hey, we in America just have to live with it.

Can't let desperate, at the end of their rope, refugees trying to escape REAL repression in because a fraction of a percent might have terrorist sympathies. No... can't take THAT chance.

But loosing fellow citizens by the dozens on a routine basis to any nut who can acquire a freely available legal or illegal weapon and ammo...

Constitution man!
